    Sure, but

    • Lemmy == Lots of tankies
    • Tankies == Anticapitalist

    So I operate on the assumption that anticapitalist people on Lemmy are tankies. It’s not true in all cases ofc, but without more info, I think that’s a safe default.

    That dude calling my post “bullshit romanticism of capitalism” gives a bit more confidence that they’re a tankie with a strong case of grassphobia.

      Lemmy is not full of tankies, yours truly a communist.

      And your post was free market romanticism.

      Sure, but

      • Beer == Germans
      • Germans == Fascists

      So I operate on the assumption that German people on Lemmy are Fascists. It’s not true in all cases ofc, but without more info, I think that’s a safe default.

      And before you call my flawless reasoning stupid… I don’t really have anything to say.

        logic error on line 2: Beer == Germans

        Beer does not equate to Germans, rather Germans equate to Beer. If we fix that error, then it doesn’t fit the original pattern:

        • Germans == Beer
        • Germans == Fascists

        That would only work if Beer == Fascists, which of course is not true.

        Also, wrong does not equal stupid, rather stupid equals wrong. Which is to say, you comment is wrong, but not necessarily stupid.
