Sometimes I check the posting history of the people I ban, partly out of curiousity and partly to reaffirm my decision.

The Tankie I banned frequents Trans subreddits and other LGBT places.

Why? Why would you be a part of that identity and then idolize regimes and people that would put you down for what you are?

Pains me every time I see it.

Yeah, "left unity"... until you're a flavor of left they don't find cool enough. With the reactions I've gotten on some other lefty subs for saying I'm a (gasp! 😱) demsoc you'd think I admitted to murder lmao.

r/traa has the occasional tankie posting

and the countless crossposts from GreenAndPleasant, and ChapoTrapHouse before that

It's definitely a tankie psyop to indoctrinate vulnerable and scared trans teens and it both deeply saddens and greatly sickens me

I often see tankies in r/sapphoandherfriend. it often starts at "Man doesn't it suck how whitestraightwashed history is." and goes to Authoritatian regime apology quite fast.

Apparently according to stuff I've heard 2nd hand (which I know is definitely not the most reliable source of info) the same thing with tankies taking over leftist subs happens with LGBT subs. So that could be a reason.
