You're so fucking dense. You're the one making strawmen. Just because you can't comprehend my argument doesn't mean it's meaningless.
I know what leftism is, and I know that fascism is a far-right-wing ideology. I've stated that in plain terms multiple times, but you ignore that because it gives you an easier attack surface to pretend that I didn't.
I never said all people who are left-wing are fascists. I said tankies are basically the same as fascists. If you think all left-wingers are tankies, and anyone who's not a tankie isn't really left-wing, then you're a fucking tankie! And you're the one saying anyone who disagrees with you is bad, so stop projecting that shit on to me.
It doesn't fucking matter what ideology tankies hold, if their methodology is "kill anyone who doesn't agree with us," then they're no better than fascists! That's why they're functionally the same in my eyes. You're repeatedly ignoring the nuance of my argument to give yourself an easy target to knock down. That's called a fucking strawman.
Tankies are bad. But I never said everyone who disagrees with me is a tankie. You're just upset that I pointed out that you're acting like a tankie, and that's something a tankie would do. "No, I'm not a tankie! I just believe anyone who isn't a bolshevik is a class traitor!"
You're right about one thing though: nothing of value is lost when you block me. Good fucking riddance.
Hahahaha this shit is why nobody goes to your birthday party.
Birthday parties are overrated. I haven't had one since I was 15.
I thought you said you blocked me? Go away.
Look at you being authoritarian! You must be a fascist!
How am I being authoritarian?
My prediction about the ad hominems turned out to be accurate, apparently...
