IIRC, this was posted earlier today on the lemmy.ml instance, and very, very quickly deleted by a mod.

…Which undermines the central claim.

They didn’t want anyone getting any funny ideas about tankies. Like that they weren’t braindead, authoritarian boot lickers.

I dunno. Have you noticed that the guy is portrayed as a soyjak?

What I mean is that lemmy.ml is an explicitly communist-apologist instance*, and that anything that is supportive of Biden, even when it’s solely about minimizing other harms to marginalized people, is quickly deleted. Comrade Dale is depicted as being a tankie that the soyjack says can’t support Biden.

…But it was deleted by tankie mods, because they can’t support Biden even if the only realistic alternative is many magnitudes worse.

*To be clear, I have no issues with libertarian communism; I think it’s great, and I’m mostly anarchistic myself, even if I recognize that pure anarchism doesn’t scale well to countries. I have a problem with authoritarian communism, and I have a problem with people that would hand-wave all the massive amounts of murder committed by Lenin, Stalin, Mao Zedong, Pol Pot, Fidel Castro, and many other communist dictators.
