Cool. Thanks!

I’m unclear what your title means? Is it like, mods are saying thinly-veiled homophobia isn’t worth moderating? Or am I missing it entirely?

The good news is, this sort of thing doesn’t reach the vast majority of Americans, since most of us aren’t hyper online, and definitely not on Twitter.

The bad news is, this rhetoric seems popular (from what I hear) on Tiktok, where the youths are. And if the youths don’t vote for Biden as much as we need, then yeah we’re boned.

Does nobody else notice this is rage bait about videos that were posted 4 or 5 years ago?

Just watched the new episodes that dropped recently. Cried several times. God, I’ve never had a show with such a deep emotional understanding and enduring compassion for both children and adults.

Bluey is a goddamn treasure.

Yeah, go for it.

Maybe it’s just the circles I run in, but I understand “tankie” to mean leftists who think Soviet/Maoist/vanguard-party styles of Communist revolution/rule were good, actually, to the point of denying any bad things they did/do as “Western propaganda”.

Given the red scare in the US, our ability as a whole to use any sort of leftist political labels accurately across the population is basically non-existent, so I do understand the frustration by both tankies and non-tankie leftists about how the term gets used lately, especially in produce circles on social media.

But again maybe that’s just me. I don’t know if I would consider myself a communist, but I do consider myself as a yet undetermined variety of socialist, if that helps at all.
