        Mostly to get away from the liberals, rightists, bots, trolls and capitalists losers.

        So while the tankies and the terminally online purity test leftists are shitty, it’s at least not as bad as all the bullshit on Reddit and they are a small minority.

            I mean, you can view it that way if you like, but I feel like if you’re being an actually reasonable person, you can acknowledge there is a big difference between a purity test that about some politicians policy on benefits for homeless people not being enough, and a purity test of not assassinating political opponents or just straight up being an authoritarian.

              So is this the “LA LA LA” you yell while plugging your ears to the actual tests ‘tankies’ apply to politicians usually having to do with imperialism and genocide?
