This first comment appeared in the thread about ziq's new anti-work essay (that somehow managed to get stickied and not entirely flooded with hostility!), and I found it funny enough to dig up a little more. And oh boy, redditor tankie brainworms never fail to disappoint.

For one, this user had further complained about moderators banning their tankie friends on two seperate meme posts that reference the USSR. This time not specifying "Marxists", but literal GenZedong users and anyone who mentions Lenin. On the latter rant, they reveal their desire to force the anti-work "losers" to "clean shit" while the "actual dignified people" get to do fulfilling work.

It turns out that their meltdown hadn't started with any of these seemingly unprovoked comments. Just before they made these comments in barely related threads they had already posted a now-removed rant where they further regurgitate uncritically how polite society views the unproductive. Complete with "debate me bro!" and "long live Lenin!"

This particular redditor turns out to be an insufferable stereotype of a reddit tankie, even going as far as to self-identify as a tankie while simultaneously complaining about their debate partners being condescending about it (lol). Even the remnants of the Chapo tankies that currently inhabit Hexbear don't seem to like calling themselves tankies anymore.

Bonus cringe: "all protest is righteous - rioting is not"

Daisy posted it after proofreading it for ziq. It got caught in a filter, but Jack-the-Rah sorted it out and decided to sticky it as a "weekly/monthly reading" kind of thing.
