Here on World, you and I don't see the Tankie Triad in the main feed, thankfully. But they are here, and they wish you ill.
I've never raged against anybody, and I've never scolded anybody unless they were an advocate for harm unto others. That unfortunately applies to quite a lot of people in political discussions.
Look, let's say I agree with that. I think your take lacks depth, but I'll play along.
Yeah, those tankies suck.
But if you roll up to my house spitting rage and hate, IDGAF if I agree with the underlying principle, you're an asshole, and I'm kicking you out.
The community you were in was just escorting you to the door for being obnoxious. And you were. You still are.
You have the freedom to have your opinion. You can even broadcast it anywhere you want. Once. Nobody has to let you back in the door when you disrupt a community with unrelated venom. It's like some. Mormon coming to your door when you've got it open for a nice breeze and bitching about how much Jehovah's witnesses suck.
YDI. The other comments probably just got swept up in it, it happens, but that first that triggered mod action is def over the line
There's no need to get angry like that, or at least type it out, fight the tankies with logic, reasoning and evidence not a bunch of expletives and slurs
You can say fuck on the internet. You absolutely should call Tankie scum at every opportunity.
Tankies don't use logic, trying to reason with those intolerants is just turtles all the way down. Anybody who wants to foster healthy community on Lemmy should promote open hostility towards Tankies
Yes, but you're not being judged just because you used it but how
You absolutely should call Tankie scum at every opportunity.
No, you shouldn't, "Tankie" by itself targets their ideology and their actions (Pushing misinfo, propaganda etc) by adding "scum" into it or other slurs you shift that target from ideologies and behavior to the actual person. Not cool. For the most part, they're just people being used as tools by the real evil people pulling the strings.
Tankies don't use logic, trying to reason with those intolerants is just turtles all the way down.
That's fine, remember, your arguments are public so aren't just about convincing a tankie, but any potential observers as well
Anybody who wants to foster healthy community on Lemmy should promote open hostility towards Tankies
No. Absolutely not. They can have their community, we should be promoting defederation, boycotting and general awareness.
You know I'm pretty anti-tankie around here, and even I'm saying, chill out open hostility does nothing but anger everyone.
YDI. Maybe stop embodying the idea of 'scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds' for a few days and you might see why your actions even alienate relatively normie communities.
I must make two honest confessions to you, my Christian and Jewish brothers. First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season." Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.

PTB seems like an overreaction on the mods part. Ur not gonna find much sympathy here tho the mods and most users will just irrationally hate you for not agreeing with them politically.
