No. I read it because I was curious as to whether it was a good instance to interact with.
I found out very quickly that it was not.
But you aren't interested in anything except apologia for tankies. I don't know that you're a 'useful idiot', so to speak, but I do know that you're useful for them.
I don't even have anything I'm not subscribed to on my feed, lmao.
Watch the goalposts change now from "ML isn't that bad!" to "Well you can just block it!" and, subsequently, it will become "Well the tankies aren't running your communities so why do you care?"
The accusations change; all that remains is the desire to defend their bootlicking friends.
So you're mad about something you don't interact with?
It looks to me like you're mad about something you disagree with and blocking them isn't enough for you.
"Tankies don't even run your communities, so why are you mad?"
Fucking called it.
That's not even close to what I said.
Frankly, you're just mad that anyone to your left exists and have decided to call them all tankies.
It absolutely is.
"Why are you mad? Just don't interact!" and "Tankies don’t even run your communities, so why are you mad?” differ only in that the latter is more specific about what kind of interaction (I called 'running' while you went for 'presence'), but it's clearly there. But deny even apparent facts and someone will fall for it.
It's hilarious that you think tankies are leftists.
There are many people to my left.
None of them are tankies.
I didn't say tankies were leftists. I said that you call anyone who disagrees with you from your left a tankie.
Which you learned, of course, from the fact that... I posted a meme making fun of tankie support for the CCP?
lmao
No, I learned it because you were saying that people who oppose Netanyahu's genocide are tankies who support the CCP.
Fucking WHAT?
Where the FUCK did I say people who oppose Bibi's genocide are tankies? You're literally talking to someone who has been calling it a genocide since before October 7 and the resulting Israeli offensive.
The meme is "Tankies clearly see one thing, but are completely blind to the same thing elsewhere".
It's the same guy wearing the same hat.
