    Define amazing take. Defending Tankies isn’t allowed on this community.

      Either useful non political information or takes so comically bad they can’t hold any water. Mostly the later.

      Why is this community so pro censorship? People here complain about tankie mods deleting comments and then the mods of this community are eager to remove anything they don’t like. Correct me if I am wrong but you only seem to allow comments that follow your political agenda.

      I don’t see anything wrong with discussion as long as it isn’t name calling or getting out of hand.

        You are wrong.

        I absolutely loathe American politics and I hate seeing it, but allow it. I also don’t like capitalism, but I allow posts defending it. I also don’t like hearing about the Israel-Palestine conflict, but I allow it.

        You’ll find that this community is one of the more open communities across Lemmy regarding political discussion. There is also a warning system in place in this community where you’re given warnings before any action, and that action is usually, at most, a week ban. There has never been a permanent ban issued in this community except for in the most special cases, such as brigading.

        Tankies, like all extremists, will typically say something agreeable like, “Landlords and CEOs are bad people.” And that allows them to look moderate. What they don’t say is their more disturbing views, that they wish to kill people they disagree with and their love of authoritarianism, antisemitism and general bigotry and hatred towards minorities.

        There is also a thread dedicated for Tankies to discuss their ideas freely, but it was unfeatured because none of them used it. If you wish, I can refeature it, but I guarantee you it won’t be used.
