The DM was a DM asking us to change our no tankies policy and remove the fuck tankies banner as it was apparently upsetting hexbear users. Apparently tankies view the word tankie as a form of slur. The admin wants us to ally as a form of "left solidarity"

Used as a retort to a "Soviet Russia and china saved the world" comment.

Yes, and then you did apologetics for a genocide by claiming it wasn't as bad because the victims weren't citizens of the state doing the genocide, which is:

simping for a nation state

No, I indicated that conquest happened. I never ever supported it.

Conquest happened on every square meter of land on this planet.

I also indicated an own-goal is fucking embarrassing,

And if you don't care about that, an own goal of that magnitude takes one out of the running for "elevating the world" or whatever.

No one is a hero, no one is forgiven. All nation states are trash, some just do trash special.

The only way this makes sense is if you believe in the concept of the nation-state.

Obviously I believe in nation states, have you looked out the window? The earth is covered with them holy shit. Doesn't mean I think america is "clean" or something.
