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

A few years ago, the Lemmy Developers decided to keep their political views on lemmygrad while keeping lemmy.ml more neutral. Now they are banning users who are critical of their actions and bigotry.

Anti-Tankie posts may put you at risk of being banned from commenting and posting on the lemmy.ml instance.

Right, no one in that community ever goes over to those instances, glorifies violence and bigotry, and then screenshots the responses for content.

I make sure never to take screenshots of new accounts to avoid just that. Even then, you must go through a vetting process to post on lemmygrad or hexbear, so your conspiracy doesn't hold much water. Only spliced screenshots are removing off-topic or non-bigotted comments, I do that to make the screenshot look prettier instead of having blocks of hidden comments to get to the example comment--Likewise, I don't screenshot negatively voted comments, which on Hexbear, isn't even an option. If comments are asking for peace from the community, then I don't touch that thread. Unfortunately, there are never any pacifist, non-extremist comments.

And of course that community would never ban someone for pointing out those kinds of bad faith tactics now would it?

You were banned for defending the usage of Stalin emotes, which I warned you about and your response was to respond with a bad-faith comment where you compare Stalin to fucking Luffy from One Piece.

Do you want to be unbanned? You'll have to follow the rules though, no defending Stalin or claiming that "it's just jokes"
