    On the contrary, mocking tankies and fascists wherever they are found is good and necessary.

      Tankies and fascists must never feel welcome, and for the same reasons. Even Chompskyites, monarchists, and ancaps pale in comparison. Tankies and fascists have no interest in being part of a functioning community that isn’t run by them.

      … though I might suggest making ancaps unwelcome simply to avoid the inevitable age of consent arguments.

        I won’t normally try to correct people on it, but fascists and tankies aren’t quite the same. The latter are vile authoritarians, but fascism is a more specific thing, even if it’s still kind of fuzzy and hard to nail down.

        Though if you just meant it as a joke, carry on. o7

          Tankies are vile human beings with an ultimately good goal (even if no real way of achieving it with their methods).

          Fascists are vile human beings with vile goals.

            I wouldn’t say the goal is good. Some aspects of it, yes, even if I don’t agree with it. But they openly call for violence against those they disagree with. I wouldn’t call that good.

              I mean, I would call that the method. Generally, they theoretically are still calling for an end-goal of stateless communism.

                A goal that will never be reached because it is a utopian dream. Human flaws will stop it occurring everytime, and that’s where the big problems are. They can only achieve it through violence, and every time it’s been tried that violence ends up being used to shore up the power of the few at the top.

      You’re starting to sound exactly like them. That’s virtually the same type of emphatic shit they’d say to justify their dunk tank bullshit.

        Paradox of tolerance, my friend. To maintain a tolerant society, you cannot tolerate intolerance.

        Or, in other words: Tolerance is a social contract. When others break that social contract, you have the right to respond in kind.

        Outright denying genocides and praising Putin’s aggression in Ukraine is what I’d call intolerant. I don’t care what your pronouns are or how LGBTQ friendly you are, supporting fascism and genocide is not okay and breaks the social contract we have.

              The only failure happening, is Lemmy still showing me notifications from y’all impotent toxic avengers in this community, after I blocked it multiple hours ago. So I’ll just start dishing them out individually. Enjoy.

            Could you specify which parts in the comment you replied to which sounds like tankies? They described the paradox of tolerance perfectly as well as summarised the viewpoints of tankies, neither of which any tankies would say themselves.

            So you can see why people are wondering about your bizarre remark, and some may even suspect you to have been disingenous.

        As I alluded to in another comment, I’m not necessarily against the dunking itself, I’m against the death cult ideology that they bring with them. If you find that kind of mockery annoying, then this probably isn’t a community you want to involve yourself in.
