I joined reddit on the tailwind, so it was all echo chamber, we hate newcomers, gatekeeping, automod frenzy, too many rulebreakers, too many rules, etc I could be wrong, but thats what I imagine it used to be like.

I actually tried to find it in your history because I wanted to see how unhinged they got.
I am just going to gently say this, tankie rhetoric isn’t really “politics” in the same way things can be in the west. They are praising, defending, and supporting governments that are hurting their own people to this day with authoritarian control and having citizens report their neighbors for any anti government speech or behavior.
I understand this is not a subject that everyone is aware of, especially with any nuance, so no judgement or anything I just wanted to elaborate in a kinder way than what you had. It isn’t weird at all you have only seen tankie on here so far, and of course you’re free to still be annoyed by it but please understand the context of why people are passionate about it! That’s all. I am sorry you weren’t treated with more tolerance though.
To some, it would sort of be like saying I don’t care what isis is doing or that girls in the middle east can’t go to school and honor killings are a thing in some places, cuz that’s politics.
