The whole article is quite funny, especially the lists of most used tankie words, or the branding of foreignpolicy as a left-wing news source.

    Also I’d like to think I did my part getting lemmygrad’s numbers up as I was spamming Genzedong with a macro telling people to go here as a lifeboat before and after the quarantine.

    Also I love how they didn’t connect us to the only real anti-pedophile podcast subreddit (Brace noises) or thedeprogram, guess we don’t have that many casual links but if they checked overlap it should be there. Sloppy work on that in addition to all the problems with methodology, definitions, etc. Hilarious tax dollars paid for this though I guess I’d prefer it over actually effort-driven papers and even better it might encourage other lazy anti-communists to cite them, creating a chain of weak links back to a shoddy base that can be knocked away in heavy discourse and leave anti-communists flailing and drifting. Of course the downside is actual policy isn’t driven by hard peer reviewed science and part of the purpose of a shoddy paper like this could be to give a cite-able pretext to say private companies on why they need to immediately censor “tankies” and any discourse that their shoddy, shitty, “ai-data-‘science’” says is related to that.
