Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

First I saw the blatant lies in the coverage of the Gaza genocide. It was especially bad in Germany like our supposed neutral public news repeated literal IDF propaganda. An unholy rage I never felt before send me down a rabbit hole. I know "Manufacturing Consent" is not liked anymore but that burst my bubble on our propaganda being anything different than a tool to control the masses. In the meanwhile I spend more and more time on Breadtube watching overzealots, revolutionarythot etc. Somewhere along I joined here to find out what being a "tankie" is about. As a side quest I also started transitioning while I struggle through "Das Kapital".

So to put it short: Huge flaws in liberal propaganda and decent red propaganda have brought me here.

Are you telling me, becoming am communist (I only feel "weird" to call myself communist because of my enormous lack of theoretical knowledge) was a step towards my transition? Because they sure are aligned quite well from the timing.

Ohh my poor Zionist dad...

It was a great post, thank you. This is so much easier to digest than the books our fellow comrade has red.

BTW I forgot to mention I would self identify as a vegan marxist-leninist transwoman. If I would get called a tankie I would feel pride.
