It’s so fucking annoying when a popular sub has or gets compromised mods, for any type of propaganda.

Also, fuck Putin.

    What you are saying might be true as well but given your uncivil comment history i am pretty sure a mod “being tankie” is not the reason you are silenced in those communities…

      If a community just wants civility, that’s fair. When they allow tankie incivility but silence anti-tankie, that’s infuriating.

        Yeah if incivility is in the rules it should be enforced for everyone.

        Sorry to ask but since you keep using that word, what does tankie has to do with putin? Wasn’t it something about the soviet union?

          Tankies support modern day China and Russia. There’s a veneer of pro-communism but the reality is just anti-Americanism. A lot of tankies pretend that Russia is still a communist state.

          All of which would be sad but forgivable. It’s their lying, manipulation, and meddling in other countries’ affairs that prompt the angry response they get.

          Essentially, “tankie” = someone who supports anti-American authoritarianism
