Its just an instance where tankies can exist in an echo chamber without having to critically think.
If you want you can read some of my comments here and watch these morons make fallacious argument after falacious argument, put words in my mouth, and project some person who makes similarly bad takes which exists inside their head onto me: https://lemmy.today/comment/17304484

I don’t really remember that, but reading is always good.
Not if you’re doing it purely for clout.
I guess, but I don’t see how that’s relevant. Who reads for “clout?”
Your whole profile is “I’m a leftist theory guru”. And then you don’t actually have anything to offer when engaged.
I have never said I’m a “leftist theory guru.” I do read a good deal of theory, but there are many here who have read a lot more than I have. I have read enough to know when I see something wrong, though, so I try to help correct it.
I have no idea what you mean by saying I “don’t have anything to offer when engaged.” Further, if you think I read what I read for clout on a tiny, fringe website, then that’s absurd. If I wanted clout for reading, I’d go to Twitter or Bluesky, or even YouTube, where the audience is far larger.
You’re right, it is absurd.
I don’t know you, but I’m guessing you can find a better use of your time.
I do many things, I have hobbies, a full-time job, friends, a partner, and other responsibilities. If you have to invent a version of me that has no bearing in reality, I guess I just don’t understand the point of what you’re doing. It’s much better to be attached to reality.
