Most addicted city (over 100k visits total) Eglin Air Force Base, when I see someone going out of their way to be a cop about communists on the Internet it just makes me think you must get paid to be one IRL and just can't shut it off.

... do you really think that the US Air Force is worried about communists on the internet? lmao

I guess it wouldn't be tankieism without a good persecution fetish, lol. Just like the fundies.

Ah, yea no. I have no problems with the idea of communism and like socialism.

However, the "communism" you and your fellow tankies love to spread, is authoritarianism/dictatorship with a communism mask like the CCP or Russia. Along with racism, bigotry and transphobia sprinkled in.

Bold words, but I run into way more bigotry and racism while/after posting on .world vs posting in .ml spaces.

Nutomic is a shithead for failing to address his transphobia, if he ever posts in /c/transgender I'll ban him myself.

Russia is not pretending to be communist, wtf are you on? do you mean USSR? if anything I've run into way more cutting critiques of existing/historical socialist states among actual communists in these spaces as opposed to carnival barkers with a tenuous grasp on history.

The racism allegations also kind of sound like projection in this context considering on of the main controversies I've seen about bans here are for banning people being weirdly racist and choosing to die on the hill of depicting the president of China as a yellow cartoon animal.
