    You can jump to defend the tankie fucks if you want

    What is your problem? I was simply trying to explain to you that most newbies who are now flocking to instances such as lemmy.ml don’t give a shit about Marxism-Leninism and they don’t know that the domain “.ml” stands for Marxism-Leninism… Why are you trying to accuse me of “defending tankies”? What makes you even come to this conclusion? It’s completely absurd…

    Lemmy.ml has been clear from the start that ML stands for Marxist Leninist.

    Yeah I am familiar with Lemmy for about 2 years now, I’m completely aware that there are a lot of cringy tankies around here… What I’m trying to tell you is that most people who have joined in the past couple of days are largely not tankies…

    You can argue that people who are signing up to lemmy.ml would probably find that one out very soon if they just do basic research, and you would be right. But again, most people won’t do that, they will simply click on join and ignore anything that is written there.
