they have been going out of their way to make any leftist space toxic to liberals… to make any communist space toxic to communists. when hxbr was on reddit, they brigaded and harassed leftists only… and they definitely use a lot of sock puppets and run campaigns to manipulate and fuck up forums like this. many people are stupid enough to be tankies, but i think the vast majority are completely fake. they’re extremely hostile towards people who genuinely are interested in communism and come there to learn and engage… extremely extremely hostile. they are not looking for community, they are seeking to destroy communities and make communism look as bad as possible. in short: tankies are fake as fuck and a psyop

I go to check the modlog and-

I don't know what I expected, but apparently the anticommunist thinks 'mansplaining' is a slur.

Bonus: mansplaining nonbinary, complaining about misandry

How compelling

Holy cannoli, that's possibly the most incel toxic masculinity I've seen or heard in three years, online or 3D.

Dude unironically called his account "Ozymandias" after the Watchmen character, holy shit, dude probably thinks he is actually the smartest person in the world, and of course he's got major issues with women, probably thinks women are "naturally less intelligent" than men or some bullshit.

Every fucking time. Every time there's some anti-com who claims that communism or "tankies" are mindless idiots who know nothing they always turn out to be some massively pathetic loser. They never actually have any evidence to back up their position, just hatred and bigotry. It's almost like they hate communists because unlike liberals, we will actively point out their misogyny and racism, and won't quietly tolerate it until they get overconfident and go too far, we don't even tolerate their dogwhistles.

after the Watchmen character

Why not after the poem? Which is not any better of course.

The poem is about how immaterial we all are and how no matter how mighty we may seem, we too will be lost to the sands of time. It's humbling. There's no way this guy named himself after the poem, unless he's never read it and thinks it is just a "smart guy thing" to reference it, which I suppose would check out.
