It’s not fun interacting with them when they often want to engage in ad hominems. This is why I have no interest in the tankie triad.

    Multithread crashout with enough paragraphs typed to fill a novella. This level of drama might be peak Lemmy thought crime policing. Peak liberal vs tankie on a topic unrelated to it. This thread (an argument loadstone which was irresistible) and the time ya’ll have spent in is incredible. That’s just imo, of course.

    But keep going, I’m loving reading all this!

      It’s like drama in academia: It starts to become this titanic bitter struggle which causes people to lose their goddamned minds and fight to the ends of the earth, precisely because the stakes are so small.

        Well fucking said!

        If I had more time and less depression, I’d start making YouTube videos breaking down this drama. Someone is gonna make a lot of money on that idea.

          I legit thought about sending Strange Æons a message summarizing some of the main drama. It might be too reddit-y for her to be into, but I agree. Bottom line, it’s a fuckin’ gold mine.

            That’s a good idea, need someone Lemmy-brained like she’s Tumblr-brained tho. Those people are forged, the community might still be too young.
