I debated with myself about replying to this comment because of our few messages yesterday/day before.
I decided to chime in because, despite not being terribly fond of you, your point here is very important, and valid.

I had an account on .ml, as I am very left, and everything was fine at first. I eventually got sick of the constant rhetoric of: America bad, which means China and Russia are really good, and we would all be better off living in a M-L utopia like they do there!
And look, I'm not a Xenophobe/Sinophobe/Russophobe, I think that the people of those countries are just people. Sure America bad, but it's a bit fucked up to go from that and recognising that some of what is said about them(China/Russia) is almost certainly propaganda, to the frothing true-believer fanaticism that goes on.
There's a lot of talk at hexbear(when I'd gone to have a look and make my own opinion of them) and some parts of .ml about 2SLGBTQ+ safe space, acceptance and protection. And at the same time through the actions of folk there and the admins/mods it was clear that it was lip service.

I moved on, and then Trump was elected again. All of a sudden you had loads these .ml accounts not only calling people enablers of the bourgeoisie, Sheeple etc, then in the next breath they are Staning Trump. On more than one occasion when I called them out on parroting the GOP lines about things, they would quote Sartre at me and say I was a class traitor.

Was a real "Masks Off" realisation for me.

Again Drag, I am hardly a fan of you, and I'm sure you're aware of that...but you're absolutely right here. Tankies, or at least the ones that are the most vocal, are not allies, are not even tolerant as far as I can see.

Also considering how many times in the last thread you replied to a comment that Ada had made apologising, I'm positive that they know. I feel like this thread is a bit superfluous. And isn't doing you any favours.

Ada is a lemmy.blahaj.zone user, and therefore can't see comments left by people who are banned from lemmy.blahaj.zone. Drag's friend made sure everyone knows.

Again, not personally convinced Newbuild isn't just your alt. I'm not going to argue the point. If I'm wrong I'll let this be an apology.
