    You haven’t run across a post screaming about tankies or a strawman of leftists supposedly supporting authoritarian governments? Jesus must be your roommate under that rock in which you live.

      Amazing. You have convinced me that all those things were done by the CIA and that I am uninformed and quite foolish. How astonishing. You are very clever and special.

        I’m not trying to convince you of anything. Whether they’re actually on CIA’s payroll or just drooling morons doing it for free, the fact remains that there are many accounts dedicated to shrieking about supposed leftists defending authoritarian governments and they were already commenting on this post which is why I decided to make my own post. If you can’t see that then you have selective vision because the posts are right here. Either way, it’s bizarre that you’d take it so personally when I wasn’t even directing my post at you.

          You have over 150 million Americans voting and dying for an orange conman and preferring him over Jesus fucking Christ, but you think people who say leftists are evil must be on the CIA’s payroll? You clearly must be on George Soros’ payroll, then /s

            What the hell does any of that have to do with anything I’ve posted?

              Occam’s Razor? People are just that stupid? Do you seriously think the CIA would go out of its way to command a botnet of redneck-sounding imbeciles on lemmy, when they got half the American people parroting this bullshit through DECADES of their own misinformation?

                The CIA has done dumber shit. Why do you think Americans parrot this bullshit? To parrot, one must hear it from somewhere. Regardless, I’ve already explained in another reply that the CIA part is a joke. The more important part is the witch hunting of tankie strawmen that I’ve seen on here but apparently people like you feel the need to rush to the defense of the CIA for some reason.

                  I’m Honduran, so the CIA can eat a pile of dicks for what they’ve done to my country and the whole of Latin America, but rushing to those kinds of “jokes” puts you on par with the right wingers who blame everything on Soros and the cabal of news. some reason is just being annoyed at stupid comments.

                    Fair. It does still seem odd the many users rushing to talk about tankies when I’ve yet to actually see one.

      CIA loves tankies. Once they’ve (the tankie reactionaries) destroyed a revolution and installed a corrupt kleptocracy in the orifice of it’s bloating corpse, the conditions are perfect for either restoration of the old - or for a supposedly people’s regime to exploit workers as bad as before.

      Tankies are counter revolutionary reactionaries. GTFO.

        Oh, so you’re one of the idiots shrieking about tankies? Funny how many of you are eager to make my post about you. You should try joining the CIA so you can actually get paid for it.

        Your head must be up your ass to not have seen all the posts talking about tankies and the concerted upvoting and downvoting efforts that take place. I’m joking about the CIA, but there is certainly a push to witch hunt a strawman, likely to shape communities to the liking of those users brigading. Might just be reddit clowns wanting to make it like their previous home.
