I'm getting the impression from Lemmy that there's an overrepresentation of the particular demographic of comfortable middle-aged bookish software engineers who live in the US or Canada.

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.

How many leftists do you have to execute to earn your colors?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

None, just liberals willing to go along to get along with fascists. Which you are.

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.

Tankies don't get death threats from other tankies? I'm shocked!

no but trans people get death threats from "anti-tankies"
