      I’m just telling you to fuck off in a more polite way, Mr. Nonconfrontational.

      You are just inventing straw men to attack at this point, after ignoring just about everything else I said (save for the parts that helped you pivot to your propaganda pitch).

      You’ve done a +1 in the bucket of “Should I just block lemmy.ml?” Like 90% of the socialists I talk to from there end up being tankies and it’s exhausting, not to mention erodes my faith in socialism. As I said, nothing you’ve said here has been in good faith.

      Why do you argue in bad faith? I have no idea. Maybe you’re secretly anti-socialist and want to make socialists look dumb.

        soo, just to chime in, i get your whole point, and i agree with you. i’m just gonna propose another explanation why the other user behaves like a tankie:

        • the collapse of the sovjet union scarred many people psychologically. in its core, the sovjet union was a noble project with a bad execution, and it’s like, if you’re working for something, and can’t accept that it fails. it’s like the love of your life leaves you or sth, some people never get over it. some of these people then think that it was because of america’s constant military threats etc that made the sovjet union fail. anyways, these people then end up thinking “well, if we had more military power, then we’d have been successful”. and that drives them to become tankies.

        meanwhile, the sovjet union failed for complex geopolitical reasons that had basically nothing to do with military power. so the tankies are wrong, but they’re wrong because they’re deeply hurt themselves, not because they’re inherently evil people.

        That sucks, or is good. I’m not reading your drivel. Can’t wait for your country to collapse, either way.

        Death to America.
