I’ve eaten boiled eggs that were definitely fertilised. The beak is the worst part. Or the feathers. Actually, all of it is the worst part. Not a fan.

With a large enough group it becomes likely for the average user to already see the comment they thought of. It becomes fairly pointless and might feel cringe to repeat the same thing even if phrased differently. So you just add your upvote to the pile and move on.
The post’s title only has posters and lurkers as categories.
I’ve seen some comments that the webapp format is the cause, and one against that assessment. Doesn’t really matter to me what the cause is.
Cool. It’s still an unpleasant user experience.
Since you capitalised National Socialists like a proper noun I’ll assume you are referring to Nazis. The answer to that is yes, Nazis were not socialists. Socialists were among the first groups targeted by the Nazis after attaining majority power.
A bit like how communists were oppressed in the USSR, or how democrats are oppressed in North Korea.
The U.S. was more than happy to conflate Marxist-Leninists(tankies) with communists because it made communists look bad. Tankies are all in on continuing to conflate their own ideology with communism because they understand that being proud of right wing extremist ideology is a bad look.
The thing about tankies is that they idolise China and the USSR explicitly. That’s what earned the term tankies. They like to call their selves communists/leftists, but it’s a blatantly right wing authoritarian ideology.
I just don’t like how it freezes as a limitation of being a webapp.
I wouldn’t be crediting them with enacting good policy if it wasn’t progressive.
If you can show an example of opposing progress that is good I’m all in on that conservative policy.
The ESA was not good because it maintained the status quo. It was good because it was progressive. The fact that it was implemented during a conservative presidency is irrelevant.
If you think that right wing authoritarianism is communism, I’ve got a democratic republic to sell. The only way tankie logic is consistent is if you believe that Nazis were socialists and North Korea is democratic. But somehow those are not true yet the USSR was communist? You gotta stop gulping down the imperialist propaganda. I could forgive someone for believing it during the Red Scare, but these days there’s no excuse.
Tankie apologetics are a farce.
