You’re much kinder than I.

If you’re anywhere north of 10 years old, you still have a lot of growing up to do. Thanks for showing me exactly what kind of person you are and I hope you have a day that is just as wonderful as you are.

Hold on here. Was it that you knew it wouldn’t translate well in text or was it that we’d need to use our brains but didn’t? Because you seem to change your story so that you can blame everyone else for misunderstanding because you were vague.

It’s funny you call us Redditors: I’m engaging with you (and increasingly regretting it) instead of just downvoting and moving on, while you’re blaming others instead of owning up to your actions. Which exactly is classic Reddit behavior?

You made a comment you knew wouldn’t translate well to text and didn’t try to make sure others would understand your intent. Someone took it seriously, so your response is “knew someone would get all hurt by it though” instead of owning up to it.

I have this wild suggestion for it. Don’t write ambiguous messages. If you do and it confuses or offends someone, explain or apologize instead of being a wanker and pretending the other people are the problem. You’re the problem here, mate.

That just makes me wank harder.

“Free speech absolutist”. I wish he’d trip in the bathroom and make the world a better place.

For every tankie I actually see, there’s twenty people like you whining about imaginary tankies. Get a hobby, go outside. There’s much more to life than complaining about problems you dreamed up.

Hard agree. I’m not from The States but lived there for a number of years. People there who call themselves left are usually closer to center or center right and seem to engage in extreme pearl clutching when exposed to anything even vaguely left of center.

I think part of the issue is decades of propaganda and government brain washing coupled with a deep seated ignorance of actual leftist politics. They know practically nothing about progressive policies and feel no need to learn as they believe they already know all there is to know.

It seems like a sizable portion of .world users have a thing for making up issues and claiming tankies are the cause of these imaginary issues, then getting together for a circle jerk about how great they are for recognizing these tankie problems.

They’re just like the American MAGA idiots - stupid people loudly getting upset about things.

Let’s see… Repeatedly buy filtered municipal drinking water sold in an earth fucking plastic bottle, or install a reverse osmosis water system and replace the filters 2-4 times a year?

Clearly a VERY personally threatening article for you. I too am triggered by experts stating facts I don’t like. /s

Does Lemmy have a r/conservative leak?

I can’t understand why some Lemmy users feel the need to invent new things the tankies might say or do. It reminds me of American MAGA folk: they take a perceived problem, vastly magnify it by fabricating further falsehoods, then engage in a circle jerk where they all seem to feel superior for identifying this massive problem that they largely imagined up.

I suppose it’s a lazy way to get easy engagement, but it’s dishonest and gross. Let tankies be accountable for what they actually do, lying about them makes you just as bad.

Edit: I didn’t notice at first, but of course it’s YeetPics, the alt of PugJesus, one of the .world tankie rabble rousers. Check their post history, they seemingly just can’t stop talking about tankies. Maybe it’s a kink?

I can’t wait to hear how the world’s most moral army has told citizens to evacuate then attacked them while they’re gathered in the evacuation area.

I appreciate that you prefaced your comment by letting us know it was a braindead tumblr take. I otherwise would have been confused since it’s centered around a point the original comment never made.

I lived there for years. It’s worth visiting, just don’t live there.

Considering many buildings don’t have air conditioning, you’re spot on.

Consider yourself lucky. Many older European homes don’t have bathroom fans. Some older bathrooms barely have windows.

The irony of you actually being a passive aggressive douchebag by pretending the op might be passive aggressive is off the charts.

I also repeat conservative talking points when I have no idea what I’m talking about.

Wait wait, I’m wrong. I’m not an idiot.

It would be better if they never loosed their train of thought on you in the first place.
