I have noticed this as well and I am genuinely suprised. I wonder why?
My guess would be a higher presence of communists means they had to pick a side. Once picked they had to keep defending it radicalizing them further and further.
Reddit libs probably can’t spot a “tankie” as well as a lebens.raum user
So, they says they want change but, when presented with the possibility of supporting communism, they instead decide to become fascist to support the status quo.
Historically checks out.
Yeah they’ve been inoculated against the red virus through constant propaganda.
You don’t think Stalin was a monster on par with Hitler? Yeah friend I know your type having “nuanced” takes on guys like Hitler, gtfo Tankie.
Everything you say will be filtered out by “this person excuses a mass murderer on par with Hitler!”
And if it’s not Stalin there is some other thought terminating assumption taken for granted that you run up against. I mean what broke me out was people being friendly to me even though I had “christian” in my name. All my life people had pointed to the “persecution” of the church in the GDR as an example of what communists would do to me and my family. So I said “Hi” to the rabid redfash tankies on hexbear with this username on my lemm.ee account to troll them really and they were nice?? These people praise guys like Stalin who probably would’ve shot me himself why aren’t they all jumping me like I’ve seen them do around the fediverse
So I read around a bit and found a really nuanced good take on religion, a debunking of what Marx meant by “Opium for the masses” and suddenly everything I thought I knew had to be called into question.edited out me defaulting to man sry about that
Thanks for sharing your experience with it. It’s insightful to read.
I wonder what’s been going on in the 𝕏itter liberal pundit cinematic universe the last couple of days. I bet they’re all still on Musk’s fascist platform, the same Musk who bankrolled Trump’s victory. Fucking idiots.
There’s been quite a lot of fingerpointing, from what I could tell, from the parts of twitter I’m tapped into. A lot of people doing the voter blame game and then the occasional person with any sense trying to explain how absurd it is to be blaming voters for a process that is, well to use your terminology, bankrolled by billionaires.
