    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.

        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.

        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?

            Yeah? And?

            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.

              I’m not convinced I was. I finally saw part of the problem was not defining our terms. I defined mine, and right-wing-authoritarian does not implicitly “fascist” in any stretch, using the term as described by a a altrmyer.
