Wow, this Hexbear place is full of tankies who believe bad things are good things

I keep thinking of bad things and then say "wow I bet Hexbear would like this thing" and then I smugly smile while shit leaks out of my pants. Both ends.

I called you a tankie on the internet therefore ipso fatso socialism is over.
- So I used to spend a lot of time on R*ddit and I was an anarchist for a long time, so because of that you'd just get familiarised with the usernames of more active anarchists over time.
  
  (This was to the point where one user, u/fuckeverythingever, who was a fairly prolific poster on that account [and prior ones that got banned but they had a distinct disposition and writing style so it was easy enough to recognise when one of his accounts would get banned and then a new account would spring up talking about the same things with the same mannerisms and I'd be like - oh hey, he's back!], went dark and then not long after news travelled around about the death of a young Portland anarchist named Sean Kealiher and while he never gave out his real name or his age online, it lined up well enough that I'm pretty well sure that was his account and that we knew each other online.)
  
  It was a bitterly funny thing to me, when the term tankie started to enter mainstream discourse around the same time I became an ML, that I would see these slapfights break out in more mainstream subs and there'd be an anarchist account which I'd be able to recognise and some lib would be accusing them of being a tankie for being too far to the left of them.
  
  Often I'd see it and be like "Hang on, I'm pretty sure I recognise that username..." so I'd check their posting history and sure enough it'd be yet-another instance of an anarchist being called "tankie" by a liberal.
  
  The tankie-as-political-slur revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for human discourse.
  
  some lib would be accusing them of being a tankie for being too far to the left of them.
  
  Happens to me all the time
- If I saw a tankie in real life I'd go right up to them and say "sir I like good things"
  
  Make sure you bring your dad with you to help debate.
- over.
One time a Hexbear said something mean to me and then I cammed myself. Sure showed that tankie!
- one time *sniff* one time i s-saw a hexbear user and i s-said "g-good things are good" and they said "actually good things are bad" and i jus- i just man im fuckign crying just thinking about it i cant stpo crying
Counter point, Russia does capitalism just as bad as they did communism. If we did it in Murrica, we’d kick ass at it and be a shining beacon of socialism.
- I want to congratulate you on the dumbest shit I've read all day before I ban you.
  
  made me think of this
  
  Is it serious or not? The "Murrrica" makes me think it's deliberately ambiguous. We need to get more response to ascertain whether this kind of thing is a clever bit or not.
  
  Hey, another thing you guys have in common with the alt right, banning people who disagree with you, guess I'll add that to the list!
- i promise its information and not a meme, idk how to unblur it
  
  I thought it dipped tremendously when the Soviet Union was officially dismantled
  
  The fall of the Soviet Union was one of the greatest crimes in human history.
- this is a bit, right?
  
  this is a bit, right?
- Radioactive levels of chauvinism, stick a burger in it shithead.
- you're a stupid asshole, shut the fuck up liberal

  yes all your socialists have so much work to show
  
  until your daddies killed the good ones.

- Honestly I'm a little ashamed at how many people on this website took the bait on this one. This is a good post.
- If this is a joke it's phrased in such a way that it's totally ambiguous and I find that really funny in and of itself.
  
  If this isn't a joke, please read Settlers.
- Holy fucking shit the perfect bait, if you had a set of pronouns you'd be celebrated but because you don't the hogs got feral and ate you alive :data-laughing:
  
  Some good fucking shit.
I've been seeing posts from this instance for awhile because I can't figure out how block specific instances and everytime I open a thread it is a cesspool of a mental mastrubating echo chamber.
- that pain you feel is your echo chamber being breached and your brain de-pressurizing
- i wish i could block tankies too. just the thought of one being next to me scares me so much that i wet myself quite frequently. they mentally masturbate to bad things instead of good things.
  
  Can confirm that I mentally masturbate to line going down instead of line going up.

  Centrists don't exist. Neither do free thinkers.
- Yeah? Which things are "mental masturbation" and why do they bother you? What specifically has someone said?
  
  This post is obviously circlejerking, for deliberate effect, it's irony and a joke. What actually serious things are you talking about?
  
  Every post on here is meta talking about yourselves rather than your philosophy. Just a bunch posts saying "Watch me destroy these libtards". Most of the content here is meaningless ad hominem attacks.
- okay idk who needs to hear this but if you have an echo chamber do not use it as a cesspool. and if you must use your echo chamber as a cesspool, do not masturbate in it. You risk disease, hearing loss, and smelling really bad.
- Permanently Deleted
- Yeah it’s a bit weird where the echo chamber setting is. The tankie Lemmy devs don’t want people blocking instances.
  
  It’s on this settings page under the FAQs
- We deliver!
- masturbation is prohibited

  I am aware of the sarcasm of this post as OP has their account on hexbear. But you are guys are basically communists but worse. You guys aren't proles and you aren't pro-prole and never will be.
- Suck off a liberal and a fascist cums
- I'm 50/50 on the huge image macros. Needs a psyduck to feel like early 2000s Something Awful tho.
  
  they're not supposed to be huge. I think that's a lemmy bug. On hexbear.net they have a CSS property that limits their width to 56px.
