      No but creating a reactionary community in response to an anti-Tankie community is inherently Tankie. Posting there unironically is full on Tankie.

        Libjerk is legitimate, if distasteful in its scope (the sidebar noting even such figures as Bernie Sanders as ‘libs’, which is, at the very least, attacking people for taking society closer to the direction one wants it to go). There’s a long history of conflict between liberals, people whom some leftists call liberals, and radical leftists.

    I’m not seeing what this has to do with tankies. Nor did I see anyone saying Trump or his policies are not that bad.

    Seems like you’re just grumpy about being banned which I mean OK but it has nothing to do with this community.

      Theres a link to the post under the image. The community is called “The Democratic National Convention™ of Libjerk” and it’s implying that nothing changed between Democrats and Republicans on the topic of migrant treatment.

        I read all the comments there before commenting. Criticizing democrats isn’t the same as saying Trump “isn’t that bad” nor does that automatically make you a tankie.

        This is off-topic.

            Bro you’re getting downvoted but you’re 100% correct. People love to shit on Democrats here while hand-waving Republican faults as “they’re both the same party”. Super convenient for the party in power to not be held accountable.

              It was legitimately funny to me, it was honestly top-tier mental gymnastics to think Libjerk is anything other than Tankies parodying Tankiejerk. The gall for them to come here and claim some other political identity was being defensive over Tankiejerk is incredible.

    I think you’re being downvoted and argued with because you’re implying that under obama/biden, ICE wasn’t already a racist operation that would often systematically frame immigrants. Your original point is that it’s much worse now, which I would agree with, but you’re arguing it by saying that it was totally justified before, which I would not agree with.

    You being banned is maybe over the top but then again you kinda sound like a liberal, ironically in the lib jerk community.

      My apologies for not falling in line and agreeing Democrats are responsible for planning, building, and operating the Trump concentration camps. Clearly my belief in human rights has blinded me from the one true good in this world: Xi Jinping. All hail glorious leader! /s

        Go ask an anarchist if you really want to know but it shouldn’t surprise you that they’re generally against putting people in prisons and find all ICE detention centers abhorrent (ie “Go read the 8th amendment”).

          I don’t respect any anarchist who hasn’t moved somewhere like Somalia or Western Sahara, i.e. places with no functioning government and which are quite literally in anarchy. They’re all just cosplayers who hide behind a combination of privilege and ignorance.

            You have a child’s understanding of anarchism if you think “anarchy is when no government”. And to be fair there are lots of children online who do believe that.

              noun: anarchy

              1. a state of disorder due to absence or nonrecognition of authority or other controlling systems.

              You can’t “no true Scotsman” an argument by just saying that two textbook-definition examples don’t apply while giving no counter examples or elaboration why.

                That is a child’s understanding of anarchism. Anarchy is not Anarchism. There is nothing to “no true Scotsman” when we’re talking about completely different words. Its like saying “communism is when you live in a commune”.

                I don’t expect everyone to be well versed on 19th century philosophies but at least don’t be so arrogant about your ignorance. If you want to learn more go ask the people the people at DB0.

                Edit: looks like you found one and demonstrated your learning disabilities to them. Good job!

                  i’m sorry your fantasy political system where everyone magically works together has zero real world examples of success.

                  also calling someone out for “learning disabilities” is certainly a choice, maybe if you actually had the courage to back your ideology you could move somewhere that you can use the real word you want to.

                “Libertarian socialism” is a synonym for anarchy, in a political ideology sense; replace the latter with the former in your head when you see it and it will make much more sense.

                  Lmao that literally doesn’t make any sense and the fact that you can’t provide a single example of it in the real world should illustrate that fact.

          Yeah but directly before that is the community Libjerk, which is clearly the Tankies being defensive over and parodying Tankiejerk, so their belief in either anarchy or the 8th amendment is laughable at best and insulting at worst.

    Seen it on reddit several times. They infiltrate lefty spaces and try to take them over. db0 has been very tolerant of their bullshit so it’s only logical they would migrate there to avoid the stigma of having ml attached to their name. Actually I think I tagged a db0 user yesterday for this shit.

    Nvm it was a wtf account, coincidentally also a month old. Also a down vote in the 30 seconds it took me to check. They’re camping this thread lol.
