Yeah, I’m sure the problem is because I don’t think about anything you said…

You can’t just contradict yourself and then claim I’m not understanding the context.

I know that not everyone to the left of me is a tankie. Unlike you, I’m capable of recognizing that leftism is an entire spectrum.
A tankie is an auth-comm, sure, and maybe you didn’t say anything that was explicitly auth-comm. But you’re insinuating that Bernie Sanders, a leftist, is a right-winger just because he’s not as far left as you are. That’s something that really only a tankie would do.
Fuck, sometimes lemmy is as bad as reddit…
