That's not really a thing neoliberals say...
They definitely complain about the tankies being a big part of the culture of Lemmy, and housing some of the biggest communities, but the statement in the comic isn't even remotely a thing neolibs or the .world demographic says
So this comic kinda just feels like a strange, confusing straw man...
The only times I hear of tankies is from how annoying they are in online forums, their only power being in their subreddits and lemmy instances. The only references to Marxists are from idiots repeating MAGA talking points.
Nothing appears to exist if you never open your eyes
Real eyes realize real lies
Really bro? That's what we're doing now?

Wow Toler ate your face

I know. Cancer spreads.
Leftism is cancer now?
Reaction images are leftism now?
Memes are Hexbear?

This is a self explanatory meme, get some fucking perspective. Leftists have been fully destroyed around the world yet every meta thread on lemmy.world are people in a panic about "tankies" which maybe count in the dozens world wide. Chill out. The stress from being so self righteous might give you cancer.
I don't care about tankies. I care about the fucking image reactions that make using this website intolerable
It is quite literally a memes community dude. Feel free to make use of the block button, I sure don't want to hear from you ever again and will be doing so.

Lol, ok...
How dare I not take a meme seriously. This is very serious business! We should have a debate
Political memes are not just leisure, they do have the potential to reinforce people's views.
So, if you do want to share a political perspective, better not be too "unserious" about it.
The meme is really self explanatory though. I'm not going to think for you. If you get it then its funny, if you don't it isn't my job to hold your hand. Feel free to use the downvote button that doesn't even federate to my instance.
You don't have to have a debate, but using that image as a reaction makes you look like a child. Just respond thoughtfully, or don't respond at all.
