      I love it when they burst into a rant about how easily offended others are when you call them out on ‘banning’ (blocking) a sub for having a meme they didn’t like, lmao.

        It’s even more hilarious 'cause I got banned from one of the tankie subs for asking the idiot I was arguing with if he got dropped on his head as a baby. They flagged that as “ableism” and kicked me out. LOL. Hypocritical, crybaby bitches.

                I mean, they banned you for having a funny username, and they banned me for asking if someone was dropped on their head as a baby. They’re crybaby bitches.

                As for sources, I’m assuming most of that was posted after I was banned and could no longer reply. The only one I remember ignoring completely was one dummy who posted some hour long justification piece by Lukashenko, and like… I’m not about to waste my time listening to a dictator talking shop.

                As for my penchant for insulting people… yeah. I don’t suffer fools gladly. It’s just not in me. So I amuse myself by telling them precisely what I think of them without couching the language.

                    You can’t claim not to suffer fools when the power not to suffer them doesn’t lie with you.

                    I think you’re confused about the meaning of “suffering fools”. You can suffer fools by being polite to them, or refuse to suffer them by being real with them.

                    Here is Merriam Webster’s definition of this incredibly common colloquialism.

                    Now, as a practical example, me sharing that definition with you is being polite to a moron (i.e suffering a fool). You had every opportunity to look it up before spouting off, but you didn’t. You just chose to show your ignorance instead. When I say that I don’t suffer fools gladly, I’m not making up my own definition as you seem to suggest; I’m using the widely understood one.

                    The way to exercise your power to not suffer fools in that situation would have been to stop posting or stop insulting people, not keep going and get banned.

                    Why do I give a shit about being banned from a sub filled with morons? They’re obviously free to ban anybody they’d like, for any stupid reason they’d like. For example, they banned you for having the handle “gayhitler420”, and they banned me for asking politely if someone suffered brain injury as a child. Both of which are, in my opinion at least, incredibly snowflakey reasons to ban someone. If being banned by a group of shiteating howler monkeys is the price to pay for telling them that they are morons, well, I pay it gladly.

      I knew that would be twisted but left it. I’ll be more precise: authoritarianism is authoritarianism, but I don’t know enough about their other perspectives to say they’re no good. Perhaps an exchange of ideas may bring two or more perspectives closer. Maybe not.

        Well, then. Maybe you should spend some time on Tankie spaces and learn what they’re about before just assuming that anybody who doesn’t like them is just being a close-minded asshole.

            Why are you still here? Didn’t you announce that you were blocking this sub like 4 posts ago? Get out!

              Because i see how this works. You’re not better than them, you’re doing the same thing they complain about, and so far, that’s what authoritarians do. I forget a lot about tankie things that I don’t understand, because they’re usually banned, shouted down, etc. You keep showing your insecurity in my inbox, have the last word and feel smug. You’re so sure about your ideas, you can’t tolerate me entertaining otherwise. Maybe I’d come to the same conclusion for myself if I can’t let that happen because it’s not possible to hear from them. I used to defend freedom of speech for Nazis too, but I learned. I also learned about psyops of everyone from cliques to governments, including inflation and band wagon.

                I’m sorry; did you just compare some asshole shitposting online with an authoritarian? Are you actually stupid? Do you just not know what authoritarianism is?

                Maybe I’d come to the same conclusion for myself if I can’t let that happen because it’s not possible to hear from them

                Yeah. I think you might legitimately be stupid. You know you can go check out any Tankie spaces on Hexbear or Lemmy.ml any time you want, right? Like, a couple instances defederating from them doesn’t in any way silence them. They’re still free to post their garbage opinions on their own instances.

                I used to defend freedom of speech for Nazis too

                Ok, yup. You’re legitimately stupid.

                Why are you still here, again?

                  Ow oooh owwww I’m going to wither and die because someone on the internet felt threatened by a different perspective and rather than have legit rebuttal attacked like they accuse tankies of doing.

                    I mean, wither and die if you’d like. It’s no skin off my nose. But I don’t in any way feel threatened by your “different perspective”. I just think your perspective is dumb as hell. And I’m postulating that you’ve probably got to be a complete moron to hold that perspective.

                    Also, what is a legit rebuttal to someone who’s so dumb that they think that there’s no place to interface with Tankies? You’re pretty ridiculous.
