Comment on Wouldn't want to live during those times

It’s kind of funny in retrospect, but when the .ML groups started getting filtered out from federation, their users started actually going to other communities and instigating arguments.

It was like they’re not happy with just having their own little shithole to poop in. They had to go and shit in other people’s shitholes as well.

The reason I say it was funny is that there was actually a discussion and an argument over whether or not we should drfederate from .ml, and once we did, we found out exactly why it was right to defederate from them in the first place.

There were a lot of people who were like, “no, it’s censorship to defederate from an entire community because of a few bad actors”, and “we shouldn’t punish the many for the actions of the few”, but once the majority ruled and we defederated from them, it became incredibly apparent that we were right to do so, and that only the only people that are having accounts there are trolls, tankies, and people that like to start shit for the lolz like its 2007 on the internet again.

It’s actually quite easy to instigate an argument between tankies themselves too.

While I still used Reddit, I used to sometimes visit “communism101” sub or whatever and would answer some historical questions regarding Soviet Union, as living in post-soviet country I, if course, hear a lot from people who experienced it themselves. And I once mentioned that being unemployed was illegal in USSR. Discussion immediately turned into a shitstorm where tankies started calling each other “lazy bourgeois dogs” and “libshits”. 🗿

they are true believers, and part of their creed to to spread the good word and condemn the non-believers.

for most human beings, something isn’t worth believing in unless you actively try to recruit others to your beliefs. they are never content doing their own thing because their utopia can’t come to be until everyone believes what they do.

it’s like that with anyone who has militant belief. every militant asshole i have ever met has the same playbook of ‘the world sucks, but would perfect if people just believed what i believed and never questioned me or my beliefs’. and their entire playbook is built on hypocrisy.

but yeah, life is better when you block/remove assholes like this from you life. doesn’t matter if it’s politics, gender war crap, or religion/atheism.
