You have been banned from lemmygrad.ml
wear it as a badge of honour
Lol we've already defederated them before their shitty ideology ever gotten a chance to infect our servers
Damn dude. What am I gonna do now?
It's facinating to see Lemmy go wild, kind of sad how many seem to support dictators with concentration camps and similar shit but also cool how many downvote them!
The only state with concentration camps in the real world is the USA and its colony in Palestine.
USA is absolutely a huge hypocrite. But that doesn't mean other countries are justified for doing the same
I don't know how it's hard to comprehend that you can just dislike both
The USA is bad so everyone can be, right? Cause that's your fucking logic
And China. And North Korea. And Russia. And Syria.
Yo so lemmy.world isn't run by tankies? If it is could y'all just ban me now so I don't invest too much in the instance pls? I got kind of sick of the constant cycle of disappointment seeing how many supposedly leftist subs were taken over and ruined by them on reddit.
It isn't, I do not remove posts for "Orientalism" like Lemmy.ml and that certainly won't be done by Lemmy.World Admins. Happy shitposting
What the fuck are "tankies"?
Dumbasses who unironically defend Stalin and Mao. Left authoritarians basically
People that see Mao and Lenin and somehow think authoritarian dictatorships are democratic utopias.
They're everywhere. EVERYWHERE I TELL YOU. Even on the largest search engine known to man.
There are far more people foaming at the mouth about tankies -- like a someone out of the 50s screaming about communists -- than actual tankies.
There are a few threads I've seen happen -- and instigated -- where I was overwhelmingly downvoted by tankies yelling at me about "anglo/western fascism" and denying the uighur genocide. They defend the Chinese government with a fervor that easily marks them as tankies. It's a real problem.
I’ve seen my fair share of tankies on this platform, it’s a very real problem.
What's a tankie
Tankie is to the Left of me.
Russian Troll is to the Right of me.
Here I am, in the Radical Center with you.
Tankies are not lefists. Don't let them fool you. They are statists who are nationalistic and will support fascistic ideology. The only thing they believe is America Bad and therefore anything that hates America is good. Brain dead
Yeah it's pretty dead brained. Obviously America has problems and I'll be the first one to point out it's flaws. I do my best to learn about them and be aware of them.
That doesn't mean that China gets to genocide anyone they don't like.
Do you really not know or are you pretending not to know because you want to be able to claim it's a meaningless term?
Also there's already an explanation in this thread.
I'm sorry, I'm being extra lazy today. I didn't know, I'll delete the comment :3
Okay, sorry, it's just often tankies will say "what is a tankie?" because of the reasons I mentioned. Case in point, look at the person saying "what the fuck is a tankie" then immediately mocking the person who answered them.
I'm sorry for my snark, I slept poorly and should probably not be interacting with people rn.
Edit: oh, looks like that thread was nuked so I was wrong about the question already being answered lol. I owe you even more apologies ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Basically a tankie is someone that wants to be a socialist or a communist but thinks that means supporting the USSR or Maoist China, which are self-admittedly state capitalist.
The term originally comes from people who supported the USSR rolling tanks into Hungary to crush their rebellion. Lately such people have supported Russia's invasion of Ukraine on the basis that anything anti-US interests is somehow socialist, despite modern Russia just being a nakedly hypercapitalist/fascist dystopia, and also despite the expansionist invasion just being like super obviously evil.
6 please
Stupid god damn tankies show up every time for these threads
I wanna see a mullet as an option. Communism in the front, freedom in the back.
