ozymandiasi’m starting to think tankies are a liberal ploy to keep liberals away from communism
they pretty much never complain about the right, it’s all about the “shitlibs”
GlitchyDigiBunRule #1 of humanity: “Nobody is that stupid” is always an incorrect statement.
EldritchI’m not saying you’re right or wrong but it is certainly interesting that the most prominent tankie specimens on the fediverse average 20+ essay-length comments per day while I get fed jacketed if I spend more than 2 paragraphs refuting their bullshit.
Strange that these self described proles have enough free time between their subsistence wage earning and real life praxis to write a small novel per week…
Fed jacketed? What’s that?
I can’t tell if this is like the federal government coming for you or some fediverse thing.

Tbf, the right aren’t here, and “shitlibs” are. Why make more circle jerk “don’t we all hate the right” posts here? There’s already plenty, and if they want to actually confront the right they’d have to go to where the right is, which is decidedly not here.
That said, even though I understand why they’d preach here to those who are here instead of those who aren’t or preaching to the choir, fuck tankies, they’re all pieces of shit, and fuck a vanguard party.
that’s not fair, tbf.
if they were sincere, constantly attacking people and accusing literally everyone who disagrees with them of being a shitlib is very very counter to the cause of legitimate communists.
Communism is of course a collective movement… it requires unity, and out of the majority political groups: liberals are the closest to communists.
In fact, i would argue that in their hearts, most people who identify as a liberal are not aligned with actual liberalism….
they have been going out of their way to make any leftist space toxic to liberals… to make any communist space toxic to communists.
when hxbr was on reddit, they brigaded and harassed leftists only…
and they definitely use a lot of sock puppets and run campaigns to manipulate and fuck up forums like this.
many people are stupid enough to be tankies, but i think the vast majority are completely fake.
they’re extremely hostile towards people who genuinely are interested in communism and come there to learn and engage… extremely extremely hostile.
they are not looking for community, they are seeking to destroy communities and make communism look as bad as possible.
in short: tankies are fake as fuck and a psyop

I mean sure, but they’re tankies, they’re fucking stupid.
I just mean you can’t yell at conservatives on a site where there are no conservatives, which is pretty damn straightforward.
But also no tankies aren’t just conservatives in masks, they aren’t all paid propagandists (though I’d be surprised if none were), they’re just fucking morons. Stupid isn’t only “when trump,” there’s stupid people everywhere on every side.
rockerface🇺🇦Stupid is when “my camp good therefore everyone else bad”, yeah.
