      if you push anything remotely socialist you get hit with the "Ew tankie" and a ban slip

          like last year? people started realizing antiwork was getting popular and started hopping in to edumacate folks on the finer points of why their bosses suck and why they should collectively own their workplaces, and the mods - who refer to themselves as post-leftists - didn't like all of the socialist agitation and started bonking anyone redder than your gums. this culminated in the mod team getting shredded publically on Fox on a segment only terminally online people watched, and then hiring on two dirtbag powermods that fuuuuuuuuuuucking hated us CTH fellas back in the day and all of the remotely left anarchists that were on the mod team still either quit or got purged over the head mod bringing in those losers.

              I think tucker gave one of them the good old run-around by letting them say enough of their bit, then playing on public ignorance to let them hang themselves with their own words, and then taking advantage of their job choice while avoiding their physical capabilities to hold other more strenuous jobs to portray them as being a lazy entitled millennial that wants to sit and play videogames all day.

                  yep. shame really, the fella did say the right stuff, just a bit poorly worded. More proof that if you're not a media-trained person able to play word salad with the talking heads, you should avoid big public speaking events

        I don't think it's that bad. I've consistently had good results taking problems raised on there and framing it explicitly in terms of the internal contradictions of capitalism.

      I got banned for "tankies bad" because I pointed out that there is socially necessary labor and that if you live in the imperial core, simply calling for UBI is not sufficiently "antiwork" since much of that labor will inevitably get outsourced to the global south

        Tankieism is when you ask uncomfortable questions about where the treats come from and how they're made
