    Oh, hey, this was what got me to first join the CTH subreddit. Someone on the breadtube sub said, “At least we’re not like those tankies at /r/chapotraphouse” and I went to go see how bad it was.

      lol same here! i was thinking it would be a 4chanlike den of depravity and quickly was like “omg everyone here is funny, welcoming, very much not like normal redditors, and the politics are good”

      none of that personal responsibility fallback that every socdem/liberal subreddit was oozing with that constantly alienated me.

      i didn’t understand marxism/communism but was like “it can’t be as bad as i thought if i agree with most everything here”.

      “At least we’re not like those tankies at /r/chapotraphouse”

      Translation: “I have reactionary opinions and got verbally slapped around for them by the mean chapo users.”
