excited to engage with a more thoughtful leftist internet space

considering it was a bunch of reddit exiles who were upset about heavy handed Reddit censorship

Lmfao. What's leftism to you?

[–] GrammarPolice@lemmy.world -4 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Tankies are lefties alright. Just braindead ones

[–] pineapple@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

What do you consider a non braindead leftist?

[–] GrammarPolice@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

As long as you avoid campism and are ready to criticize the USSR and Maoist China for what they did wrong you're not braindead

[–] pineapple@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Reasonable. Although it seams at this point tankie is just a blanket derocatory term to anyone who supports communism. I was a bit concerned that you were calling all communists braindead, although its good that you aren't.

[–] GrammarPolice@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Nah nah. I'm not that braindead 😅

[–] Socialism_Everyday@reddthat.com -5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Braindead is when you deviate one millimeter from western capitalist state propaganda

[–] GrammarPolice@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You can deviate without lapping up Kremlin propaganda

Five communists got enjailed in Ufa last week for reading Lenin. Being pro-USSR and anti-USA+EU doesnt equate with being pro-Russian Republic

[–] GrammarPolice@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (2 children)

You were defending the Russian republic just two days ago need i remind you

[–] Aljernon@lemmy.today 1 points 21 hours ago

I see him defending modern day Russia all over the Fediverse while also denying it

To you, exposing and opposing blatant disinformation about fascism in the west is defending the Russian Republic. To me, it isn't.

By propagating the conspiracy theory that the far right problem in the west stems from Russia, you're not just being western supremacist (as in "our problems must always be caused by some foreign nation"), you're also obfuscating the very real material reasons why Europe and the US have a fascist problem, and that's my issue with you. You're whitewashing fascism by making up that "the problem with fascism is that it comes from outside".

This is what happens when you don't have proper training in logical argumentation. If you can find me a single instance where i say that fascism is exclusively coming from Russia I'll concede this argument to you.

If you can find me a single instance where I say that I wholeheartedly support the Russian Federation, which was your original claim, I'll also concede the argument.
