Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.
Rules:
- Be civil and no bigotry of any kind.
- No tankies or right-wingers. Liberals are allowed so long as they are aware of this
- No genocide denial
We allow posts about tankie behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion. For a more general community [email protected] is recommended.

Wait, what? What's that first one? Is there some context I'm missing?
As a dramatic oversimplification: how dare you tell us that forcing domestic pets into a vegan diet is animal cruelty! We're going to make our own instance, with blackjack and hookers!
There was some stuff about vegan users being harassed after the "vegan pets" debacle too, but they're effectively "We need our own space where we can be as dramatically vegan as we want to be with no opposition".
are they as bad as the vegan subreddit was? It straight up put me off becoming a vegan because they are just such fucking assholes. I was trying to see if they had any good studies for health benifits because I don't find ethical veganism convincing personally. And they came up with what amounted to a slur to discuss non vegans (no it is not an actual slur but they sure used it like one) and it was fucking hilarious because carnist sounds way more badass than omnivore.
I've gotta incorporate carnist into a metal as fuck username.
