Ugh these people suck so bad. On average, western leftists are worse than useless. Some bullet points are kinda interesting, even if annoying.

      You are. Take an actual position. Push a specific point from the article, point out your specific problem with “tankies,” etc. If you can’t do that then read the other replies to the post. Try making a specific reply to their critiques of the article.

        I said the article was spot on. I don’t need to pick out points because you don’t intend to discuss it, you’ll just ramp up the dunks until you are screaming and posting weird memes that only you understand. Like a child.

        I read the replies. It’s… pretty spot on.

        Not sure what the problem is, most of you like being like that. You’re not here to promote communism or social equality… this is recreation.

          You clearly just came here to stir shit and get attention from perceived enemies. Nobody here gives a shit what you think not because we are all “tankies” but because you’re a beligerant and willfully ignorant child about it.

          You can’t just say “the article is spot on” and then be surprised when people press you on what you thought was correct and why. You couldn’t even give one single example.

          Also I’ve been here doing anarchist shit for over 4 years and I get along with tankies a lot, we all have valuable knowledge to share.

            Well, when any kind of opinion that doesn’t fit the hive mind results in a ban, it kind of discourages wanting to fit in.

                Did you read it? And yes, I am the same person. The other account got banned, naturally. But I don’t accept authority of any kind and therefore I have thousands of accounts to circumvent all sorts of things.

                  You have thousands of accounts to circumvent bans on niche forums so that you can go and post deliberately vague statements and throw around insults whilst entirely refusing to engage or even state your point of view, but people here are the ones just doing recreation instead of promoting their cause? thinkin-lenin

                  And yes, many of us do come here to shitpost and chat for recreation, including myself. Because we’re functional people who actually do activism and organising in the real world, instead of thinking low-energy trolling is activism, and would prefer to chill on the sofa or on the boss’ time scrolling Hexbear instead of whatever Reddit-brained place has formed your petulant online manner.

                    Well, if you aren’t going to read it then why should I bother explaining my view?

                    Maybe don’t judge an article by its title?

                    I gotta go though, I can’t keep pausing this game or I’ll never get through it lol. Have a good night and set some shit on fire tomorrow.

              Imagine coming to a forum with the intention of breaking rules by starting a flame war and then being surprised you got a ban. Truly, this is the fault of the evil tankies of the six-sided ursine, who are the only people to ever issue bands for rule-breaking behavior.

                I wasn’t surprised. I doubt anyone even read the article. Just live the DuNkS.

                Gotta go though. Peace out comrade.

                  There’s a lengthly point by point deconstruction of it above, but that would require you to actually read the very thing you’re complaining about, ironically enough.

                  YOU ARE THE ONE WHO HAS COME HERE FOR POINTLESS DUNKS YOU DINGUS YOU ARE SAYING NOTHING OF SUBSTANCE, BUT THROWING MEANINGLESS ACCUSATIONS AROUND INSTEAD OF ENGAGING WITH ANYONE

                  Had you engaged with any text at all you would have noticed people are telling you “you’re being weirdly vague and hostile about people dunking on you, despite no such dunks yet occuring. No dunks occured because you have posted nothing of substance, thus there is nothing to dunk on. Please share your opinion so we can have a discussion” and you’ve instead decided to be smug, condescending and hostile, despite never at any point in this thread saying literally anything. Not in a “hahaha your point is so bad it’s like saying nothing” but in the actual literal sense. Nobody here understands what the fuck you’ve tried to argue, because you have put forth 0 arguments. People are pissed because you’re being a dipshit despite several polite invitations to explain what the fuck it is you think you are saying. Somehow you think this is people trying to “force” you to explain yourself - Is this the first time you are experiencing a conversation? Have you never talked to anyone before? Are you an actual toddler, just now learning how to speak? What the fuck is wrong with you?

          But we are discussing it. There are multiple comments going through specific points in the article. If you gave an actual substantive reply to criticism of the article then you would get a substantive reply instead of a dunk.
