Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.
Rules:
- No bigotry of any kind.
- No tankies or right-wingers. Liberals are allowed so long as they are aware of this
- No genocide denial
We allow posts about tankie behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion.
Curious about non-tankie leftism? If you've got a little patience for 19th century academic style, let a little Marx and Kropotkin be your primer!
Marx's Communist Manifesto, short and accessible! Highly recommended if you haven't read it

Why make two threads? Both are missing most of the convo. I don't think what he is saying is right but he does clarify his position right after.
off-topic shill post:
if you're using piefed, you can see all conversation across fedi for any crosspost, and comment on any of the individual posts from the same page.
Because each time something new and horrific was said? The two threads weren't made at the same time, and I wasn't aware that Unruffled was going to skip from 'defending Uyghur genocide denial' to 'being an Uyghur genocide denier' when I made the first one.
By 'clarify' you mean 'directly contradict'?
If someone dismisses genocide, then, after being called out on it, half-assedly walks it back, which is the sincere position?
Fair enough but personally, I do think you should let things settle a bit before making threads on them. When I commented, I was under the impression you reposted because the other one got downvoted.
I agree on your impression of the whole of it though. Not sure why he had to put quotes around the word genocide for instance.
