Tankies are just MAGA pretending to be communist

      Jesus Christ, you’re not kidding. It’s fascinating but I feel like looking at it may have damaged me in some way.

      Stuff like this is going to happen. The more they keep inciting transphobic hatred, the more likely that a masculine woman is going to be assaulted. It’s not funny because the woman might not even be a TERF and could be completely innocent.

      Abortion and euthanasia are going to lead to autistic people being murdered. Neo progressives already believe that disabled children should be aborted and atheists admit that “life begins some time after birth” meaning they openly support euthanasia up to age five in some cases. A lot of neo progressives think the most humane option for disabled children is abortion or euthanasia at a young age.

      My sister supported abortion before she transitioned and she says that she was a creepy white knight when she supported it.

      I support raising the minimum wage, but there should be an exemption for people living with middle class parents.

      I think they are just trying to pursue viewpoint-inception in a way that deliberately will make everyone in the conversation mad at them, so they can get a high score. I cannot imagine any other explanation.

        most likely a troll.

        i’ve never heard of a tankie denying climate change since they think it puts China in a good light (despite producing the most emissions out of any country)

          I guess there’s the question of whether those on Russian division campaigns could be called “just trolls”, but they aren’t tankies. Tankies have an ideology while the Russian troll farms don’t, other than inflaming anything they possibly can to increase division and get people angry at each other.

          They simultaneously take extreme positions on any debate. Their goal isn’t to convince anyone about their extreme position other than to make readers think they are genuine, so they opposition then thinks what they are up against is more extreme and dangerous, and thus they need to escalate their own position. They want people who care about women’s rights to be at odds with people who care about men’s rights (the obvious one) and also less obvious ones like gay rights, trans rights, racial rights, hell if they can get feminists fighting with vegans, that would be a big win.

          The ultimate goal is to paralyze the culture by making it argue with extreme strawman versions of reasonable positions for every topic it can.
