Jesus christ, this is so cathartic. I’ve been on [email protected] for so long and have always had a mild concern about the kind of content that seems to collect up votes over there. I recently had the audacity to define fascist tankies based on the content of their posts, and got screamed down hard. Open, honest conversation is so fucking unwelcome over there, regardless of how genuinely understanding one attempts to be, and for a little while I was genuinely concerned that’s where politics is going. It’s nice to know I actually had just meandered into a tankie bubble, and reasonable people do exist on the internet.
