Feel like that hasn't happened in a while.
I miss them 
this has become an ecco chamber:
my favorite thing about us interacting with liberals here is how they can't handle us talking normally. Just our normal communication style, casual chatting, is interpreted by them as wildly offensive and rude. And that's no matter what we're saying or how good faith we're communicating. It felt like even when I was trying to talk normally to libs here or federated I'd have to water down everything I said, or I'd get asked to denounce Stalin or the DPRK no matter what the topic was.
Or maybe that's just their defense mechanism? Like a squid spraying ink. When they don't have anything concrete to say they instantly complain about manners?
I'm new here and I couldn't even tell there were problems with how you guys communicate.
Usually the bad experiences people bring up are ones they instigate.
9/10 boils down to someone trying to be a debate pervert like ben Shapiro or trying to troll everyone.
Like no shit it's a bad experience when you come in hostile from the start.

I believe it's really all they know. it's how they've been trained by MSM to think and speak. It's how they argue with conservatives, who have been similarly trained. When they are confronted with a different pattern they discover they have no other method in their arsenal and are compelled to switch to ego-defense.

Question for tankies: when you're picking out your ideology, why don't you simply choose the lib-left part of the political compass instead of auth-left?
I tried but some of the questions on the survey were very trickily worded.
haven't you tankies learned that the auth-left is a trick? It's a bunch of fascists tricking you into thinking it's communism, but then they make a government that just does state capitalism, which is worse than normal capitalism. You're being fooled into believing you're far left, but actually, you're just the moderate wing of fascism.
Why can't you be more like social democrats, like Sweden or Denmark? Those ideologies aren't tricks by the capitalist elites to make you think you're further left than you actually are. Social democrats are the true far left, not fascists like you tankies. The social democrats are legitimate and that's why no social democratic country operates on imperialism.

TRUE CENTRISM HAS NEVER BEEN IMPLEMENTED!
EVERYTHING HAS ALWAYS BEEN OFF CENTER ON THE POLITICAL COMPASS!
Once we have true centrism, both those who want healthcare ands housing for all, and those who want extermination of lesser skull shapes will be equally unhappy as they will be getting a fraction of what they want.
THAT IS WHEN TRUE CENTRISM WILL BE REACHED AND HISTORY WILL TRULY END.

"The Soviets were just as bad as the Nazis, who weren't actually that bad."
The Soviets were just as bad as the Nazis (complimentary to the Soviets)

Mom said it's my turn to be the leader of the proletariat
You are correct except that I am the only real leftist.

You should spell it tinyman square
That would've gotten results tho.
Damn that would have been better
What if i compared the worst times in socialist countries with the best times in capitalist ones? That would probably make you cry
What about that one time people starved in the USSR? What about that one time China did violence on protesters? Bet you didn't know about that.
What if I bring up awful shit capitalism did like... yesterday.
that's a what-about-ism, tankie
Which is rich because any mild critic of democrats defaults libs to whatabout orange man
raising awareness of trump's blatant hypocrisy, incivility, incompetence, and disregard for the institutions of government is hardly the same as deflecting criticisms of communism by pointing out the relentless violence committed in the interests of capitalism. i find you guilty of one (1) false equivalence. smh.
Especially with Gaza.
Biden should stop the genocide - - 2023 yeah but trump would be worse
