Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.

Rules:

  1. Be civil and no bigotry of any kind.
  2. No tankies or right-wingers. Liberals are allowed so long as they are aware of this
  3. No genocide denial

We allow posts about tankie behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion. For a more general community [email protected] is recommended.

Some people just need a bogeyman and find them wherever they look (or are told to look).

I suspect we’re eventually going to learn that something was fucking with people’s amygdalas during this era. Could just be the propaganda or maybe it’s something chemical.

I think a lot of it is simply the human brain has a lot of limitations and we push past them on a daily limit. Our brains are wonderful things that allow us to do a lot but when it comes down to it we are simply not meant to be able to connect to so many people at one time. I think that past a certain point it just breaks a lot of peoples brains to learn about so many terrible things so the brain defaults to finding one thing to blame the problem on.
