    Tankies, like other fash, tend to push others out of spaces due to their vileness. I think it’s just a self-reinforcing cycle rather than coordination.

        Is a real bummer because I am quite a lefty in my own group and general society, and I was hoping for some challenges from further left. But I guess if it’s not straight up revolutionary blood lust it’s just authoritarianism apologists.

        Again, it’s one of the reasons I was stoked to join the lemmy/fediverse in the first place.

          Yeah. They are not further left, they’re just the slightly left wing inside the rest of right wing fascism

            Yeah, they pretty much just simp for any authoritarian that calls themselves communist.

            You know, typical leftist things… /s

      When I understood they’re descendents of ChapoTraphouse it all made sense. Half are righty astroturfers posing; some other sizable chunk are assuredly edgy teenagers. Some are foreign operatives. The rest are, frankly, the duped.

        I would actually pay to see the look on Dessalines face when he realizes that he’s the nerd God to a bunch of teenagers.
