The comments are what you expect. All agree that we’re psychopaths who support genocide and just want authority as a goal in itself. All agree we do no leftist praxis, I guess just based on vibes. One user wrote:

let’s be honest, they should be removed from society

which is cool. One-on-one, online or in person, I’m pretty patient with people like this, but when I see a whole thread like this with hundreds of upvotes and no pushback it makes me feel tired.

      they “should be physically removed” 🚁

      That’s a dog whistle towards Pinochet, right?

      Anti-communists once again proving they’ll side with fascists without a second’s hesitation.

        It isn’t meaningless, in the same way “woke” isn’t meaningless. It is purely reactionary. A primal visceral hatred of change, of a shift in status (particularly their own), of anything that might - even superficially - undermine their own sense of supremacy.

        Woke is the sentiment that causes people to reject the modern state of affairs.

        Tankies are the agents of change, coming to plow up their fields of strange fruit.

      Same kind of fascism I’d expect to lurk in 3-no’s queers. Then they wonder why I advocate for the total disfellowshipping of these consumer-queers-- if they wanna lay down with nazis, klansmen, and state dept. agents, let 'em. I won’t be the one deworming and flea bathing them after their masters are done beating them like government mules.

              There were so many a few years back that it was genuinely easier to stop expecting anything but micro- if not macro-aggressions out of white queers and refactor my “who I talk to” accordingly. Couldn’t tell you the landscape now– it was bad enough years ago that I just threw the shit out and started moving by introduction based on folk my homies have vetted.

        Yeah, I got suspended from the original sub ages ago bcs I got into a heated argument at someone in the replies to an “upvote to scare the tankies” meme that was just a picture of Syngman Rhee and then banned at a later date over getting angry at someone for saying that the US should go back into Afghanistan to liberate them from the Taliban.

        I also got banned from the blahaj version recently for saying something along the lines of “ngl, it’s sus af that you’re accusing someone of being a tankie for posting an anti-fascist, anti US government meme” in reply to a comment that said “kick tankies out of 196” in the comments to that meme about the US hiring Nazi officials
