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.
Hindsight is 20/20 but I don’t think there is ever a good reason to ban anti-tankie sentiments.
Sure there is. Wherein anti-tankies overlap with fascists.
You don’t drive out red fash by inviting in the regular variety. “There was an old woman who swallowed a fly” energy.
Citation?
Thing is, Tankies end up promoting the Far Right. So that’s not really a good argument.
Tankies claim Marxism but from their actions consequentially promote none of its ideals.
To oppose Tankies is truly Left and anti-authoritarian.
But not all opponents of tankies are left OR anti-authoritarian. Like, you know, far-right antisemites. Thus, far-right antisemites and the like express anti-tankie sentiments which, nonetheless, should be removed.
Is this really that hard?
I feel like far-right antisemites side with Tankies more often than not. Just look at Donald Trump swoon over Xi Jinping like he wants that D.
Okay? That’s besides the point being discussed? You opined that there was no reason to ever remove anti-tankie shite. I provided a very good fucking reason for anyone who doesn’t want to share spaces with fascists after getting rid of red fash.
I feel like it is exactly the point being discussed. It’s the crux of this issue, if Tankies are opposed by the far right, by racists, and by christofascists.
