    Love how you call me terminally online while your argument for why i am a facist because of some random Haz fan. Also History is irrelevant now?

    “Sure Liberals have supported facists everytime but have you considerd Haz”

    “Tankies” fought alongside every anti colonial moments from Angola to Vietnam.

    While Liberals were to busy supporting far right shitholes like Chile Isreal South Vietnam South Korea

      I don’t know if you’re a fascist, I’m currently not interested enough to go checking.

      how you call me terminally online

      Because you’re on Lemmy defending legacy of a pejorative identifier when confronted with the fact that the modern online tankie community has produced a number of fascist-aligned notable persons over the last years, and keeps spreading and regurgitating fascist propaganda because of the common alignment against the West.

      The history is important. In this conversation, history is irrelevant. Stop making it about your honor

          “Please stop pointing out we’re friends with fascists, it hurts our feefees. Don’t you know that muh history means I’m very cool and honorable despite being an internet warrior”.

          You’re one step removed from a nationalist. Except you’re feeding your insecurity with a different flavour of a myth.

              You’re not beating the allegations, you’re treating this the same way a nationalist would. If you don’t see the irrelevance of historical anecdotes here, well, I guess that explains why you’re a tankie.

                  Haz, Maupin, Dore and all their sphere are fascist. One guy literally went through being an “anti-imperialist” tankie to going to Tucker Carlson and talking about how wokeness is destroying West or something. Even in comments here I see tankies gladly buying and spreading Russian bullshit about Ukrainians being Nazis. Or how when I recently mentioned Russia making genocidal policies against trans people, a lot of people from a tankie sub began whataboutisming me about that. The fact that you totally ignored my larger point (tankie community producing fascists), which you apparently know about and “dunk all the time” on. The fact that you tried to deflect from that by bringing up 50-years-old historical anecdotes which are irrelevant to this particular context. It’s in the same vein as when Israel tries to deflect from accusation of fascism and apartheid by bringing up antisemitism and Holocaust. Of course, what Israel does is much worse than being a breeding ground for online fascists, but the mechanism of deflection here is similar. Don’t try to strawman me on this. No matter which honorable or victimized identity you use, this remains a deflection.
