Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.
Rules:
- No bigotry of any kind.
- No tankies or right-wingers. Liberals are allowed so long as they are aware of this
- No genocide or atrocity denial
We allow posts about tankie behavior, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion. Please redirect any Fediverse tankie-posts to !MeanwhileOnGrad@sh.itjust.works to avoid bringing drama to Piefed.social
Curious about non-tankie leftism? If you've got a little patience for 19th century academic style, let a little Marx and Kropotkin be your primer!
Marx's Communist Manifesto, short and accessible! Highly recommended if you haven't read it

They're very draconic about not criticizing genAI. I don't know if they're tankies per se, but they're definitely authoritarian about people that disagree with them.
Considering the fediverse has like 3 topics they talk about and the one that is spammed for the most upvotes is purity testing how much someone hates AI, I think it's fair to shut it up in a place that publicly stated they are pro-AI.
They are free to defederate from every instance where people are anti-AI, but they want to have their filter bubble and preach it too. Pretending to have only heard a set of straw man arguments and then laboriously deleting every comment that points out it's a straw man.
