This was from a comment waaaaay down-thread earlier this week, on a post about California Secession (a wedge issue backed by Russia). Thought you’d find it interesting.

Look, a tankie doing tankie things, like frothing at the mouth about attacking people for confusing you with a liberal. Mate, most people could not tell you the difference between an ML Socialist vs a progressive vs liberal. You'd be surprised how many people that ML Socialists have driven off that likely would have been open to their ideas. With ML socialists it's either your as left as I am or you're the enemy to my progress.
It's funny, you can see direct evidence of how much people don't even want to have to deal with socialists/communists just based on how much the fediverse blocks them and defederates from them. Stop being assholes. You want people to like you and join your cause? Stop being arrogant, antisocial, elitist pricks.
absolutely correct. nothing has made me hate socialism more than interacting with MLs.
As usual on lemmy, I’m always the one being harassed for having a political opinion different than the “norm”.
I don’t think I’m arrogant or elitist (not in my wildest dream elitist), maybe a bit antisocial ok.
Yes, I like to defend my positions and opinions, we don’t have to agree. Yes, I like to discuss vividly, I was raised to be vocal and never silent, sue me. I like to hear from all the political spectrum (yes all, assholes included), it doesn’t mean I agree with fascists.
I also understand why other “commie” or socialist don’t want to deal with liberals at all, look at how I’ve been treated here just because I said i have a different political belief. There are communities on lemmy dedicated on hating “tankies”, does it sound right to you? Again, I was raised to be intolerant towards intolerants. A little joke and comment is okay, a community dedicated to it seems excessive, it turns people off.
You started off by saying that you would physically attack someone that leans in the same direction as you because "being called a liberal". Your started this entire thread off in a pretty negative way. Why are you surprised you got pretty negative responses to it?
I wasn't being mean to you because your a socialist, I was being mean because you were being a general asshole much like every other ML socialist I've ever interacted with.
You guys need to remember the Golden Rule. Treat other people the way you want to be treated. You want people to respect you? Then try being nicer and more respectful to others. This isn't complicated.
I also said “kill me now”, I hope you didn’t send a hit man to my house.
It was an exaggeration to show how much a person on the left dislikes being associated with liberals, especially now, from a lefty himself. It was meant to show how untrue the first assumption was.
You can be aggressive and offensive, it’s okay I don’t care (I kinda like it 👀) but at the very least attack the idea not the person.
Dismissing someone for being a “bot” just ends all kinds of discussion, it’s pointless and stupid. It shows you can’t even debate a clanker.
There is a saying.
If you meet a handful of assholes in a day, you met a handful of assholes.
If everyone you encounter is an asshole, then you are the asshole.
So if you are always being harassed for your political opinion, then it is you who is the problem. Not everyone around you.
Go do some introspection. Or just admit you are being paid by the Russian government.
Absolutely not true. You are being called out for literally threatening to use violence against someone with a different opinion.
A bit?!?
Good. Then do it in a civil way.
Absolutely not true. You are being called out for literally threatening to use violence against someone with a different opinion.
This is why we hate on tankies.
Threatening to attack someone for being called a name in error? Don't know why people won't support you.
Oh no, I’m ironically threatening a non existing person in made up scenario 😱😱😱 someone pls stop me!!!
You're not doing anything if the sort. You're probably a kid, so I'll say this kindly.
What your doing, is confusing discourse with being an asshole. That isn't your fault. Some frat bro authority figure in your life that you looked up to acted that way.
But if you've had a point it was long since buried in your toxic responses and facade if bravado.
You will never be taken seriously because you dont value others.
I sincerely hope you have a wonderful day
