One of the issues I have with people from lemmy.ml now that I didn't have before is that at least one of them acts like this is some sort of high school football rivalry where if you insult one of us, you insult all of us and therefore come in guns blazing.
But what would I know, I'm just a "liberal" talking about the "mark of the beast."
I'm just returning energy, you talk shit like this is a high school football rivalry, you get it back
No matter how many times you want me to suggest that I was talking about the entirety of your dear country of lemmy.ml, long may she reign, I still wasn't. I was still only talking about a specific group of very terrible people that you are defending because they happen to come from lemmy.ml and lemmy.ml über alles.
I mean there are some groups of absolute wastes of DNA here on lemmy.world. I'll be the first to admit it. I won't get all "HOW DARE YOU!!!" if you said so.
If every 3rd-4th politics thread didn't find time for the 2 minutes hate because of the instance someone picked months ago maybe I would be less annoyed about it.
There's plenty of people who get called tankies" who are fine, and it's just politically illiterate people being melodramatic. People "on the left" can be politically illiterate, and I would say someone putting on the aesthetic of being a leftist while still making room to be chauvinist, misogynistic or transphobic is what I'm more worried about.
Part of why I push back on people trying to paint with a broad brush in is that people to the left of the Democrats aren't a monolith and the way tankie gets thrown around it treats them as such.
It's actually surreal to have people expressing antiwar positions get accused of being 'tankies'. Even the word evokes wanting to 'send in the tanks'- yet these are the people saying "maybe we shouldn't be sending tons of military equipment (ie tanks) to fuel a war.
This is c/news, not c/politics. I do not participate in c/politics specifically due to the group of people on lemmy.world I was talking about.
And, for the millionth time, I wasn't painting with a broad brush. I was talking about a specific group of people. A group of people who I defined.
No matter how much you want to try to gaslight me into saying what I didn't say, it won't work. So stop trying.
I'm sure you didn't mean it that way, but I'm just saying my experience has been that if you express any kind of left position which falls outside of liberal media orthodoxy these days you get called a tankie, hence why I took your usage broadly.
You don't need to accuse me of gaslighting you, just a weird way to have a conversation.
Oh, now I didn't mean it that way. After telling you god knows how many times? Now suddenly I'm innocent of what you've been accusing me of?
Conversation? This has been you attacking and attacking and attacking. For something I didn't even fucking say.
I'm sorry if I've been making you feel attacked, but people use the world broadly so that's how I took your meaning in the original context. I'm not trying to goad you and I'll disengage after this.
