      Help a brother out, what’s a tankie?

        Right on the sidebar.

        But tankies are basically Stalinists who call themselves Communists or Marxists. Their type of content is widely documented across this community.

            It’s alright! Feel free to look around the community, be warned though, it’s quite unsettling.

        Authoritarian Communists / Stalinists. Named so because they still supported the USSR even in things like sending in tanks to Hungary and Czech Republic to crush rebelliomns there in the 50s and 60s.

    Fuck tankies. I don’t think this thread makes Aiden look good as well… But they’re not wrong either? Who thinks they know everything? Like, if you hadn’t said they were a tankie I wouldn’t know what was wrong with the conversation.

    Context: I’m autistic, am I missing social cues or expectations or something?

      It’s probably likely they’ve been pestering their aunt nonstop about their tankie ideology.

        Based of the other commenter’s response, I took “need” too literally in “I don’t need to learn anything else.” thanks

      No one said they knew everything. The aunt said she is not interested in learning additional stuff. That she thinks she got life covered with what she got.

      It’s not social clues or expectations you’re missing. It’s reading comprehension

        “I don’t need to learn anything else in this world.” has the same meaning as “I know everything” imo. Logically, that tracks. If you don’t need to learn anything else, it’s because you know everything. “want” and “need” create two very different sentences. If she had said “I don’t want to learn anything else,” then fine, whatever, you do you.

        That was the process of reading comprehension. If the reader is missing context, and/or is unable to integrate the reading to life experience that’s a different issue; that had nothing to do with reading comprehension.

        I guess I was taking it too literally, based on your response.

          I read it the same way.

          It’s really a bad choice of words for a written conversation. Orally the tone applied to “need” would probably help. Also the interlocutors are familiar to each other and the conversation is probably charged with emotions.

          Either way not “needing” or “wanting” to learn anything else is arrogant

          For someone who has to proclaim to the world that they’re autistic, you seem awfully defensive on your reading comprehension. Didn’t mean to strike a nerve.

          Saying you don’t need to learn anything else. Is not the same as “I know everything”. She knows she doesn’t know everything. And that’s fine. She doesn’t NEED to. I don’t NEED to learn anything more about bike repairs. I know enough. Does that mean I know everything? No. Just that I’m content with what I know, and i get by just fine.

            Go google the six skills of reading comprehension. You don’t know what you’re talking about and I’m not going to sit here to do the work for you when you’re not ready to listen. None of those skills have anything to do with taking something too literally, you’re being ableist.

              You were literally unable to correctly comprehend what you read in the post. But okay, It’s not your reading comprehension. It’s your “autism”. If blaming that for not understanding rather than something else makes you feel better. Go ahead.

          On EH? Maybe.

          But EH is light compared to the neo-nazi instance. You can’t even access the neo-nazi instance through the others

            Yeah I guess they don’t really have the user base or real discussions. Out of curiosity have you come across q people in the fedverse? They usually had some good deranged takes on stuff.

    They also did a bad job at censoring their own name. It’s Aiden.
