They also seem to have learned a new word to use instead of "Tankie": ML

Screenshot of a Curated Tumblr Lemmy post, which itself shares a tumblr sceeenshot: Hot take of the day a worrying number of leftists are just Evangelical Christians with the numbers filed off. The world is sinful/a capiralist hellscape, but we just have to wait until the Second Coming/Revolution when everything will be magically fixed. Any attempt to make actual progress makes you a lukewarm Christian/liberal anything less than the apocalypse/revolution, which we are forever waiting for by the way, is completely useless. Also consuming certain media or making certain lifestyle choices is sinfull and unchristian/bad praxis

    The Kingdom of Conscience will be exactly as it is now. Moralists don't really have beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child's toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded. Centrism isn't change — not even incremental change. It is control. Over yourself and the world. Exercise it. Look up at the sky, at the dark shapes of Coalition airships hanging there. Ask yourself: is there something sinister in moralism? And then answer: no. God is in his heaven. Everything is normal on Earth.
