All the people constantly complaining about "tankies" and "commies": You are the problem. Normal people are repulsed by that shit. The only reason you don't see more pushback against it is because nobody wants to get inundated with pedo-nazis trying to draw them into a debate where they're either forced to side with literal nazis or the worst strawmen of socialism that they can think up, where if they back down or stand up for their values at any point, they get targeted for harassment. I deal with that shit regularly because I'm built for it. Most people aren't.

100% agree. At least we can tag people (unsure if it's client-side feature of Sync or whatever), so there's that.

Fine by me. You'll find a place willing to cater to your more reactionary tendencies, just good luck finding one that doesn't also cater to nazis.
