Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.
Rules:
- Be civil and no bigotry of any kind.
- No tankies or right-wingers. Liberals are allowed so long as they are aware of this
- 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.

Can you imagine talking with a bank accountant to sign off on that loan?
"So are you looking to invest in a personal buisness or a down payment on a car or maybe invest in an asset? So what is it cm0002? What would this capital be going towards, what plans do you have to properly utilize this investment?
"I want to win a online auction so I possess a domain name of a niche internet fourm populated by mentally unwell politically extreme nutjobs and general morons. From there I may use the domain to redirect its user to a funny picture insulting them, I dunno havent thought that out too hard yet but the tankies will be fucking OWNED by the time in done with their precious domain." "...."

"Okay I guess I can scrape their private information and sell it to the highest bidders, im sure theres a few advertisers and government agencies that wouldn't mind paying to add some names to a list."

"Your interest rate for this 12,000$ loan will be 43% and pray I dont alter the deal further. Sign the line and get out of my face you fucking peasant. Have fun paying this off for a quarter of your lifetime."
The way to do this is to setup a non-profit or some other kind of organization. Call it the Touch Grass Foundation. An organization dedicated to getting intensely online people to go outside and touch grass. From there you can point to a membership paying dues and donations to secure the loan.
Really, this is the way fediverse instances should be setup if they are serious about longevity and community. If hexbear had proper governance, they wouldn't be in this situation. I don't think the paranoid is comfortable with that level of transparency though.
