Hi. I have been banned form Tankie Jerk at piefed.social

No wonder there. I asked how they defined tankie and fun followed. But:

I am trying to understand how piefed differs from lemmy and how people end up on piefed?

    I think it’s vagueness that irks me the most and that is why I ask everytime. Reactionaries always do this shit and leave the burden of argument with their opposition. Asking them for definitions smacks the ball back in their court. I just find it funny they didnt even bother the say anything, but went straight to the ban hammer.

      That’s all they can do, for all their screaming about tankies being a “echo chamber” they absolutely cannot, will not, ever tolerate an opinion different from their own, even asking questions about and potentially casting doubt on their opinions is enough to get them frothing at the mouth with rage.

      The vagueness is a necessary component to ensure people think “tankie” is a different thing to “communist”. They want to define all communists as tankies while simultaneously making less aware people believe that there are communists who are not tankies. Then the baby left people try to be the “good” communists who aren’t tankies. The propaganda relies on it.
