    If you tried to show this meme to someone irl at like a political rally they’d just squint their eyes in confusion and walk away because this kind of adolescent drama is only meaningful to like a couple of hundred people total, half of whom can’t vote and all of whom have 2k+ hours logged in multiple paradox games.

      Astounding. I never knew real life could be different than online forums. Thanks for the lesson mate.

        My point was that this sort of thing isn’t even politics, it’s more like niche fandom discourse. To be concerned with a hypothetical tankie takeover while living in the anglosphere is absurdly irrational and not a serious concern or topic of discussion at all.

          It isn’t politics. It’s a meme, shared by anarchists in an anarchist forum in an anarchist instance. Not everything has to be serious all the time
