Banned for being: Too White, opposing Russian imperialism, using the word ‘authoritarian’, not praising the CCP, saying war criminals should be punished regardless of nation.

Capital offenses in tankieville, it would seem.

    Slowly they will fade away. There are a lot of alternatives that are much more friendly and not, you know, tankie.

    Well actually, here’s 27 links to sketchy sources and propaganda. No I won’t make any actual argument

      And if you don’t read every bit of those 27 links and make a detailed response to each and every point they make, then I’ll smugly dismiss everything you say regardless of its validity because clearly you’re not here for REAL discussion. Oh, and throw in a few personal attacks and/or memes for good measure.

    Just got banned and finally decided to block this community. They clearly don’t want to believe their precious Russian shock troopers can commit war crimes and are disgusted when the Ukrainians do it back to them.

      It took me about a month to ban ml and hexbear.

      I was able, as an anarchist, to joke along with their memes, up to the point I mentioned Taiwanese elections.

      Whooo boy, big mistake.

      Like yes, capitalism bad, but China also bad? List a bunch of reasons why. Nope, those are all insane propoganda, despite me personally knowing people who’ve fairly recently fled Hong Kong, and its not because theyre fucking Kulaks or something, they are working class.

      Much like QAnoners, they live in an alternate reality bubble, which can be fairly easily shown to them and then they just pull a bunch of absolute bullshit out of their asses, dubious claims with no sources which often strain basic logic given an even cursory knowledge of world or regional history.

    So this is how I find out I was banned for “anticommunist rhetoric”.

    I will wear this as a badge of honour.

      If you have, I’m sure they all hide their real opinions on North Korea with casual acquaintances. Similar to how racists will disguise themselves until they know they’re with a fellow delusional brainlet. Online they don’t have to hide anything, there are no social consequences for justifying North Korea’s horrific human rights abuses.

    If only there were a word for countries or other power structures that halfheartedly look for reasons to throw people who say things they don’t like in jail

    This is a sad but hilarious read at the same time. Ml just digging their own grave to irrelevance. Also, what banning argument is “horseshoe theory”. They say it like its a completely invalid disgusting thing. They might just not wanna be associated with the right but the autocratic tendencies are the same!
