love that the fediverse has organically grown Red Scare witch hunts. None of that phony Fed GMO astroturf shit. Just drop some "leftist" redditors into the dirt and BAM a whole field of "say Stalin ate babies or else ur a tankie and I'll downvote you"

reddit will delete this comment cuz they're controlled by China but fuck the CCP!!!
same energy
lemmitors are just mass downvoting negative articles about Ukraine in their news comms, even if it comes from mainstream sources like Wapo or ft. Someone in the comments just has to accuse the OP of being a tankie or having a pro-Russian agenda and then engagement with the post just craters so it doesn't show up in feeds anymore.
okay let's be honest though where is the lie
The whole "Manifest Destiny is innocent because colonialism is just human nature" is very popular with Amerikkkans. I've heard this same shit from grade school to the workplace.
They fucking love essentializing their national crimes as products of evolutionary behavior so they can pat themselves on the back for "overcoming" their "natural" urges while being flabbergasted about the oppressed for wanting accountability from the still existing regime that perpetrated it (and still is!).
When they were just on Reddit, 196 seeming to be a community of mostly children at times being encouraged to be horny and fetishize trans folk was at least a bit yikes which is why I never engaged with them.
HB jokes about the volcel vanguard a lot, but there's a kernel of truth for how much less horny this instance is which is good for discouraging chaser behavior.
