I mean, wither and die if you’d like. It’s no skin off my nose. But I don’t in any way feel threatened by your “different perspective”. I just think your perspective is dumb as hell. And I’m postulating that you’ve probably got to be a complete moron to hold that perspective.
Also, what is a legit rebuttal to someone who’s so dumb that they think that there’s no place to interface with Tankies? You’re pretty ridiculous.
You’ve made a pretty pathetic case for yourself. To me it looks like you are the one who feels threatened and insecure. I guess it’s hard to know how you look to the rest of us.
Ok? You’re the one who claimed that you were leaving, and yet you keep coming back to get the last word despite the abuse. Shouldn’t the abuse you’re deservedly receiving be some kind of impetus to, you know, actually leave? Or are you just too dumb to take the hint?
Yes, I went and followed another thread, and you all kept showing in my inbox. The other things I did were interesting and I forgot until the rage notifications came in. Like another commenter was asking for a solidly rational answer, so was i. I didn’t even know the term until more recently and I don’t agree with my ideas so great, i need violence, coercion, insults etc to come in. Anyway, my homegirl and mutual friends were all together in between times and this was space filler for downtime/(sometimes) idle contemplation (one need not accept an idea to entertain it). Thanks for the compelling arguments that “convinced” me. I did change my default filter for a minute and see a post in the top ten about subscriptions to whole other instances, so I’ve done that and it’s as rampant as hexbear, unsubscribe. I literally thought it was fascist based on the large, flashing “freedom! Own the libs!” that was so obnoxious, it hurt my eyes and I was confused about the nature of the server. Again, authoritarian communism. Yes, I understand the distaste but Communist philosophy in general isn’t something I’ve been widely exposed to outside a couple of college classes, and I daresay, English lit and soc 101 were probably where I got any exposure at all (maybe also critical reading, thinking, syllogism etc classes). It was definitely… illuminating. And i only got dv’d, cursed and insulted for wanting to see for myself, rather that doing the same, calling anyone stupid, moron, shitlib, fascist etc.
Ok. So let’s go back a few messages in our little private discussion deep in the “show more replies” of this thread, when I said:
Well, then. Maybe you should spend some time on Tankie spaces and learn what they’re about before just assuming that anybody who doesn’t like them is just being a close-minded asshole.
And you replied:
Nah I see how this works. Bye
So… let’s recap. First, you saw a meme you didn’t like because (according to your own words), you didn’t understand it.
I didn’t even know the term until more recently
Then, upon seeing that, you decided to post that you were going to block this sub, as if anybody in here actually gives a shit. When receiving pushback on that, you decided to ignore all of the opportunities to learn the information that you knew you didn’t know, and kept trying to take the moral high ground (which really was just you sticking your fingers in your ear and shouting “lalalalala”.
Now that you’ve received sufficient abuse, you’ve decided to actually educate yourself on what a tankie is by doing the very thing that I suggested several posts ago and visiting tankie spaces, and you’ve decided…
It was definitely… illuminating
Do you see why I called you a moron all of those times, now? Instead of just, you know, making use of the incredible power of the internet to inform yourself on a topic that you knew nothing about, you just decided to blast your stupid, uninformed opinions all over the place, and then get butthurt when you received pushback.
Hopefully, you treat this as a well-needed lesson, and refrain from doing that in the future.
No there’s no reason to call me that. I said i for distracted and it was like a train wreck. You know you shouldn’t look or engage unless you have something to offer without clogging up bw but then you do because whatever reasons (in this case distracted, then amused Ava amazed by what Kelly poppin in my inbox. Does unsubscribing from the sub stop inbox replies to comments? I also said I was busy, yes i know and have a superficial understanding of the term, and how would I know what to search for that wasn’t censored/blocked/bad faith info without asking for a general direction?
Hard disagree. I gave you several valid reasons for calling you that.

What? Can you rephrase that into something that a native English speaker would understand?
yes i know and have a superficial understanding of the term, and how would I know what to search for that wasn’t censored/blocked/bad faith info without asking for a general direction?
There’s this magical thing called a “search engine”. You take a word that you don’t know the meaning of, which in this case apparently is “tankie”, and you type it into the search engine. Here is an example.
Are you completely unfamiliar with how to use the internet? How did you find Lemmy in the first place?
I know that you struggle with understanding extremely basic concepts, like “inform yourself before speaking as if you were informed”, or “search engines allow you to find information”… but do I really need to spell out to you that you are under no obligation to continue talking to someone that you find obnoxious?
I honestly can’t tell if you’re really dumb enough to not know that, or if you’re just so full of blind vanity that you think you’re going to somehow “win” the conversation by continuing it, despite the well warranted abuse you’re receiving along the way.
Not only is it ok to say 'Hey, I was wrong," people will actually give you a lot of credit for being willing to say that. It’s not a sign of weakness; quite the opposite. If you’re never willing to admit to being wrong, you’ll never grow as a person .

I just wanted to chime in to say Penis
Right, right. You don’t “feel threatened,” so you immediately try to kneecap someone to prove how tall you really are. Sure.

You’re obnoxious af
Yeah? And?
