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!

[-] Blursty@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

The only state with concentration camps in the real world is the USA and its colony in Palestine.

[-] ComradeKhoumrag@infosec.pub 42 points 1 year ago

USA is absolutely a huge hypocrite. But that doesn't mean other countries are justified for doing the same

[-] Someboynumber5reborn@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

I don't know how it's hard to comprehend that you can just dislike both

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.

[-] LillianVS@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago

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"?

[-] pinkdrunkenelephants@lemm.ee 29 points 1 year ago

Dumbasses who unironically defend Stalin and Mao. Left authoritarians basically

People that see Mao and Lenin and somehow think authoritarian dictatorships are democratic utopias.

There are far more people foaming at the mouth about tankies -- like a someone out of the 50s screaming about communists -- than actual tankies.

[-] astral_avocado@programming.dev 20 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Dark_Blade@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I’ve seen my fair share of tankies on this platform, it’s a very real problem.

Tankie is to the Left of me.

Russian Troll is to the Right of me.

Here I am, in the Radical Center with you.

[-] SasquatchBanana@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago

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

[-] figaro@lemdro.id 18 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Legendsofanus@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

I'm sorry, I'm being extra lazy today. I didn't know, I'll delete the comment :3

[-] Excrubulent@slrpnk.net 29 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.
