The DM was a DM asking us to change our no tankies policy and remove the fuck tankies banner as it was apparently upsetting hexbear users. Apparently tankies view the word tankie as a form of slur. The admin wants us to ally as a form of “left solidarity”

    There is no one to the right of authoritarians who want to silence dissent and use violence to right the inequalities in society.

        If we were at war and they were soldiers, sure. Otherwise it’s murder.

          I like this logic. Killing should be a last resort.

          Further, if I had a billion dollars to spend, I’d sooner spend it on organizations like Life After Hate and get them the resources necessary to deconvert and deprogram Nazis than I would on any iteration of our current system of playing whack-a-mole with their censor-evading code words. Or on some Nazi-killing executioner.

          I hate how quick people are to advocate giving up on their fellow humans.
