    honest to fuck why can’t we have the future where the last panel isn’t someone being dragged away by nazi fascists OR some kinda tankie government

    and im a fuckin commie saying this…

    silence a bigot and he’ll take to the streets. give a bigot an echo chamber and with any luck he’ll do more online circlejerking than IRL marching, at least

      tankies are just red fascist, literally have nothing in common with communist ideology other than a vague esthetic

      Actually studies have found that deplatforming works really well at combating hate speech. Online it can radicalize people. IRL at least they learn very quickly that there is no silent majority at their back.
