Now, we wait for cries of "NATOpedia!" and "CIApedia!"
I don't think you need to provide sources or preemptively defend wikipedia.
In my experience the kind of communists who want to shoot all the anarchists have a detailed knowledge of the history of shooting anarchists and talk openly about the fact that they'll shoot all the anarchists.
Also anarchists tend to be pretty aware of what happens when you oppose state power.
Wish I had the same experience on Lemmy. Honesty is not in great supply for the tankies here, who prefer to pretend that 'United Front' means something to "AES" states (emphasis on the quotes) other than "Oh boy, I can't wait to backstab everyone to my left"
Your problem is engaging with these people.
I've had a mostly positive experience on here, but I don't try to go hang out in tankieville.
I mean, I don't go to hang out in tankieville. I have lemmy.ml domain blocked. I don't go looking for them. I only pick fights with them to emphasize that their fascist shite is unacceptable and blatantly false. It's insane the level of lies they're willing to resort to.
They're a lot more rare in the places I frequent anymore. A year ago they still infested the place - including this very community.
