I mean, tankies are kinda worse.
Edit: seems this post is controversial! Let me clarify.
Tankies are definitely worse. ๐ฅ
Meh, both extremes are as insufferable
No, they aren't.
Tankies are mostly just delusional victims of troll farms.
Fascists are... fascists.
No, I meant exactly what I said:

We were federated with them for a couple of days and their constant spam of insults and images makes them insufferable.
Fine, you find obnoxious dorks just as bad as genocidal fascists. I stand corrected.
From a governmental point of view, both extremes are responsible for multiple genocides so I'm not even sure which is which in your comment ๐ค
And I'm talking about Lemmy's tankies vs Reddit's alt-right, since that's what the conversation was about in the first place.
Fascists are... also delusional victims of Russian troll farms.
Honestly I find it kinda mindblowing how similar lemmygrad and hexbear are to /r/t_d.
They're trying their darndest to drag the left into the mud. They're pushing the same rhetoric as trumpers trying to brainwash young people Jordan Peterson style. The Russian government has a vested interest in destabilizing the US and trying to push people to violence and 'revolt' because that would take down the only threat to them. At least most of us aren't so stupid to believe these people are in any way representing the left, the LGBT or minorities. I was looking for an LGBT friendly community and was so saddened to find out what it really was... trying to radicalize vulnerable groups. Shame on them. Fucking shame.
One is obnoxious, the other actively genocidal.
Considering them equally bad is a self report.
So we're just pretending genocides weren't committed by both sides?
So we're just pretending they're literally Stalin's reanimated corpse, and that they're genocide supporters instead of deniers?
If you deny the atrocities committed by someone then yes, you're supporting them and their choices.
