Wow that's super interesting. I just signed up for Lemmy last month and I just googled what to sign up for and .Ml was the first one that came up. Fuck tankies and fuck commies so I guess I'm definitely going to get lumped into them for now. Oh well

Fuck tankies and fuck commies

...said the citizen whose decaying world is governed by the sworn enemies of communism: fascists.

[-] Tieas@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 weeks ago

It's almost like fascism and communism are both bad and being a true neutral Chad is the only way forward in life. Grill baby grill

[-] AES_Enjoyer@reddthat.com 4 points 2 weeks ago

Really committed to the bit, I see

[-] undeffeined@lemmy.ml 12 points 2 weeks ago

Oh wow, I guess I'm on the same boat then. Signed up on the first instance I found back when reddit announced the API changes and did not realize.

[-] LittleBorat3@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

See my stupid username? I signed up to 3 instances one of them the insufferable tankie hellhole called ML

[-] pixeltree 7 points 2 weeks ago

Nah commies are cool, tankies aren't

[-] Konkyer@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

There is no form of commie in the world that libs won't decry as a tankie anyway. Don't bother playing into the word games.

Yea there is, the ones who don't glorify and call brutal dictators "silly boy"

[-] pixeltree 2 points 2 weeks ago

Believe it or not there are communists that aren't authoritarian bootlickers. I feel bad for them having to overcome the tankies image problem

[-] umbrella@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

they are the same thing.

tankie is just a generic derogatory slang for leftist.

wikipedia says its a generic pejorative to define marxist-leninists. so, just as i said?

bonus points for the AuThoRiTharian trope.

[-] cm0002@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

How interesting the actual view from Wikipedia doesn't line up with that at all🤔

[-] cm0002@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Nope, it is clearly defined.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie

Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support or defend acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the occurrence of the events thereof.
