The DM was a DM asking us to change our no tankies policy and remove the fuck tankies banner as it was apparently upsetting hexbear users. Apparently tankies view the word tankie as a form of slur. The admin wants us to ally as a form of “left solidarity”
Now personally I think we have the word takie pretty well defined in our rules and have no intention of changing it. Fuck tankies, they don’t belong here.
I didn’t write fuck commies, or fuck [ originally I said libtards here because I couldn’t think of another shorthand insult for generally liberal people. People have since asked me to remove the word, as even though I am using it as an example and not as a slur, it still has the suffix of an ableist slur. I understand, and as you can see have edited the comment accordingly], (I am a vocal socialist and very far left) or anything like that, the banner is specifically about pro-auth dictator-worshipping tankies.Being called a liberal is insulting enough. Most liberals will identify as progressives.
I think all instances should block the tankies treat them the same as you would alt right because really there no different they both support facist ideologies
you’re right, the people who built auschwitz and the people who liberated it are exactly the same.
a fine example of horseshoe theory
Stalin killed jews as well stop acting like Stalin is some champion of the people he’s just as much a monster as Hitler
