I will never forget that piece of shit Matthew Miller shedding a tear for the poor children of Ukraine during the Russian Invasion and then shrugging and effectively saying " its war stuff happens" when confronted with the horrific massacre of children in Gaza by the Zionist regime.

The Empire is bipartisan.

Not surprising most people who downvoted this is a .world user and piefed.world users

this whole community is pure liberal rage bait isn’t it? I am not complaining but you guys really do like to trigger

We're gonna start cracking down on the rage-bait posting a little bit.

Honestly a bit of bait is good. I have enjoyed reading the discussions that emerged in some of those threads. I see this post for what it is: bait. You could make less provocative posts but even then some people just want to read it as tankie propaganda.

Maybe we should create a community called "tankie memes" for when you do want to go all out and trigger people

Some of the bait can be nice, but in my opinion I think we lean too far into the bait and too far into "dunking." This isn't a condemnation based on civility politics, but a rational desire to focus on higher quality posts and comments for onlookers. Being as edgy as possible can spark constructive conversation in the comments, but constructive conversation can also happen with good agitprop that has a convincing argument within the meme itself.

Seems to mostly be jank doing it for the rage bait, pre-jank it was definitely more pro-communist but less rage bait focused. Not necessarily a bad thing, but not how I would do it either.
