.ml tankies are more subtle, generally sticking to posting their wonderful takes in the comments rather than overt posts, though they do that to, just check out yogthos’s wonderful posts over on .ml
Hexbear/Grad are generally more in your face about it, which is why many instances defed from them a lot easier. It’s also likely that .ml is more subtle about it to prevent a wider defed movement from taking place like what happened with Hexbear and grad
One thing I don’t understand is how they treat liberals as some sort of boogeyman. Like, I get that the Democratic establishment is a bit shit because they carry corporate water most of the time, but they are leagues better than the alt-right Republicans who are currently dismantling the entire system in favor of an oligarchy.
If anything, they should be sympathetic instead of antagonistic. But perhaps this is a way to drive a wedge between the coalitions on the left? But for what purpose?
Most tankies are accelerationists. They likely voted Trump not because they like him but because they believe he will accelerate the collapse of the US and they can have their communist revolution faster.
To that end it works in their favor to attack liberals whose goal is to prevent collapse of the current system because they know it will put marginalized communities at the most risk if that does happen.
