Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

So basically you're mad because they posted memes, insulted you, didn't feel bad about the dumb "tankie" label you assigned them, and they dared to defend China on some aspects. You're full of shit because you're making mountains out of molehills. Looks like you're following their advice and crying about it.

Am I supposed to turn the other cheek when someone insults me, shithead? lol Why don't you follow your own advice, then

didn’t feel bad about the dumb “tankie” label you assigned them

They said they were tankies themselves. Do you not read? LOL They were defending themselves for being tankies and memeing aobut it and were full-on apologetic about all these shit countries and citing their favorite authors. How is that making molehills? Explain it. You're so full of it yourself, you don't even know. If I'm "crying" what are you doing then, hypocrite.

You don't understand. They took on the tankie label to own it instead of letting people like you use it as some unrecoverable insult. Just like how in US politics, being called a commie is so poisonous that politicians do anything to avoid the label. If instead there were politicians who were fine with calling themselves communist, it'd lose its power. You really need to calm down. All this rage is preventing you from understanding simple concepts and also it's bad for your health.

Don't patronize me, you're the one who doesn't know shit. You're a dick who thinks yourself superior because you think you got it all figured out but all you do is distort, deflect and move the goal post. Talk about everybody else building molehills some more, though. You can lick the "rage" out of my ass if it so bothers you that someone isn't abashed to call you out.

Sounds like you're the bothered one, mate.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That's all you do, go around bothering everyone, mate. Like Janis Ian once said, "You're a mean girl. You're a bitch." Let me remind you of how hard you shot yourself in the foot for assuming instead of asking questions first, then dragged this out to save face trying to pin it on me.
