Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.
Rules:
- 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.
Curious about non-tankie leftism? If you've got a little patience for 19th century academic style, let a little Marx and Kropotkin be your primer!
Marx's Communist Manifesto, short and accessible! Highly recommended if you haven't read it

I didn't ask the first time, it was a invitation that you did not engage with. Your response implies that no, you do not.
The template comes from the movie "I, Robot" where Will Smith asks the robot if he can compose a symphony, to which the robot asks "Can you?". The robot is not saying that he can compose a symphony, just that Will Smith also can't. Your response implies that you do not understand this exchange.
I can provide further explanation if you need it.
I responded that I do understand your flawed meme, although from your comments, I'm not surprised you got confused by direct language.
you need help. ask for it
The response "Two-party voters couldn't stop them either." is evidence that no, you do not.
you're confused, so you're lashing out and making things up.
have at it. you'll tire yourself out.
There is certainly confusion present, but not on my end. The concept you've misunderstood is quite simple.
I haven't misunderstood anything, you're still confused.
Do you think Will Smith's character can compose a symphony? Do you think third/no party voting actually stops fascists? If the first, you've misunderstood the meme. If the second, you've misunderstood reality.
I'm very proud of you for trying to understand the meme.
you should keep explaining it to yourself. maybe it'll pay off?
Distractionary non sequitur. Which is it? Do you think Smith can compare symphonies, or do you think 3rd/no party voters stop fascism? It's one of the other, and both are wrong
distract away, it's not going to make a difference here.
I really couldn't care less what you believe.
You're the one trying to distract though. I have no time for ignorant children.
first you tried distracting people then you switch to baseless insult.
nice progress!
soon you'll be slapping the floor and stomping your feet.
I'll humor your confusion. Let's try this:
Explain how your top comment works with the meme template.
You're confused, don't worry about it.
keep throwing your tantrum. at least you're good at that.
That is not an answer. I can understand that your confusion metastisizes into projection, but if you desire clarity please provide an answer. How does your top comment reflect an understanding of the meme?
sure, try projection now.
see if I could care any less about your comments.
Let's wrap this up, then.
I say let it ride. People need to know who to block on platforms like this.
I'd go so far as to say that another dozen comments probably won't clear up anyone still on the fence.
Still not an answer.
that's a symptom of your general confusion.
if you answered comments honestly, you'd probably be able to come up with an answer.
