    behave like a bunch of 4channers,

    4chan isn’t tankies and 4chan isn’t just /pol/ there are plenty of boards on there that have no equivalent anywhere including reddit or lemmy like /lit/. I bet people on hexbear haven’t even read a book in the last decade.

      I never said anything about political inclinations, it’s the trollish and toxic behaviors that are comparable. You even quote me saying “behave”. Don’t be *a Hexbear please…

      *Thanks for pointing out the typo, dear 6channers, much appreciated :)

          kinda hypocritical no?

          No. Feigning to not understand, or distorting a point is something that Hexbear users love to do. That’s why I asked you to not be like them.

            At this point you are being intellectually dishonest and I don’t see how you can moralize with that kind of meta with responding to people. Goodbye.

              You should sweep your own porch first before telling me to sweep mine.

              Bye.

      Of most extremists, Tankies are actually quite active in their reading material… Unfortunately, they don’t read to learn opposing views or even what historically occurred, but instead to bolster themselves in an attempt to appear smarter-than-thou, ‘Look at how many books I’ve read!’ – As if that means anything.

        If it’s anything like the alt right Russian propagandists the reading material only includes easily disproven badly written propaganda and ignoring any piece of history that makes their country of choice look bad and twist anything negative to obscene levels. I don’t believe these people are history buffs nevermind people that fact check their “facts”. The only one up they have on people is that they have an argument ready for the most common attack vectors against their fascism.

            I’ve argued with my fair share of tankies on reddit and you can never win even if you provide all the facts and sources. They will ignore them or say they don’t matter etc… etc…

        /lit/ is mostly clean I had made thread there that were 150 comments deep and no insults or slurs. You can also use 4chanx to filter comments too. Lot of stuff on /g/ is good too especially when it gets technical.

        Isn’t that like saying not all cops are bad, the bad cops are just the ones you always hear about. (In the US)

        For sure, pretty much every individual cop I’ve interacted with has been very reasonable. Doesn’t mean the policing system isn’t rotten to the core when it’s protecting the bad cops.

        Most tankies are not reasonable, no. A few of them have legitimately put forth effort in engaging in this community, but when faced with the reality of Stalin specifically sending queers to gulags, they broke and reverted to their trollish behaviour, later returning to hexbear about their worries so their fellow tankies can feed them a false narrative about gays in gulags.

        They are not reasonable, or else they would’ve already tried engaging here–We have threads dedicated as semi-safespaces for them.

                Yes, LGBTQ folks looking for a safe-space while defederating themselves from LGBTQ safe-spaces and at the same time posting images of a dictator who sent queers into gulags–They’re tankies, dude.

                    You can’t agree to disagree evidence.

                    You don’t know a lot about tankies if you think they’re better than that of Nazis. They still advocate genocide, especially by the Soviet Union and Modern-day China. Throughout this community, there are many examples of such conduct. You should have a look and be mindful of how widespread the hatred is.

                    Every extremist thinks they’re making the world a better place, neo-nazis, jihadists, virulent racists–They all think if everyone thought like them, the world would be a better place. They do not want to make the world a better place for dissidents or activists against authoritarian regimes, in fact, they regularly call for violence against them.

                    You should have a look at some posts around here, specifically about violence and genocide (using the search function), and tell me if any of that sways your mind. Tankies are violent people who want to kill anyone not like them.

                I <3 lgbtq folk but the tankie lie bullshit is crazy. Many of their threads start 'leftists are trying to murder us with their alliance with Ukrainian nazis" and goes down hill from there.
