I might be out of the loop - was there something that happened recently?

at the time of writing, this: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/104902 is the top post of 196, and the comments are fucking infested with tankies, it's kinda scary

edit: was infested with tankies! i mean there's still a lot of garbage there but luckily the mods stepped in, thanks y'all, we see u <3

Ah that makes sense. Didn't know that thread got that bad.

People who say left unity is a possibility are as dumb as a box of stumps. It's always interesting going to a tankie place and seeing people with lgbt flair talk up Putin, as if they wouldn't be shot on sight.

I can't understand the queer tankies. Like, do they believe that an explicitly authoritarian regime would suddenly have no need for a maginalized minority to target? Do they believe that they will somehow become the minorty group in power and will be able to target other groups? Or is just like lgbt cons who hope to be "One of the good ones"?

Tankies are almost exclusively western white people who have never in their life experienced living under an authoritarian communist regime. This includes queer tankies.
