Again you're twisting yourself up in a knot to try to fit reality into the neat little prejudice you decided is correct. If it turns out to be wrong, rather than change your view, you try another prejudice to see if that one fits.

Or maybe ya'll just mod off the word everyone calls you based on how you think and act online, for me it's asshole, for you it's tankies. Ya'll just hate the label but don't realize how much everyone has you clocked because of the small, highly censored, walled garden. ML is a tankie zoo.

Yes, it's Lemmy.ml that is the walled garden despite being more broadly federated than Lemmy.world, who intentionally defederated from the explicitly Marxist instances.

Yes, world blue magas weirdos are just as closed off and strange as ya'll, that's true!

In what way are leftists more closed off?

[–] AWistfulNihilist@lemmy.world 1 points 4 minutes ago (1 children)

They censor by closing off, ya'll censor with aggressive modding of dissenting opinions, ya'll are both the same. I'm surprised both instances don't get along more.

How is being more broadly federated "closing off?" What are you talking about?

Rather than trying to insult me, can you meaningfully explain why you disagree with me? Their comment suggested that Communists are in any way comparible in evil to the fascists that invented industrial mass murder, to the point that they wouldn't side with them against the fascists. I then went on to explain how I feel that the word "tankie" is just a pejorative used to dismiss Marxists, rather than getting a genuine response I just got further description of the caricature of a tankie.
