    My mind went to tankies because we’re on lemmy so surely you haven’t missed those. OH .ml, I see…

    Don’t forget the group that assumes they know everything about everyone based on their Lemmy instance. Those folks can eat a bag of dicks!

    I’d say we’re about 70 million short of there being enough tankies in the US to worry about. Magas on the other hand… So yeah, the racist magats and the rest of us cover all the cases being discussed here.

      My point wasn’t that tankies are more numerous than racists, my point was that “only one group” is not accurate, being that there are “at least two groups.”

      Furthermore, being a murderous dickhole is only a problem in sufficient numbers? Well by your logic I guess we don’t have to worry about the KKK then, there’s about 3k of them, which without checking I’m betting is less than grad+bear+ml users.

      Sorry, I can’t subscribe to that, murderous dickheads and their ideologies are bad be they one or one billion.

        LOL you want so bad to have a fight about tankies because I’m on ml so you think that’s something I like to fight about.

        I have magas in my family I need to avoid for Thanksgiving. I don’t have any tankies. Neither, I can say with almost complete certainty, do you. Neither are they pictured in OP, because they don’t factor into the dynamic being satirized. In fact, I’m 95% certain no one reading this thread has a tankie in their family they need to try to avoid on Thanksgiving. Nor do they exist in sufficient numbers in the US to impact our nation or its politics in any substantive way. Inserting them in this discussion is a non sequitur at best and a troll at worst.

        Please go find a tankie or someone who feels like defending them for the argument you want so badly to have.

        Goodbye! 👋

          Thankfully the family tankie does seem to have grown out of it by now, but they’re out there in other families, your experiences don’t define everyone else’s.

          But again all of this is besides the point, your claim that “there’s only one group” is factually incorrect.

          Bye indeed.

            your experiences don’t define everyone else’s.

            If you closely read my words you’ll find I didn’t say they did.

            Plonk.
