    Can we not increase the visibility of someone this disturbed?

    I understood the purpose of this community to be to catalog and pick apart the poorly constructed hypocrisies of the tankies that plague this platform, and, sure, find solidarity in having some laughs at their expense while we do it. This guy’s posts are just sad and hateful. Deleting his posts/banning his accounts just to screenshot the things he says, repost them and make fun of him really seems to defeat the purpose of deleting them to begin with. There’s no argument to deconstruct, and no misrepresented opinion to catalogue. They’re just a sad human spreading vitriol instead of getting the social/emotional help they desperately need.

    I feel like, as a community, we should make an effort to simply ban and move on from people like this.

      While I partially agree, relegating them to the shadows hasn’t helped stem their numbers. IMHO, it’s time for scorched earth now. Quietly sweeping their shit under a rug hasn’t helped.

      Public shaming is the only recourse for this shit. Will it stop this degenerate loser from trolling? No, but it might stop the next one from making the same choice.
