"leftists" who hate "tankies" once again showing their true colors
Get a load of this user, supposedly this comm is supposed to be making fun of reactionaries doing the "vuvuzuelaiphone" thing but suspiciously is posting nothing but anti tankie memes, curious 🤔
Edit: to be 100% accurate because I'm not a liberal, it appears that the comm name is misleading and it's just a general meme sub for "leftists", still quite funny that the only memes they're posting are anti tankie memes
Anti-"tankies" barely hide their racism anymore. Most anti-tankies are cowardly neoliberals (I repeat myself) that need bullets in their heads, if they can't be reformed.
Their levels of racism, gaslighting, minimizing, projection, annoyance, false equivalency, and laziness drives my anger to a boil that makes the Planck-Temperature look like fucking ice cream-absolute zero with a douse of liquid nitrogen by comparison.
it is if the stars align.. i had considered myself a liberal for most of my life because i was one.. i hated the system but i never looked beyond it and was blind to reality.
one day that changed.. people i respected shit all over me for something i thought we were definitely all in the same page about. i got all upset and started digging for information to prove them wrong and discovered a whole other mindset out there that aligned far better with what i felt deep down
then i was able to go back and read posts and tweets in a whole new light and everything made so much more sense. and i got even more pissed, but pissed for the right reasons this time. pissed that i had been so blind all my life and never bothered to try to think for myself. pissed that everyone i knew personally was just as blind and now hated when i tried to tell them to also look beyond the programming... because of course that's a tired and played out trope that everyone has heard a hundred times.
i dunno, i think if someone sincerely believes that things are not right with the world they can open their mind given the right opportunity to crack through that seemingly impenetrable wall of self-satisfied ignorance and pride.
Personally I'd want to deal with this kind of people only if they directly interfere with Marxist movement and I wouldn't mind not interacting with them at all. This idealist ideology has very little revelance outside of it's inner circles and I see no reason to care about it, at least for the sake of our mental health. I'm just glad they are not here and don't have the opportunity to posion this community with their infantile hostility towards Marxists-Leninists.
I mean they literally just made the comm, I only found it because I was looking directly on lemmy.ml and I saw “leftism” trending and clicked out of curiosity lol
I haven't looked at the specific example you posted, this is just in general about anti-tankie leftists:
It makes sense to me that anti-authoritarian leftists would be against authoritarianism even if it's left leaning, just like they're also against libertarian right
