I sometimes wonder how it feels to be unable to think for yourself, having each and every one of your opinions come directly from the hivemind right down to the catch phrases you use. I see SO much hivemind thinking here and the whole “tankies” thing is a great example of it. The people at hexbear and all people who think communism would be better than profiteering from death are not a monolith just as the people who support that orange guy are vast and varied.

Does being a sheep prevent you from processing nuance or is it just easier (or faster) for you to get your opinions wholesale from someone who you identify with? I see it so often that I can only guess that it’s pure laziness.

Do you feel the same way about applying Nazi to alt-right?

Tankie refers to a specific subset of people, those who are fine with oppression and authoritarianism, maybe not everyone on Hexbear are all tankies but it’s the Nazi bar problem and best practice is to kick them out.
