This is the weirdest LARP I’ve ever come across.
Utterly bizarre how they think everyone shares their views.
Almost like they have no knowledge of world history or current politics outside of their circlejerk.
Fuck, the level of fighting you have to do in any country to get even basic policy accepted by ordinary folk, much less radical ideology, is insane. People have their own troubled and difficult lives to go about and generally don’t care too much even for political movements that will make their lives better in the long run. That’s why being a good citizen is important, and why continuous outreach is so important to the success of anything except conservative ideologies, which benefit from the do-nothing care-nothing attitude.
But that’s too much like hard work and not enough like asspats and self-righteousness, so it gets ignored.
I believe it stems from their often rich background. They’ve got it too easy, they never have to work or struggle to make ends meet, makes them feel guilty (and rightfully so, might I add).
But instead of instituting change, they latch onto a dead ideology as a fashion statement, trying to constantly one-up each other over how virtuous and rebellious they are, without doing any of the hardwork. When they get older, they drop their ideology because it never actually mattered to them.
It’s a shame since everyone can agree that rich people are always fucking everyone over. But unfortunately, Tankies are communists in name only, and even then, they’re called Tankies by real communists. If I was a communist, and so passionate that I was to “genocide all amerikkkan colonists.” I’d move to Cuba or Vietnam, you know, actual communist states. They have cheap visas, love hard-working Westerners, are self-sufficient, and need all the hands they can get.
But no. That means effort. That means putting energy to my beliefs. Instead I will larp because deep down I’m a capitalist in denial that I will make it big and then I can totaaally dismantle the system from the inside. Maybe I’ve talked to too many of them on a personal level.
Tax the rich
tax 'em to hell

If that one doesn’t fit, there’s always “communism is an ideology of envy”
Doubtful. Who isn’t envious of billionaires?
I don’t, but I’m a square.
Well that’s the neat thing: depending on where you draw the line pretty much anyone can be either poor and envious or rich and hypocritical. A flexible way of dismissing radical change, if ever there were one.
With a little ‘lazy’ garnish on top, I’d say it’s an effective reactionary recipe. Subtle but compelling.
My comrade!
Par for the course, comrade. You sure are powering that revolution by sitting back and doing literally nothing!
At least the other guy has the excuse of being disabled (because apparently the disabled can’t revolt or flee)?
Is morbid obesity considered a disability?
Sometimes!
Tragic: 99% of leftists who would totally do real radical praxis if they could, are too disabled to do anything at all 😪
“Ah yes I hate racism so much, I’m going to be a better racist”
Cmon bro
Don’t forget “I hate white people for doing nothing while the seeds of collapse were being planted. So I will do nothing while the seeds of collapse bear fruit.”
Someone explain to me how this person isn’t a genocide enthusiast. And of course hexbear admins approve of genocide enthusiasts in their instance, as long as it is for genocide against their perceived enemies.
It’s the right kind of genocide, so it’s okay
I’m sure Putin paid for every penny of that spite. Nothing says getting revenge for your dead ancestors like being a fucking tool for the biggest crooked cracker in the world.

Sort of unrelated but what does EM POC stand for?
Ethnic minorities and people of colour.
Ah ok
Thank you, was woefully behind on the latest slang.
PoC is pretty standard.
But I think EM is so they can gatekeep who is a minority and who’s not, such as Ughyurs. I’ve seen tankies argue that Ughyurs and Mongelians are actually colonisers, so it’s okay if China puts them in detention camps.
Damn that’s fucked up. Tankies are genuinely so racist it’s crazy
Tankie can’t go two comments with out some sort of genocide apologia
Electromagnetic proof of concept
Wow. Hate, meet impotent men. Spiritually and psychologically impotent. I’m relieved that they are too much so to get off their butts and lead in any way.
