Jack-The-Rah is super active on r/tankiejerk tf

It seems like this is the inevitable fate of every left-leaning sub that doesn't explicitly approve of Marxism-Leninism.
Leftist groups on Reddit are like AA groups that meet at a bar during happy hour.
I find subs that promote being "left-unity" really mean radibs who let anarchists hang around if they don't say scary communist things. Like r/dankleft or r/leftistvexiology
Lenin and chairman Mao had predicted this. Anything which does not explicitly oppose the social order must wash into the base of the present order. If it is not revolutionary it will be liberal by default. The power which dominate now will make it so.
Jack-The-Rah is an op, or acts as one. Their activity is almost explicitly organising and agitating anti-communism on the site.
I'm not exaggerating or doing a joke when I say they're an op I am in the 60-80% range of belief on this one. They're waaay up there on my list of possible feds on reddit.
Op or not, one of the absolute worst "leftist" accounts on r*ddit. Just pure dogshit.
Any propagandist who is smart would do this. A useful idiot is even better than another agent: they believe what they say.
As much as I like lots of the content, gcj is lib af. They counter jerk so hard that they often fall into defending AAA publishers and giant billion dollar companies like Epic
Once again thinking about that tweet that went like "if you repeat anticommunist phrases but replace 'commie' with 'tankie' you still haven't unlearned anticommunist propaganda"
You can always tell who's active on what political sub because they never shut up about it
'Tankies are the same as Nazis because People Died' is one of the stupidest fucking opinions you can have while still being something above cadaver.
The barest fucking research into Generalplan Ost would disabuse you of this idea, yet here we are, because the intellectual equivalent of 3 kids wearing a trench coat has discovered posting.
Ok, so Tianmen Square protests were a socialist protest now?
As far as I know the student activists were so bourgeois liberal that even the capitalist roader Deng Xiaoping had to send in the tanks so the students could not usurp the CPC’s power.
The protestors also burned several military officials alive and shit like that before any crackdown occured
How so? You could make an argument that tankie states are crushing dissent, but to say that they are crushing ”socialist protests” is pretty weird thing to say.
All the major examples I can think of (Tianmen Square, Prague Spring) were cases were tanks were used against protestors who were pro-liberalization, not pro-socialism.
Edit: I dunno, maybe I’m just arguing semantics now
Well, it's not necessarily convincing because you're the one who brought up Tiananmen Square. Those protests could be bougie liberal protests and "tankies" could be crushing socialist dissent at the same time, because no one prior to you brought up that specific incident. And there definitely is a history of leftist infighting, and considering the relatively greater success of "tankies" than anarchists as far as building large-scale societal movements, the "tankie" side of things does historically tend to come out on top of said leftist infighting.
All circlejerk subreddits are cringe.
Edit: yes, even the one you like.
Checked out mapporncirclejerk because it sounded amusing and the top posts were all unironic China bad circlejerking. Disappointing.
Also amazing how the anti-China hordes on Reddit still assume they're in the minority, somewhow.
