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.

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

Kropotkin's Conquest Of Bread

Selected works of Marx

I’m not sure how that’s relevant though, the admin is just another person with opinions but I’ll concede it’s a pretty big instance.

I still see HB and most of the .ml instances. It’s not that hard to see shit takes and just acknowledge it’s a shit take and move on.

... other than acknowledging someone openly having a shit take simping for genocide, what do you think is being done here?

The biggest difference to me is my money isn’t going to exterminate the Uyghur population of Chinese provinces the way it’s being used to wipe Palestine off the map.

But sure let’s go with implying that two horrible situations are the same because I can only think in black and white terms. Nuance and subtlety are irrelevant as long as I can get internet points or something.

What the ever-loving fuck does that have to do with simping for genocide being bad?
