Bust out my spiciest one for rule. If it offends the moderation, than so be it.

a post about how many nazis remained in positions of power is made, the op is called a tankie and people defend the decision to keep nazis around

    /r/196 used to be really progressive, political, and openly left wing.

    My gut tells me that the "anti tankie" discourse there was entirely fabricated / astro-turfed by Langley.

      Yeah when CTH was still alive 196 was genuinely good.

      It went to ratshit afterwards. CTH was killed, tankiejerk appeared and 196 then started doing anti-tankie stuff. The entire anti-tankie discourse ramped up at that time.

      yeah the usual explanation that it's just know-it-all yank teenagers really isn't convincing to me. even to the dorkiest friendless reddit 14 year old there's nothing cool about bein a NATO lib.

        yeah i used to post there pretty frequently back from the 195 days and i remembered the anti tankie stuff just started popping up out of nowhere over the course of just two weeks at one point.
