    I explained 1. Why painting the Communists and fascists in a similar light serves fascists wishing to trivialize genocide and 2. Why “tankie” doesn’t mean anything except to serve as a pejorative for Marxist.

    The “goalposts” never shifted.

      Honestly the only difference between the quibbling you do with language and those blue maga weirdos on world is that you rep a different politics.

        Again you’re twisting yourself up in a knot to try to fit reality into the neat little prejudice you decided is correct. If it turns out to be wrong, rather than change your view, you try another prejudice to see if that one fits.

          Or maybe ya’ll just mod off the word everyone calls you based on how you think and act online, for me it’s asshole, for you it’s tankies. Ya’ll just hate the label but don’t realize how much everyone has you clocked because of the small, highly censored, walled garden. ML is a tankie zoo.

        Rather than trying to insult me, can you meaningfully explain why you disagree with me? Their comment suggested that Communists are in any way comparible in evil to the fascists that invented industrial mass murder. I then went on to explain how I feel that the word “tankie” is just a pejorative used to dismiss Marxists, rather than getting a genuine response I just got further description of the caricature of a tankie.

          There’s genuinely no point of arguing with you, if someone makes a point you don’t like, you or another tankie is gonna mod it off (tankies love censorship as much as feckless liberals, open mouth conservatives, et all). The best part of you chronically online weirdos like you, or flyingsquid or trickdacy on world, is I always know the second I refresh I’ll get a response. There is nothing better to do for chronically online weirdos than to respond immediately.

          Or mod it off if the point is too salient. Yall have your weird tails of other weirdos following you. Exact same type people, different books.
