On the other hand there's also an overrepresentation of tankies. I don't think those are the same people.
"Tankie" is to liberals as "woke" is to conservative liberals and fascists.
What word would you prefer to someone who tells you to your face that they intend to "put you up against the wall" and then asks if you "know what that means, you fucking lib"?
I mean, I'm a demsoc, and of the last 20 death threats I have received in my life, 15 came from people who identify as Communist-Leninist. PLEASE give me a better word for them.
Funny because of the dozens, if not hundreds, of death threats I've gotten, practically all of them come from zionists, NAFOs, keyboard nazis or the occasional trumpeteer.
Oh yeah!? Well I've received thousands, no, millions of death threats!
Who are you people?
Full disclosure, as a leftist I avoid those far-right areas like the plague. I'm quite certain I would receive more far-right death threats if I did not.
so you admit that you get mostly leftist death threats because you avoid groups that would send more?
Communist
You don't know the difference between a demsoc and a socdem. You're not any kind of socialist, just a lib who likes the idea of being seen as leftist.
Death threats are an inappropriate and disproportiate response but have you considered that it is because you're more irritating to the left than you are to the right? Especially given how right wingers historically are massively more violent?
Are the tankies in the room with us right now sweetie?
Hell yeah we are
Oh fuck off lol. The biggest instance literally preemptively removedd from everyone left of Bernie Sanders. Go back to reddit if you're afraid of getting called out for being politically illiterate.
I'm guessing your autocorrect didn't like the word "defederated" and turned it into a word that's a slur if you don't include the 'd' at the end? lol
also I agree with your comment.
edit- Who wouldn't want to be called an outfox?
Lol yeah I was on my way back from my lunch break when I typed that no clue what it autocorrected too
there's no such thing as a tankie, the word literally has no meaning
Death to America
Did you mean communists? Common westerner mistake
"Everyone to the left of me isn't being actively purged from the platform and it's not to my tastes"
Fucking leave then
What's a tankie?
Someone who supports the rights of those in the global south
Hell yea
Lmao
Frankly i don't think there's nearly enough tankies to offset the neolibs but i have a feeling I'm in the minority. Eh! Fun times we're in
