Would be good to point out these people you are mentioning are not all the same.
There are people that Are critical of Russia, but don't buy from western propaganda and are being called tankies too.
It is more like, if one dare to question the western narrative = tankie.
i.e. are critical of russia, but stand by even the most autoritarian, anti-democratic, militaristic, imperialistic regimes - just because they call themselves “socialist” or “communist”, except for russias invasion of ukraine
lol.
you meant UK, USA or both?
i was just quoting the other commenter. but dont forget about china, nazi germany, north korea, etc.
Yeah sure. So lets ban the USA apologists together with all these tankies?
fine by me. fuck the US
I agree.
idk what u mean by that. im an anarcho-communist. and imo tankies are very anti-communist, even if they dont want to admit that to themselves.
btw seens a paradox that you guys so "pro freedom" are asking for bans of people that you disagree.
it may seem that way, but no. pro-freedom actually means keeping people away who wanna take our freedom. i.e. authoritarians like tankies
what did they do to take your freedom? built this whole platform we are using right now?
just because they do good things too doesnt make them perfect
I am not arguing they are perfect. It is just extreme to ban those folks altogether.
Neither are we perfect.
i disagree. if you welcome one, they will all come and bring their friends, and then u have a tankie community ;)
oh right. Then we should treat them like cockroaches, right?
The Canadians came up with an idea you might agree, it is called "Final Solution".
fuckin hell im not saying genocide them, theres literally a fucking lemmy instance just for them. they can go there, tankies not welcome here.
LOL... ironic, since those of us how don't like tankies specifically don't like them because tankies are perfectly fine with mass-murder, and we're not.
Give 1 example.
isn't that the same logic that the tankies are using though - because they think they have to be authoritarian to the people who they believe are trying to take their freedoms i.e. capitalists?
a community not welcoming assholes =/= a state killing everyone who's in their way. one is authoritarian, the other is not.
what is your taking on Israel killing Palestinians?
That's a genocide, and the western world deny.
double plus ungood
