“The farther you are away from my opinion (the neoliberal center), the closer you are to me labeling you authoritarian” is absolutely what western liberals believe.
“tankie fucks deserve to get their heads bashed in.”
It’s so funny to see liberals whine about authoritarian communism and then come out with “my solution is to be even more authoritarian than the evil leftists that live in my head”.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the perfect idea of a liberal candidate is just this guy
I thought as much but it’s still satire in the absract. Just coming from the anti-“tankie” left.
BTW, I think lemmy.ml would do well to stop deleting comments like the linked one or banning the people who write them. It ends up cleaning up their histories. Also it ends up throwing fewer counterarguments into normies’ eyes. People read and think. If one has heard all their life that Chinese people can’t wait to be liberated and they see the opinion poll you posted there, something cracks. Speaking from experience.
I tend to agree, but moderation becomes a nightmare for the Lemmy.ml admins and mods. That’s why they overwhelmingly tend to use temp bans, I believe. I don’t fault the Lemmy.ml mods and admins for it, they tend to be pretty leniant until the ableism/homophobia/bigotry comes out.
Horseshoe never made sense, so it’s impressive they made something even dumber than it

That’s the point of it. It’s satire of the horseshoe theory.
OP is posting it unironically, fully seriously, with no satire. OP has equated communists to Nazis and said “tankie fucks deserve to get their heads bashed in.” Extremely aggressive 100% of the time whenever they encounter a Marxist of any sort.

Yep, it’s always a funny contradiction.

Saying the quiet part out loud?
Sorry what’s the quiet part? I’m confused.

It’s supposed to be but see way to many using it as a serious thing, just like horseshoe
