These threads are great at baiting the .ml tankies out so I can block them. It’d be nice if server blocks also blocked all their members, but Tank traps like this’ll have to do for now
Wtf is a tankie in this case and how would this article attract them? Someone who doesn’t like Biden? Because there are tons of leftist reasons to not like Biden and it’s good to know them. Avoiding criticism of their dear leader and staying in echo chambers is how liberals wound up in this current predicament.
Its less so this thread is targetted towards Tankies, and more so this is a topic that brings out the .ml crowd more than other topics, .ml being the most offending source of tankies now that hexbear is blocked by most communities. And a Tankie is a communist who supports states like Russia and China and how those states maintain their power.
I guess I don’t see how you would tell who is a tankie unless they started bringing up Russia or something. Because otherwise, if you’re just guessing because they’re criticizing Biden, it’s a pretty poor assumption.
It strikes me as saying, “Oh, here come all the antisemites” in a thread about Palestine. Like, sure, it might attract some, but until it does, you’re then prepping people to accept any criticism of Israel is antisemitism. Not sure if I can word what my issue is exactly, but I guess, it kind of comes off as purposefully shit-stirring to me lol.
Especially since previously, people would say this topic would attract tankies because any criticism of Biden would get people accused of being a tankie (I’d be accused of being a Russian shill for that even though I very much so don’t like Russia or their war, and I very much wanted a better candidate who could beat Trump). But now that this discourse has moved into the mainstream, it’s obvious that it was denial by everyone else before.
For me? It’s the .ml tag, if you are still in ML and not a Tankie, you’re either lying, or a useful idiot. Neither person is worth my time anymore. I’m not on the internet to be fair, its my own time and I’ll spend it on whom and however I wish, no one else is entitled to my attention.
So yes, I’m absolutely priming everyone else to be suspicious of what an .ml user is saying as there often isnt any value to it if they arent straight up being manipulative/duplicitous. There are plenty of reasons to have a nuanced discussion around Biden, but you arent going to get nuance from a Tankie

I think you opened the wrong app, maybe you wanted to open notepad so you can be sure you are the only one typing in there.
Lmao
So you can remain in an echo chamber?
blocking fascists and fascists wearing the skin of the lefties they killed is not creating an echo chamber

They simply call anyone who doesn’t see Biden as their god king ‘tankies’. They’ve become liberal MAGA lol
Anyone to the left of Netanyahu.
