Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.
Rules:
- No bigotry of any kind.
- No tankies or right-wingers. Liberals are allowed so long as they are aware of this
- No genocide or atrocity denial
We allow posts about tankie behavior, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion. Please redirect any Fediverse tankie-posts to !MeanwhileOnGrad@sh.itjust.works to avoid bringing drama to Piefed.social
Curious about non-tankie leftism? If you've got a little patience for 19th century academic style, let a little Marx and Kropotkin be your primer!
Marx's Communist Manifesto, short and accessible! Highly recommended if you haven't read it

I don't like being lumped in with these people just because I chose to register on the devs‘ instance.

A person's instance can be an identity, of sorts. Not everyone going to make assumptions about you, but you are going to be exposed to a ton of unconscious bias, regardless.
If I see someone at a baseball game, it's safe to assume that the person actually likes baseball. It's so safe of a guess that many people wouldn't think twice about making that assumption.
I am simply calling out the conundrum for what it is. Stereotyping isn't the best thing in the world, but it is inevitable.
