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.

You are changing what you said. No one said communities don't have identity. You were talking about building your identity around a community.

The Star Trek community here on Lemmy has an identity. Trekkies as a whole have an identity. I'm a Trekkie. I don't build my identity around it. People seeing me walking around in public wouldn't automatically say, "that guy is a fan of Star Trek." Unless maybe I'm wearing this shirt, which I wear because I base my identity around things that make me laugh.
