Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.

Rules:

  1. No bigotry of any kind.
  2. No tankies or right-wingers. Liberals are allowed so long as they are aware of this
  3. No genocide denial

We allow posts about tankie behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion.

How much time and effort do you think posting a tankie meme a day (or two if a tankie or one of their defenders says something fuckwadded and stupid to me, like 'I don't see why you're so worked up about Uyghur genocide!') takes?

I don't know, it seems like a lot for what the topic at hand is which is again where my genuine confusion arises from here.

I don’t know, it seems like a lot for what the topic at hand

How much would 'not a lot' of time and effort be for people who check all the following boxes

  • Support genocide

  • Support authoritarianism

  • Are a large percentage of users on this site/collection of instances

I spend maybe a minute making a post, and you assert that's far too much to critique people who support genocide.

I've probably spent more minutes arguing with you in this comment section, than ALL the minutes I've spent posting anti-tankie memes combined since I started in this comm.

Although, to be fair, that's also probably true of most of my online arguments.
