I forgot to set a reminder so I’m a little late getting to this, but here we are again:

Are you a “tankie”?

Respond “yes” or “no”, I’ll collate results later

This process is being undertaken to determine if so-called “tankies” are conspiring to make you (yes, you) have a bad time on the internet!

vague or informal answers will be interpreted by the central authority (me). Only top level comments will be counted. I will not be providing further instructions or clarifications.

I’ll likely check back in a week, my old pc died so itll take a little bit of time to prettify the results and write a report

Ciao, and of course, imperialism must be destroyed.

    Women and muslims are both systematically oppressed groups, you used someone complaining about violence against women as a springboard to make an incredibly poor “joke” about muslims, just repeating standard islamophobic talking points as the “joke.” This isn’t about virtue signalling, you were in the wrong and it was right to remove your comment.

    None of this will “get people to vote for Trump,” people that talk like that would have voted for him anyways.

        So it wasn’t a joke, you were just being openly islamophobic after all? Incredible.

        Again, women and muslims are both systemically oppressed. No, nobody said “all men are predators,” you took personal offense to someone talking about widespread systemic oppression of women. Do some self-crit, you talked down on someone speaking against oppression and added your own islamophobic take.

          I’m sorry but yeah. I’ll be blunt but yes. Someone said “All men are predators”. In Spanish actually, because I live in Spain “Todos los hombres son predadores, está en los estudios” where their words one to one.

          The way I see it now, feminism has been poisoned by all this fairly recent talk and I certainly make it known on my valots.

          Simply put, being part of a sistematically oppressed group shouldn’t give free reign to insult people. Point one, me! I’m Muslim and if you try to dig down my posts and say “you aren’t brown enough”. Please self-flagellate upon said islamophobia.

            Again, you’re pushing back against people complaining about the very real systemic oppression of women. Feminism is not “poisoned,” people like you take the real complaints and assume personal accusation of each and every man. I’m a man, and I don’t take offense when people speak out against the oppression of women by men, because I know they aren’t talking about me.

              No cant do, I’ll take people at their word the same way you took mine. I won’t assume “they aren’t talking about me”, I’m done keeping that aside because it hasn’t done me any good.

              I’ll be keeping my self-respect and I will not support any of these smear campaings.

                You’ll continue to prove the feminists that describe fierce opposition to women’s rights from men correct.

                  It’s more of a self-made prophecy then. You can’t alienate a whole group of society and surprise yourself when said group leaves you behind. Look, we’re two men wasting our time away for people who don’t care about us. Let’s call it done.

                    Feminists aren’t alienating a whole group of society, said group is alienating itself by rejecting real and valid critique of the oppression of women. I’m not alienated from feminism, and women do care about me. We can call it done if you want, but I’m still going to disagree.
