I used to be in quite a few elevator community servers, but then they all started ranting about how (back in the day) I made it public on there that I was pro-CPC, and then someone brought the whole CPC drama back up again and then everyone started hating on me because I supported the CPC. Someone even called me a “Russia supporter” despite the fact that I don’t support Russia and I support peace between Russia and Ukraine and then he got mad at me for not supporting Ukraine. And he also played the “tfp bad cuz he support ccp” card.

    Anti-communism is not a particularity of communities of people who enjoy recording elevators. Communists in the west are a tiny minority against a much larger bulk of society that opposes them, and this proportion is most likely to be reproduced inside groups dedicated to activities with little relation to anything that evokes political thought.

    I do not know about the elevator communities, but this is likely part of the false flag groups that pretend to be Communists to give false credibility to the blatant lies of the Liberals. The impersonation could also disguise the infighting among the Liberals as fighting against external political groups, create illusion of Communist infighting, or frame the Communists for the misdeed of the Liberals especially when the Liberals have no moral standing with their hypocrisy and self contradiction.

        My mistake. The description is just like the tankiejerkers so I assumed that they pretend to be communists. Anyway, why are they bringing politics into non political communities and why are they so confident that Communists will follow the modern American redefinition of dictatorship? Did some crazy abnormal political maniac infiltrated the communities? Or were the communities a political group in disguise from the beginning?

          idk, i joined the elevator community in 2020-ish and it was alr infested by anticommunists by then. They completely dismiss my argument and say that “The ebil SeeSeePee is killing the poor people that’s why the poverty rate is going down”, which has literally 0 evidence supporting it and comes from raw China-Bad-Ism. (keep in mind i only started talking about politics because they were posting “fReE hOnGkEy kOnG” comments on YT and Discord and I wanted to provide a counterargument) They plaster the Hong Cuck Riot stickers all over their lifts and use “CCP” as an insult for someone on a power trip.
