After someone mentioned me without tagging me on the Return2Ozma thread drama, I decided to Lemmy search my name to see what else I was missing out on. I didn’t realize I was so popular with the “People who defend tankies” demographic of Lemmy! Apparently, I’m a brainrotted liberal debate lord (simultanously, without any beliefs) who hates every leftist movement in existence, is a wedge between liberals and leftists, and sees imaginary tankies everywhere.

I mean, obviously, since I’ve made a whole 9 posts about them, including posts on “MeanwhileOnGrad” (5 if you exclude MeanwhileOnGrad and TankieJerk), over my past year on the Fediverse (out of ~1,570 total posts). Clearly, if it wasn’t for me, the leftists would have finally joined hands with the liberals to sing kumbaya together.

That’s a lot of work I have to put in when all I want to do is browse politics and post history minutiae without having to worry about people advocating genocide or fascism, but I wouldn’t want to disappoint any of them!

Also, apparently they think I’m Yeetpics? Which is a strange connection to make, considering our writing styles are… very different.

EDIT: And Joe Biden’s strongest warrior! Wow!

    I don’t accept any of those people as left, much less “ultra left”. They’re rossian conservatives larping as leftists, at best

      I’ve never been internet famous before! I won’t let it change me, though! Unless I start getting cash too. Maybe the CIA is hiring?

        Heavy is the head that wears the…I dunno, maybe a hat? Again, I have no clue who you are or what your style is like.

    I thought “leftists” loving authoritarianism more than they love leftism might be the dominant wedge between liberals and “leftists?” Like if you get banned failing to praise a nominally left state capitalist nation that produces hundreds of billionaires, while your counterpart in the dialog is calling you a “genocidal colonialist cracker” for thinking it is a bad idea to allow Bibi’s favored candidate to win.

    I don’t mean to downplay your involvement, though, I am sure it is significant.

      They mis-theorize everyfuckingone who doesn’t repeat back their own opinions adnauseum.

      Then they label you an enemy based on their assumption of your beliefs.

      Tell a tankie not to incite nuclear violence and give it a spin lmao.
