      I know you made that up and you have no idea of what you are talking about because you included Russia there.

          The comm of misfit posters used to have a lot of open ideation about purging “degenerates”, they’ve dialed it back a bit ever since I called them out about it.

          You guys will call anyone tankie, even anarchists.

          Every time I look at the modlog for someone there loudly complaining about ‘the tankie triad’ there’s almost always a ban (often a temp one) for either being a bigot, insulting people, or doing ‘both sides bad’ about the genocide of Palestinians.

          To them anarchists are Tankies for not saying Gaza is filled with rapists. Check goat’s ban log from his .zip alt. He legitimately said Gaza is filled with rapists.

          MoG is a fascist utopia. They have had actual Nazi dogwhistles upvoted.

            It is not an ideal community, but is there some other link that I should have put there instead?

      Tankies only call themselves as leftists. And some places, like Hexbear, aren’t genuinely anything at all except people seeking “the dunk” - the appearance of winning an argument regardless of the reality of it (which requires a rigidly controlled echo chamber).

      Hexbear got rid of their dunk tank comm. They are one of the most active instances with an excellent ongoing thread for international news and have some of the best analysis from people living in the Middle East, Nordic countries, China, South America, etc. Their mutual aid comm is one of the few places you can give directly to Palestinians, and a lot of comrades in need have found monetary help there (including me). Hexbear has its problems, but saying that whole instance is all about “seeking the dunk” is just another display of your ignorance, and how ironic it is that you keep accusing everyone else of only being interested in “winning and argument regardless of reality” all while revealing how unwilling you are to engage with actual reality. Every accusation a confession.

      You are in the echochamber though, and you just make shit up pretty much every time I see you post.

        The trick is to confidently make shit up. The tactic isn’t unique to Reddit, but it clearly was inherited from that culture.
