I've been called a racist, a homophobe (???) and worst of all a liberal and a fascist (same thing apparently /s) all because I insisted that China isn't worth simping for.

What I hate most about tankies is that they are the only true leftists and anybody who disagrees with them is just a poser and a liberal. Especially anarchists.

For clarity, the thread you are talking about was filled with reasonable discussion that you doubled down on ignoring. The biggest thing people took issue with is your insistence on having a negative opinion towards something you in the same breath admitted you lacked real knowledge of how the PRC works. There's a difference between having an opinion based on strong investigation, and one made by vibes, something pointed out repeatedly to you.

If somebody so desperately wants me to support the second most powerful empire in the world the burden of proof is on them, not on me.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

The burden of proof is on the person making claims. The people in that thread nevertheless gave you plenty of proof countering your claims.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

My claim was that tankies exist. Which you're proving true once again.

Go watch CGTN, aka the only "proof" supplied.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I provided much more than CGTN, and that was with respect to legal structures alone. Everyone else provided plenty of evidence as well. You provided very little and doubled down on anti-China myths.

Won't somebody think of the poor nation state empire? :(

The thing I hate about tankies is the same thing I hate about fascists, every other living thing on earth shares a common ancestor with them. I propose we exile them from the evolutionary tree, return them to the dirt they truly are so that they may be of some use to all living creatures.

Tankies essentially have more in common with other fascists than they do other leftists.

I once joined a stalinist discord. 3 weeks later it was a community of trans-Hitlerites who required an ID to join.

Is it 100% accurate to write communism off as fascism hiding under leftist wool? No, not 100% accurate, but it sure saves a hell of a lot of time.

imagine saying shit like " I propose we exile them from the evolutionary tree" and thinking you're anti-fascist

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

But I am an anti fascist, just cause im a bloodthirsty bastard who thinks murder is a borderline panacea doesnt mean I am fascist. Fascism has some very notable ideological elements that do not apply to me. Also when I say want to kill someone unless they are in a position of power I want to beat them physically first so that I may break their beliefs, after all if they stop believing then they arent a fascist now are they.

Just cause you associate bloodthirst and antisocial tendencies with fascists doesnt make it an applicable element to me. Plus I loath authority too much to be an authoritarian, it is traditional amongst my kin to reject even our elders authority.

gee, i'm peeing my pants over here

i called you a fascist because of your borderline eugenicist way of framing it, but you're also a psychopath too apparently so that's fun

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

I was making a darwin award joke, basically just a way of saying I want to commit homicide. Also not psychopathy just a nasty mix of Autism and PTSD.
