it's so fucking true
Anytime they pull you into an argument, suddenly 5 more show up to try and overwhelm you. There's no way it isn't a deliberate tactic.
The three notifications in my inbox before this one were .mls misreading my comment.
That is a tactic they learned from real life tanks. Argue with one tank, more tanks show up.
Tanks are pack hunters, after all.
I think they can’t stand talking to each other unless it’s circle-jerking over how much "theory" they've read. So, they love getting a chance to scream at an outsider.
>talk to each other
"These tankies are caught up in an echo chamber, they never expose themselves to outside ideas or engage with criticism!"
>talk to other people
"These tankies can't stand talking to each other and just want to scream at outsiders!"
Can't win.
The arrogance of these people passing around their homework as gospel.
Plot twist. All 5 are the same guy using multiple alt accounts.
That was Hexbear's modus operandi when they federated with other instances to "dunk" on people. Seeing as many HB users have .ml accounts to bypass defederation, it's no surprise they keep up that behaviour on .ml. I've seen numerous threads where the vote count suddenly plummets right when a bunch of tankies show up at once to yell at whoever they consider a shitlib. Which is everyone who isn't authoritarian.
The answer is not to get dragged into convesrations with idiots. We used to call it "not feeding the trolls" and it's something of a lost art.
