Had some fun with this. Rules:
- When a tankie post comes up, post a legitimate, fair argument. Do not argue in bad faith. No matter how nasty the post may be. Legitimately combat the disinformation there by going into their bubble and posting a sane response.
- Watch the responses come in. Especially if the post is on the tankie triad.
- Don't feed the trolls. Don't respond to anything, unless there is actually a legitimate attempt to have a legitimate discussion. Otherwise, start a game of tankie bingo to help prevent yourself from responding to the madness.
Suggestions for expansion welcome.
I still remember the first time I ever questioned capitalism as the only way to do things, and got called a danger to us all who'd get my dad in trouble if I said that stuff to the wrong people.
I was five years old and had asked my mother why money rules people's lives and why adults suck at sharing things.
It was scary at the time, but at least I got a good "no one's born a capitalist" story out of the first time my mom panicked over my politics and the first time my dad called me a pinko.
