Everyone Who Disagrees With Me is a Tankie and all your other favorite hits on Now That’s What I Call Bullshit 5! Get it today!

I didn't call you a tankie, I accused you of having a hypocritical position with regards to Palestinian and Ukrainian genocide.

Yeah, na try again buddy. I’m pro Ukraine, pro Palestine, anti authoritarian. But I’m much more concerned with the guy actively throwing people into an El Salvadoran gulag than the possibility of one down the line.

Me: "Tankies have had influence on modern European politics the past three years in supporting Russian imperialism and genocide."

You: "Why don't you focus on REAL threats!?"

Ukraine is under attack right now. Palestine is under attack right now.

Criticizing tankies is like criticizing Zionists.

Would you throw a fit over someone who criticized Zionists online, because "There are bigger threats!!!"?

Ah, yes, obviously I am throwing a fit in this case, not the person posting about something then attacking anyone in the comments who has a dissenting opinion. Took a brief perusal of your 10k posts (Jesus fuckin Christ dude) and gee, big surprise: whole lot of anti tankie circle jerking sprinkled in with some classic neoliberalism and so far, pretty silent on nazis. Weird.

Some people have never forgiven communists for the fall of Berlin.

Lord.

Neoliberalism is when you oppose genocide, apparently. And being silent on Nazis is when you run an anti-fascist meme comm and regularly post anti-Nazi and anti-capitalist memes on Political Memes. And regularly post anti-Nazi memes on History Memes.

I ask again, since you conveniently avoided answering, most likely because you realize full well this sinks the reasoning for your entire tantrum:

Would you throw a fit over someone who criticized Zionists online, because “There are bigger threats!!!”?

Here, I'll even help you out, since it seems to be slow going getting this through your skull. What would you think of someone who posted this comment on a pic criticizing Israel:

I’ll worry about dumb ass Zionists when they present even a 10% credible threat, till then who cares. Nazis in the bedroom and worried about Zionists at the door???

Keep projecting with your "tantrum" stuff lmfao I posted a one-off comment, you're the terminally online one writing essays for each comment here.

Again, I'm pointing out that you're spending a whole lot of energy on China (no one brought up Russia/Ukraine till you did), who, little reminder: DOES NOT SHARE OUR INTERNET. That one is in caps in the hope of getting through your skull. Like, who are you attempting to reach outside of your little circle jerk? But, yeah, keep up the good fight, I'm sure it's really helpful.

Christ. How many sentences in an essay, again? And how many sentences in your responses, for comparison?

Thanks for acknowledging that your previous "You're AWFULLY SILENT about NAZIS" shit was not only uninformed, but a monumentally stupid way of showing your ass in public.

Like, who are you attempting to reach outside of your little circle jerk?

The comm is called tankiejerk, genius. You came here, not the other way around. Apparently because you have a self-humiliation fetish.

Still waiting on a response to this, by the way:

Dawg I'm not wasting my time replying to each "point" you try to make with your bullshit strawmen lol. At least if I'm railing against zionists it's in a space that someone affected could even possibly see it - literally the only point that matters.

Keep your useless little community here, I'm out: I'll stick to praxis and local organizing, you stick to posting anti-CCP memes where no one under the regime could ever see them.

Funny, because you seemed perfectly content "wasting [your] time" until you were called out on a point that you couldn't refute - namely, that your own logic, as applied here to asspat and play apologist for fascists (curious how often that occurs), would make it verboten to criticize Israel for its ongoing genocide.

Cool, you keep telling genocide supporters that it's okay to support genocide as long as they support it somewhere where the citizens of the PRC can't see it. You can discuss your favorite flavor of boot polish with them while you're at it.
