Its just an instance where tankies can exist in an echo chamber without having to critically think.

If you want you can read some of my comments here and watch these morons make fallacious argument after falacious argument, put words in my mouth, and project some person who makes similarly bad takes which exists inside their head onto me: https://lemmy.today/comment/17304484

Edit: there's also this thread: https://lemmy.today/post/32415724/17304693

How so

I'm not sure exactly what you're asking, but I assumed since you said you blocked the instance and you weren't responding to their comments on this post that you couldn't see them. However, coming back to this thread I see a response from you so I'm not sure what's going on

Blocking an instance doesn't block the users of that instance. Just the communities. So users posting from an account on a blocked instance to a community on a non blocked instance will still show up.

I have hexbear and ML blocked. I still see all you assholes in here, brigading this shit.

Brigading AKA sorting by all/active lol...you're not on Reddit anymore

It was ambiguous what comments you were referring to. (This post or the comments in the other one) I get it now.

I don't really want to hear from them. Their roasts are just bad arguments and bullying.

[–] Amnesigenic@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 days ago

Their arguments are all better than any you've ever produced, the bullying is warranted

Yup, pretty much. Tankies are a scourge and the world would have been better without them in it.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The world would have been better if the Nazis won WWII? If the Tsar had remained a brutal dictator with life expectancies and literacy rates both in the low 30s? Mask-off moment for you, holy shit.

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Nice strawman dipshit.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 days ago

Saying the world would have been better off without communists directly states that the ones who killed 90% of the Nazis in World War II and took Berlin should've never existed, the Tsar never overthrown, Cuba to remain a fascist slaver colony under Batista, China to remain under the feudal Kuomintang dictatorship, Vietnam to remain a colony of France, South Africa to remain an Apartheid regime, etc.

It isn't a strawman, it's the direct consequences of what you said.
