not every single poster in the pyf tankies thread was a nazi but theres definitely a project going on when you have a multiple hundreds pages thread full of people posting noted crackpots like phil greaves and red kahina and going "wow!!!! every leftist believes this!!!! every single one!!!!!" with zero pushback or anything lol. great example of why politics posting on this forum should be heavily curtailed because that was loving nuts. also great example of why i personally found it galling that "the sagas thread is unmoderatable and a bad fir for pyf" took off cuz like. the same people saying that were fine with the tankies thread for a good long while. kinda weird!

The thread in question was the "PYF Tankies" thread, which possibly was about that in the past but by the time it got closed it had been long coopted by Pharaohman to post the latest leftist politics poster on Twitter that he had a beef with. Just pages and pages of posters no one gave a poo poo about nor was it in any way funny or relevant.

no it was like that basically the entire time lol. it was never not about finding twitter weirdos and using them as a strawman for Leftism in its entirety lol. genuinely one of the worst threads something awful ever spawned

That's rather different than what you actually said:

the thread in question was the "post tankies" thread where the users posted tweets from deranged nobody communists on twitter with 0 notes and would get really hyped up over what they perceived as the genuine societal threat of authoritarian communism in America. do you understand

I'm not saying it was a great thread, all I'm saying is that it was not full of Nazis and it's pretty offensive to me when people normalize Nazism like that.

Edit: This is also an example of one of the few actually valid critiques of this thread that has been made, people can get really over the top.

This all went down in the pyf thread for nazis to whine about leftists on Twitter btw

To clarify - I would need a Yellowjackets scenario where I was starving in the Canadian wilderness and we tried to cremate you after you froze to death but an evil woodland spirit(?) knocked a huge pile of snow onto the funeral pyre resulting in you being deliciously slow cooked.

Then I would probably eat you (but definitely not that other guy). I mean, no pressure or anything but if you had to rate how delicious you might be on a scale of 1-10, hypothetically how finger lickin’ good would you be?

Yeah it’s legit p good and I was skeptical to start with. The practical effects are particularly good. It’s gross as gently caress and it’s never clear whether there’s a supernatural element or whether they’re all just loving insane. Highly recommend. If you liked Ravenous, you will likely enjoy this. It’s not cute or funny and pulls no punches. When you hit that point where you go “oh gently caress no don’t show it, they show it with like Tom Savini practical effects. It’s great.

2nd season has been kinda lame but if you like 90s music, they really nailed the soundtrack.

E: also the cast is fuckin’ great. Melanie Lynskey is goddamned fantastic, then toss in alcoholic Juliette Lewis and you won’t recognize Christina Ricci at all. Also Elijah Wood being absolutely insane in season 2. It owns

Yeah. It’s like a Lost episode until some guy’s leg gets trapped underneath the wing of a plane after a crash and they pull it off him and all that’s left is just a wet shredded flesh noodle. Then Christina Ricci saves the dude’s life by chopping what’s left of his leg with a loving fire axe and they show aaalllll of it.

Don't worry about it.
I don't believe if the whole PYF Tankies thread was nazis, just mostly shallow reposts of twitter nobodies. Pharohman777 was also a gamergater though so the nazi label might've applied to him at least.

Exploration is ill-advised.
And most of those twitter nobodies hadn't posted about anything relating to leftism in months by the time the thread was closed, they'd all gone full hog anti-vax iirc.

Part of the "fun" was watching supposed leftists become completely indistinguishable from QAnon antivax psychos.
