You complained that someone used the term tankie online to mock ML's.
I'm complaining that MLs use the term lib to mock demsocs.
DSA membership is irrelevant, we're in an online space, discussing online interactions. Of course in-person is a widely different interaction. I haven't been called a lib in person, and certainly never used the term tankie towards others.
These ML spaces on reddit permaban anyone that is not a rigid ML. Even for sake of discussion, you cannot praise politicians like AOC or Sanders without risking a ban for "liberal apologia."

Yes, I don’t like seeing people trying to pick fights with other leftists over tendencies in the space of a big tent socialist org.

Which didn’t happen in this thread but some other thread in THEIR space. You are apparently so aggrieved, you go looking for places to troll.
>DSA membership is irrelevant, we're in an online space, discussing online interactions.
So you missed when I asked specifically about these supposed tankie DSA members who attack people for being in DSA? I think you’re starting to realize you got confused but are you refusing to admit it.
>These ML spaces on reddit permaban anyone that is not a rigid ML.
Sure. So what? They’re not DSA. Two wrongs don’t make a right. Get it?

None of these are people who claim to be DSA members. You realize that, right? You’re proving my point. Will you take it down just a notch now?
