Im just wondering, is this some sort of anti leftist community? I thought it was about making fun of tankies, instead of framing anything not capitalist as extremism like in your dumb ass comment.
If you just want to do some thinly veiled leftist bashing circlejerk, you do you I guess, but at least then I can stop bothering dropping by here
Well, if you look at the post, the mods of lemmy.ml do end up proving Thorny right.
He went to their community, called them the same as literal nazis and religious fascists, dared them to ban him and now acts like that was an extreme or unwarranted response.
Pretty much. It is a feedback loop.
Are we pretending that the instance whose name is a play on Leningrad is not extremists?
Would you be equally charitable to an instance called “Nacht der lemmy messen” or “Credere Obbedire Postare”?
They’re tankies and proud to be, which is no less extremist from a liberal point of view
I am simply arguing that there is a distinct difference between leftists / socialists / communists and the authoritarian sycophants and war crime apologists that constitute the average tankie.
The former are economic and societal beliefs with plenty of merit, the other is jacking off to Stalin and unironically believing the fact that China is committing ethnic cleansing on its minorities is somehow a false flag conspiracy performed on chinese soil by the evil western imperialists.
Trust me, you will only find the latter on lemmygrad and hexbear. Trust me, I’ve tried to discuss actual contemporary political science with them and just get called a shitlib because I don’t buy their particular brand of leftist fan service hard enough.
It’s not supposed to be an anti-leftist community but there are some hardcore folks who think anything left of American Neoliberalism is extreme.
