    Periodic reminder that the anti-tankies never actually engaged with us and are simply rabid anti-communists

    The moment I see “tankie” I just check out because the whole person is to be thrown in the trash

      I mentally replace “tankie” with “n-word” and things sound alot more honest from anti-communists.

    I think that the meanest thing that I did on here (with the arguable exception of ragequitting and deleting all of my content four years ago) was banning a rude user for the same number of days that Adolf Heusinger served as the Chairman of the NATO’s Permanent Military Committee.

    There was also the time when I indirectly snapped at somebody for griping about a source. Oh, and I told somebody to leave me alone for pestering me.

    I can’t think of many other times in recent memory when I behaved aggressively on Lemmygrad, though on Matrix several years ago I did insult the admins and the rest of the community shortly before I ragequit, calling you all just as ignorant as antisocialists are. That was a really over‐the‐top comment on my part and I only made it because I was feeling really frustrated at that time, though I’ll admit that there are still some certain… aspects about this community that I wish were better. Otherwise, my misbehavior is usually limited to making snarky remarks about anticommunists for your amusement.

        Because they have no clue what “tankie” even means, so they use it for anything they don’t like. Someone debunking propaganda? TANKIEEE! Materialist analysis of a political event? TANKIEEEEE!!! Bad weather? TANKIEEEE!!1

          “Oh, I am fine with socailism! You know, real socialism like they have in Sweden and Norway. Not that red fascism that tankies believe in. Did you know that they are…authoritarian!?”

          A tear slipped out of my eye just typing that.

      I never visited there, even in my reddit days, but isn’t it presumably a gaming sub? Why would they even be talking about bombing countries?

        The topic was Helldivers. Helldivers is a leftist game that satires USA fascism. GCJ has identified that the game is satirising fascism, but refuses the coding as the USA, western Europe, AUKUS and the NATO countries.

        Some Nazi (not apparent from what he said, but I recognise the name) made a comment to the effect of ‘GCJ pretends to be against fascism but would happily bomb poor countries over a gay rights issue’, and the comments where highly critical of this supposedly being a contradiction. They made unironic and unambiguous statements in support of bombing and invading countries ‘to spread democracy’ like the game was a commentary on, but in their world view, unlike the game, because they would educate and enlighten the backwards countries by introducing new human rights laws that would better protect gays.

      If they think that the Reddit mods are tankie, then the tankie jerker could simply follow their own policy to severe all their social network in Reddit from their claim that a person who does not like a product, service, or social media should not contribute to it. This policy of the tankie jerker comes from the victims of Communism who have the wealth, connection, and favor from a superpower for the travel expense, housing purchase, and citizenship application to successfully settle in a new country or the market power to change company service or products. It also has the authoritarain assumptions that all countries, companies, and social media depends solely on the respective people in the highest authority for their success which negate the contribution of subordinates, suitable geographical locations for trades, climate, ideology of prior governments, natural resources, child enslavement and inheritance thief of Indigenous children in North American Indian Residential fake schools, intervention from external countries, and Bretton Woods Institutions which sustain the de facto command economy on an international level to benefit Western European diaspora. If the tankiejerkers think that all countries, social media, and business companies are run by tankies, then the tankiejerker should folllow their own policy to cut off their social media connections, destroy their citizenship passport, and go to a dangerous barren wasteland where the European immigrants imprisons any First Nation Indigenous people who do not forfeit their property and reparation for fake school Holocaust.

    I forever maintain that “Tankie” is a racial slur. Just replace “tankie” with “n-word” and you understand things alot better.
