[–] sexywheat@hexbear.net 59 points 2 years ago (3 children) /r/196 used to be really progressive, political, and openly left wing.

Could just be a classic case of “how did all this fascism get in my anti communism?” permalink fedilink source parent [–] Awoo@hexbear.net 48 points 2 years ago Yeah when CTH was still alive 196 was genuinely good. It went to ratshit afterwards. CTH was killed, tankiejerk appeared and 196 then started doing anti-tankie stuff. The entire anti-tankie discourse ramped up at that time. permalink fedilink source parent [–] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 36 points 2 years ago (1 child) yeah the usual explanation that it's just know-it-all yank teenagers really isn't convincing to me. even to the dorkiest friendless reddit 14 year old there's nothing cool about bein a NATO lib. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] HornyOnMain@hexbear.net 34 points 2 years ago yeah i used to post there pretty frequently back from the 195 days and i remembered the anti tankie stuff just started popping up out of nowhere over the course of just two weeks at one point. permalink fedilink source parent
