Can’t you tankies stay on one instance? I’m getting tired of having to block them.
What’s a tankie?
No
Most of them are only doing it to “trigger the libs” (totally different from the alt-right) and a lot of them are LARPers (totally different from the alt-right), so no they can’t stay on one instance, they need an audience to troll properly.
If they actually just cared about socialism they’d be off circlejerking in their own instances about how capitalists are evil and Stalin was a saint, but again that’s not why the majority of them are doing it, so they will keep adding new instances and posting across to anywhere that hasn’t defederated them, because they want to piss as many people off as possible, and talking shit to “liberals” while being “socialists” is the best way to trigger both (American politics) sides.

This is a dumb take. The internet definitely has more reach and impact across our cities than we as individuals have.
People can do work on the ground and waste their free time on the internet arguing with dumb takes just as people can do fuck all in their area and waste their free time on the internet looking at memes.

If you think the average person cares about or reads academic papers you’re delusional.
Yes just saying communism good or bad probably won’t change hearts and minds but unchecked pro-capitalist and pro-imperialist messages bombarding consumers of social and mainstream media absolutely portrays the status quo as the only acceptable scenario with no alternatives.
If you think anticapitalist memes haven’t radicalised people then you are naive to the effects of propaganda.
I give you jrehwald15 as a good example of this
