Why are the libs so hung up on criticizing socialists? If you don't like this forum then go back to reddit.
I’m a socialist but not a tankie. Criticizing tankies!= criticizing socialists

It's amazing the number of tankies and overall left-nuts I've found on here. Figures considering the kind of people that frequent FOSS spaces

Let's do a little experiment:
- Tankies are horrible
- Nazi's are horrible
- The US is horrible
- Russia is horrible
- China is horrible
What the fuck is wrong with you? Why would you put an apostrophe there?!
(ahem, grammar and spelling Nazis are also horrible)

See what I'm going to do is I'm going to make the nazis look equally bad to all these other things. That way the nazi atrocities will look less problematic and I get to smear my enemies with a tainted term.
No I'm not a nazi, why do you ask?
I can't believe it actually worked lol
you pushed back on my nazi apologia just like I predicted

You're trying to hard to see what you want to see in order to sound morally superior for Internet high fives.
It is clearly a half assed joke saying that if you call a group horrible, someone with get butt hurt and respond accordingly. Which in a round about way is exactly what you did. Any further reading into it is on you.
Just so you know, Nazis have used assertions exactly like what Zoldyck said literally since the day after the nazis were defeated.
One name for it is "double genocide theory" which is used to a) diminish the crimes of the Nazis/ even to the extent of genocide denial and b) equate fascism and communism (an absolutely absurd claim, to be clear. Ask about it if you're unaware!)
This is not something we regularly go around doing, we are very careful with what stuff we call nazi shit. We're careful not to make the word lose its meaning. This was an example of a common nazi/nazi-adjacent talking point, and we take it seriously when we encounter it.
Its just like "Blue Lives Matter" is thinly veiled racism. other examples include 1488, the 14 words, 'states rights', etc.
It is clearly a half assed joke
They may have thought it was just a joke when saying it, but the intent doesn't matter, because they may also have known what they were doing and did it on purpose, because they're a nazi/ nazi adjacent.
By being 'slightly critical' you do mean complaining about homeless people, right?
They were smoking meth. How safe would you feel around a stranger doing that while locked in a moving train car?
