I’m guessing they did this because my comment didn’t have the correct positive vibes for them on their post when they’re the moderator.
It’s funny because 196 and almost all of its derivatives are rightfully anti-tankie because tankies promote centrism and conservatism directly harmful to trans and gay rights.
It’s from r/196 on reddit. Short version is “cultural marxism” is the new term for “cultural bolshevism” (dogwhistle for jews in WWII era) and 196 stole it to use ironically for “this is what the left wants” style shitposts.
Ty I appreciate being informed like this.
This is another problem with all these ironic postings. They end up being repeated by people who don’t understand them, and then we get into these situations. I really dislike when people use fashy dogwhistles like “degenerate” and “cultural marxism” ironically.
Agreed, it also makes things very problematic when people come in and start using them unironically as well. Really unless people are going to reclaim dogwhistles or otherwise harmful terms, they just shouldn’t be using them at all.
this helped me understand thank you
