Politics | Tankies | Subtoot | Problems with the Auth-Left (---) 

Okay so after dealing with an ML (Read: Tankie in denial) denying the Uyghur Muslim genocide in Xinjiang, and dismissing mine and another person's personal experience as "western CIA propaganda" I am hereby cutting off all contact from Tankies, period.

If you don't like it, stop being fascists, you're making it worse for everyone. And yes, just because you use marxist aesthetics and LARP as a russian when you've lived most of your life in Florida, doesn't make you not a fascist. You keep using the word"frivolous" the same way the alt-right uses the word "degenerate" and it's blindingly obvious. You're not slick, fuck off.

@FreyaManibrandr denying genocide is okay if the country claims to be communist though, didn't you know? :blobrollingeyes:

@PsyChuan It's basically "It's okay when WE do it!" and yeah, fuck that shit. Genocide is genocide and all genocide is bad.

@PsyChuan @FreyaManibrandr China is Communist in the same way the Democratic Republic of Korea is a Democratic republic and I don’t understand why people don’t fucking realize this.

@Aarkethrix @PsyChuan Because a lot of white leftists in general subscribe to politicial campism where they think everything their own side does is noble and just, while everything the other does is evil and unjust.

@Aarkethrix @PsyChuan And it's like it's always western imperialism that gets brought up whenever we criticize tankie shit, and I am like, sure, the west is evil, but we're not talking about the west right now, stop trying to deflect.
