The hardcore tankies as just as bad as holocaust deniers.
Tankies and fascists have more in common with each other, and feudalists, than they do with workers/socialists. I’m convinced the horseshoe theory is just narcissism presenting across the political spectrum.
Only a fucking narcissist could believe authoritarianism, control, and subjugation are desirable. That’s why its delusions of grandeur and megalomania all the way down.
Just got majorly downvoted on works for asking why free speech is a bad thing and the only response was a snarky comment saying I’m from 300 years ago.

Don’t be childish, you must know that going against the circlejerk/hivemind is a guaranteed downvote brigade on any social media site. But depending on the thread/community/server/phase of the moon, the hivemind can believe completely contradictory things.
