The tones are real, but the generalizations are too general to be accurate. I personally don't have to block to ignore someone, and worst case I just tag them. Everyone's opinion has merit if anger isn't involved. It keeps me out an echo chamber if I'm forced to critically evaluate people's views
I have no idea what that's supposed to mean. The generalisations are the point, the tankies grouped together because everywhere else they are challenged. Lemmy only exist because they got kicked off Reddit for being asshats.
If anger wasn't involved tankies wouldn't exist. They don't operate on logic, they operate on emotion. That's like saying that Genghis Khan was ok, as long as you ignore the murdering.
I feel like maybe you haven't really interacted with them very much. I'll give you an example of an interaction with them.
You: it would be really nice of the Russians if they could just stop invading other countries.
Them: Banned
∆ but much more aggressively and much more rudely
Ok, you're right. That entire instance is tankie garbage
