Comment on Putin too, for some reason
HCSOThrowaway@lemmy.world 1 hour agoWhat in the mental gymnastics is your comment meant to be?
Your edit comes across as, “Oops, looks like I was trying to rage against someone without realizing we agree; better edit to add a subtle retraction.”

It’s a bit of that… Arguing on the internet is just easy to fall into so sorry if you feel hard done by in my figuring out we’re agreeing.
I’m also spread a bit thin because I’ve put a lot of comments out on this post, as I have strong opinions on being anti-tankie and anti-communist under American Capitalist Fascism/Trumpism.

But you do understand it makes you and yours look ridiculous - and is thus counterproductive - when you can’t help yourself (due to your stated strong opinions) but to participate in such bad faith, right?
Between that and the suspicion I have that you were implying the massacres would be more acceptable if they weren’t pro-communist protestors and it’s just one more anecdote of tankies having bizarre and unconscionable stances.

Okay - I’m not a fucking tankie. I’m not even a communist, and no I wasn’t saying that.
Your assumptions are your own.

Fair enough, but you do see that you’ve quacked like a duck here, right?
Especially in the context of a post that’s bound to draw tankies to run to the defense of fellow tankies, as you can see elsewhere in the comments.
