Nah I see how this works. Bye
Why are you still here? Didn't you announce that you were blocking this sub like 4 posts ago? Get out!
Because i see how this works. You’re not better than them, you’re doing the same thing they complain about, and so far, that’s what authoritarians do. I forget a lot about tankie things that I don’t understand, because they’re usually banned, shouted down, etc. You keep showing your insecurity in my inbox, have the last word and feel smug. You’re so sure about your ideas, you can’t tolerate me entertaining otherwise. Maybe I’d come to the same conclusion for myself if I can’t let that happen because it’s not possible to hear from them. I used to defend freedom of speech for Nazis too, but I learned. I also learned about psyops of everyone from cliques to governments, including inflation and band wagon.

I'm sorry; did you just compare some asshole shitposting online with an authoritarian? Are you actually stupid? Do you just not know what authoritarianism is?

Yeah. I think you might legitimately be stupid. You know you can go check out any Tankie spaces on Hexbear or Lemmy.ml any time you want, right? Like, a couple instances defederating from them doesn't in any way silence them. They're still free to post their garbage opinions on their own instances.

Ok, yup. You're legitimately stupid.
Why are you still here, again?
Ow oooh owwww I’m going to wither and die because someone on the internet felt threatened by a different perspective and rather than have legit rebuttal attacked like they accuse tankies of doing.
I mean, wither and die if you'd like. It's no skin off my nose. But I don't in any way feel threatened by your "different perspective". I just think your perspective is dumb as hell. And I'm postulating that you've probably got to be a complete moron to hold that perspective.
Also, what is a legit rebuttal to someone who's so dumb that they think that there's no place to interface with Tankies? You're pretty ridiculous.
I just wanted to chime in to say Penis
Right, right. You don’t “feel threatened,” so you immediately try to kneecap someone to prove how tall you really are. Sure.
You've made a pretty pathetic case for yourself. To me it looks like you are the one who feels threatened and insecure. I guess it's hard to know how you look to the rest of us.
Ok? You're the one who claimed that you were leaving, and yet you keep coming back to get the last word despite the abuse. Shouldn't the abuse you're deservedly receiving be some kind of impetus to, you know, actually leave? Or are you just too dumb to take the hint?
Yes, I went and followed another thread, and you all kept showing in my inbox. The other things I did were interesting and I forgot until the rage notifications came in. Like another commenter was asking for a solidly rational answer, so was i. I didn’t even know the term until more recently and I don’t agree with my ideas so great, i need violence, coercion, insults etc to come in. Anyway, my homegirl and mutual friends were all together in between times and this was space filler for downtime/(sometimes) idle contemplation (one need not accept an idea to entertain it). Thanks for the compelling arguments that “convinced” me. I did change my default filter for a minute and see a post in the top ten about subscriptions to whole other instances, so I’ve done that and it’s as rampant as hexbear, unsubscribe. I literally thought it was fascist based on the large, flashing “freedom! Own the libs!” that was so obnoxious, it hurt my eyes and I was confused about the nature of the server. Again, authoritarian communism. Yes, I understand the distaste but Communist philosophy in general isn’t something I’ve been widely exposed to outside a couple of college classes, and I daresay, English lit and soc 101 were probably where I got any exposure at all (maybe also critical reading, thinking, syllogism etc classes). It was definitely… illuminating. And i only got dv’d, cursed and insulted for wanting to see for myself, rather that doing the same, calling anyone stupid, moron, shitlib, fascist etc.
Ok. So let's go back a few messages in our little private discussion deep in the "show more replies" of this thread, when I said:
Well, then. Maybe you should spend some time on Tankie spaces and learn what they’re about before just assuming that anybody who doesn’t like them is just being a close-minded asshole.
And you replied:
Nah I see how this works. Bye
So... let's recap. First, you saw a meme you didn't like because (according to your own words), you didn't understand it.
I didn’t even know the term until more recently
Then, upon seeing that, you decided to post that you were going to block this sub, as if anybody in here actually gives a shit. When receiving pushback on that, you decided to ignore all of the opportunities to learn the information that you knew you didn't know, and kept trying to take the moral high ground (which really was just you sticking your fingers in your ear and shouting "lalalalala".
Now that you've received sufficient abuse, you've decided to actually educate yourself on what a tankie is by doing the very thing that I suggested several posts ago and visiting tankie spaces, and you've decided...
It was definitely… illuminating
Do you see why I called you a moron all of those times, now? Instead of just, you know, making use of the incredible power of the internet to inform yourself on a topic that you knew nothing about, you just decided to blast your stupid, uninformed opinions all over the place, and then get butthurt when you received pushback.
Hopefully, you treat this as a well-needed lesson, and refrain from doing that in the future.
No there’s no reason to call me that. I said i for distracted and it was like a train wreck. You know you shouldn’t look or engage unless you have something to offer without clogging up bw but then you do because whatever reasons (in this case distracted, then amused Ava amazed by what Kelly poppin in my inbox. Does unsubscribing from the sub stop inbox replies to comments? I also said I was busy, yes i know and have a superficial understanding of the term, and how would I know what to search for that wasn’t censored/blocked/bad faith info without asking for a general direction?
