Had some fun with this. Rules:

  1. When a tankie post comes up, post a legitimate, fair argument. Do not argue in bad faith. No matter how nasty the post may be. Legitimately combat the disinformation there by going into their bubble and posting a sane response.
  2. Watch the responses come in. Especially if the post is on the tankie triad.
  3. Don’t feed the trolls. Don’t respond to anything, unless there is actually a legitimate attempt to have a legitimate discussion. Otherwise, start a game of tankie bingo to help prevent yourself from responding to the madness.

Suggestions for expansion welcome.

    Will always be hilarious that they take so much issue with highly politically engaged communists who say they didn’t vote Democratic when they live in a country where such a huge portion of the population is politically checked out. Browbeat the people who don’t know better, not leftists who made up our minds ages ago.

    Hell, leftists who didn’t vote blue probably bolster Dem numbers anyway just by talking to their chud family members and occasionally convincing them to be less racist or queerphobic.

      Something I’ve been thinking about, has there ever been any real studies done on why US non-voters don’t vote? Or is it actively avoided out of a fear of discovering some uncomfortable truths?
