I finally just blocked the entire instance. A lot of those folks aren’t exactly… right.
The hardcore tankies as just as bad as holocaust deniers.
Tankies and fascists have more in common with each other, and feudalists, than they do with workers/socialists. I'm convinced the horseshoe theory is just narcissism presenting across the political spectrum.
Only a fucking narcissist could believe authoritarianism, control, and subjugation are desirable. That's why its delusions of grandeur and megalomania all the way down.
Authoritarians gonna auth. Why particular holy book they wave around, the Bible, das Kapital, mein Kampf or whatever they have in North Korea is merely incidental.
I’d say the equivalent in Nork is probably On the Juche Idea
Tankies are just fashists who are exploiting the glitch that makes the ideology behind the largest mass murders in history more socially acceptable in the west.
Pretty sure most of them are holocaust deniers, just not the Holocaust you're thinking of.
Same. I really wanted to be around other leftists but holy fuck the vast majority of them need serious help.
Wait, is ml supposed to be left leaning? 😂
They leaned so far to the left they ended up doing a headstand
That's kinda the definition of tankies no? Being so pro Soviet/china that you become what you were supposed to hate, an imperialist
Being in favour of authoritarian regimes does not make one a leftist
No, but why do you reply that to my message? Seems wholly irrelevant
Why is online discourse so cancerous. Idiot above me puts words in my mouth and gets upvoted and I got downvoted. I never called them leftists, learn to fucking read.
My first account was on .ml, and it took me about half an hour to get completely jumped by a bunch of Stalinists. Ended up deleting my account, and was hesitant to create a new one.
Thankfully, it seems to be two instances, and I’ve blocked them both. My experience after that has been great.
Three instances. ML, Lemmygrad, and Hexbear
I haven't seen the actual Lemmygrad in my feed in a year, even on this sub.
Lemmygrab gets defederated a lot, your instance admin probably decided they aren't worth it and blocked them entirely.
Sorted in the increasing amount of awfulness I assume
How do you do that? I've reached my limit.
I think it depends on your instance and/or app you're using.
I’m using Arctic for iOS, and it has an option to block an instance.
(Sorry, I’m late responding 🤦🏻♂️)
