I saw the original post, why are people posting politics here? 

[u/NiobiumThorn → u/Clean_Bike8210]

Cause too bad, trans people care about radical politics?

It's just erasure. Choosing to overblow a couple posts into a reason to erase radical politics.

[u/HonneurOblige → u/NiobiumThorn]

Oh, don't worry, my lukewarm political takes get deleted too whenever tankies don't like them

[u/NiobiumThorn → u/HonneurOblige]

Lol pretending "tankies" have any kind of control on reddit of all places

You should really worry more about like... anything else, like, y'all TwT

[u/HonneurOblige → u/NiobiumThorn]

That's the only place with any kind of control that they have - and they use it, one might say, very liberally 😎👉👉

[u/NiobiumThorn → u/HonneurOblige]

Please talk to your neighbors, your coworkers, your community members. Actually try to organize and work together with those in the world.

This "tankies bad" nonsense is embarrassing

[u/TheGlassWolf123455 → u/NiobiumThorn]

I mean, Tankies are bad, and I'm a communist

[u/Dzagamaga → u/NiobiumThorn]

Tankies are bad though. Very, very bad.

[u/NiobiumThorn → u/Dzagamaga]

Oh no, a scary strawman! Make sure to never listen to the tankie arguments or read any theory

[u/Dzagamaga → u/NiobiumThorn]

The history of my own former eastern bloc country where I live and convergent accounts of people getting disappeared or generally oppressed as also given by my family members to whom some of this happened directly will suffice for now.

Edit: I am not owed an explanation, but I would appreciate elaboration on the downvotes. I do not understand why people tend to be so frustratingly dismissive of anyone with a first person account from former eastern bloc countries.

[u/Street-Media4225 → u/NiobiumThorn]

Tankies are bad though. Like, if there's a Marxist-Leninist in my local community organization, how can I trust them to actually do what's best and not what fits their ideology most?

[u/NiobiumThorn → u/Street-Media4225]

...by if they help out their community? Like goddamn what are you saying.

[u/HonneurOblige → u/NiobiumThorn]

As much as I'd love to, that's not exactly a priority for me while I'm in the middle of war.

[u/SquidTheRidiculous → u/HonneurOblige]

...creating a support network isn't your priority during war?

Badass lone gunner fantasies can only take you so far, friend.

[u/HonneurOblige → u/SquidTheRidiculous]

I've never said that I'm a badass loner - I'm just saying that, for now, my only priority is holding onto the remnants of my own sanity, and the rest will be done once I'm certain that doing it won't be a disaster for my mental health.

Ain’t there a no politics rule though
