MODERATORS
In case you're being serious:
A tankie is a leftist/communist who thinks "send in the tanks" is a valid and viable strategy for political disagreement (see tiananmen square)
A terf is a Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist, basically a transphobe who either is pretending to care about women's issues to hurt us, or has been traumatised by some past event and is taking it out on us
No, they like to claim they are communists, in the same way Hitler claimed to be a socialist, and the Kim family claim to be republicans for peoples' democracy.
Tankies are authoritarians.
Communism is inherently incompatible with authoritarianism.
Interesting article, thanks
Wait I recognize your username
I'm curious if you've followed the sources on that article. There's a few that are decent, but a good chunk of them are further articles and opinion pieces written by socdems and establishment liberals, which probably isn't the best thing for a trans instance that heavily pushes socialism, anarchism, and communism.
My experience with tankies online is more that they hate the West so much that they somehow think that all enemies of the West are good.
Examples: blaming Ukraine war on NATO, saying China is not all that bad.
Checkout hexbear.net for examples
9/11 is a bad day to be browsing Hexbear.
Or I guess a good one of you want to see just how fucked up the morality is.
Ngl I don't see anything that bad over there
I don't know what sort of person could be an active Lemmy user, on the Blahaj instance no less, and not ever have encountered tankies or terfs. Frankly I'm jealous
It's probably worth saying that these days "Terf" tends to get used for anyone that's anti-trans, regardless if they are identifying as feminist or not.
True, but terfs themselves are anti-feminist as well.
I agree, it was more commenting on how it has become a bit of a catchall term. Feminist or not, they're all a bunch of wankers either way.
The punch line was.... you know what IDC.
Edging. So hot rn.
