From what I can tell, this tankie stuff is bullshit. In the years I've been here, I've seen close to zero 'tankie' content from any of these supposedly tankie instances. There's like maybe one or two people on those instances who might fit the description if you search for them. Meanwhile, literally every day there are posts spitting on these supposed tankie instances. (And actually, it's again a very small number of people complaining - but they put their crap into cute memes to get traction).

I don't like the idea of shouting slurs at entire instances. In my view, if you hate those instances so much - just block them. Problem solved. No need to spew hate all over lemmy.

Try criticizing .ml on an .ml sub and you'll start to taste the authoritarianism

I have a very different experience. When Hexbear was still federated with the large instances it was total mayhem. They would turn every thread political, constantly spam images of dictators like Stalin and Mao, and swarm anyone who disagreed. I've seen them deny the wrongdoings of China and the Soviet Union quite often, which is probably also what's necessary if you spam Mao and Stalin unironically.

I'm quite left of center myself, at least relative to most people I know in real life. But these people seemed totally insane. It was probably also a numbers game, since Hexbear was relatively large at the time compared to basically every other instance. So maybe this was just an annoying minority. But nevertheless I'd never purposefully go there, and I'd recommend anyone to stay away. It's way better than for instance a Trumpist/far-right instance, but I'd rather avoid both.

When hexbear federatedn with SJW, I spent a day arguing Russia invading is bad actually, North Korea isn't a democratic utopia, and China isn't a shining pillar of socialism. Then I blocked them all because that was exhausting. So idk if hexbear is still so tankie, but they definitely were at that point.

Love everything about reddit but inexplicably wish to leave it?

Hate the idea of an english speaking internet that doesn't slavishly adhere to the party line of the US alphabet agencies?

Do you think the parable of the nazi bar is bunch of hokum?

Do you have shrieking anger towards people who refused to support genocide while having shrieking anger at (usually the same) people rejecting decades long debunked accusations of genocide made by the perpetrators of aforementioned genocide?

Join the lemmyverse! We have racism! We have homophobia! We have trans misogyny! We have daily 5 minutes hate!

And if anyone tells you different, have you considered they're a paid shill by the notorious gay sex haver Putler??

It's not authoritarian bootlicking if the boot has been painted red!

It's not propaganda if it comes from the USA!

[-] hungryphrog 29 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

What's your point here? Are you automatically assuming that only because I'm against China, NK and Russia (mainly because the latter would gladly bomb my home any given moment and the former two would hand over weapons), I somehow think America is an angel that hasn't been violating human rights since forever?

Nobody thinks or acts like this

You can be critical of two governments at the same time. You don't have to love one to hate the other

This seems like an odd message considering that Lemmy, as software, is being praised here; and what is being criticized are instances wherein the admins enforce apologism for authoritarian regimes.

There are some real weirdos here that have this as the major part of their personality.

Always the same brigading, always the same repeating the same lies. Just for your sanity avoid .ml hex and grad.

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

You replied to a 10 month old comment of mine in a community I was banned from, lol. Sounds like you should just block those 3 yourself and save yourself the mental energy anticommunism seems to take you.

I see calling people "tankies" is the "woke" of the Fediverse.

[-] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 2 days ago

I've been called a tankie in the same posts where I criticize the USSR and Russia, or when I say China isn't inherently good or evil.

Tankies are to liberals what woke is to Republicans. Taking a term invented by a community, reclaiming it, giving it a new definition only used by them.
