“Trans-exclusionary radical feminist” for those who don’t know
I know that one. What's a "tankie"
A faschist with a red flag.
The term origenaly referred to lefties that supported the Soviet Union rolling tanks into nations protesting for democracy.
Modern tankies defend historical "communist" states and their successer states like Russia. They can often be seen glorifying dictators and denying genocides.
Well described, actually. And most of the tankies can be fought with actual knowledge of Marxism and socialism, since they try to pass themselves as all-so-knowledgeable of them and then spew the worst kind of misunderstandings of the socialist theories. Pseudo-intellectual edgy teenage-minded dumb-dumbs, in a nutshell
I discovered you can score extra points where you deconstruct their argument to the point where they'll call you a "debate pervert" and ragequit the fediverse
Thing is, they'll have so much unread communist literature around their home they're bound to come back. Much easier to jump back into the bearbubble than read those big, big books
I love getting fashsplained that I would surely understand Lenin's points more clearly if I only read more Chomsky.
Well put. They're another online cult where you just have to scratch your head and wonder how the hell they came to certain conclusions.
Another thing they share in common: gaslighting queer people into forgetting their history.
At this point I can't even be arsed to learn all the new words people come up with.
New? One (TERF) is 15 years old and the other first appeared in print in 1956!
Yeah, they wouldn't know that because they've been living under a rock this whole time.
Well for anyone who does want to learn:
Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminists, ie people who claim to be using their energy for the betterment of women but spend all day dwelling on their hatred of trans people.
Tankie: Everyone on Hexbear and Lemmygrad. People who love China for the sake of being contrarian but wouldn't last a week in China.
TERF: anti-trans for the 105 IQ point club
Tankie: Stalin did nothing wrong
.ml 乂 hexbear
I'm seriously considering setting up my own instance so I can defederate hexbear and *.ml instead of manually banning each community
What is a TERF and what is a Tankie?
Terf: trans exclusionary radical feminist (self explanatory)
Tankie: left wing extremists and authoritarian apologists
tankies are actually right wing extremeists
Lmao. Not the ones I very frequently come across.
Look at how much they care about worker enfranchisement in the totalitarian regimes they idolise.
They're just red fascists.
They use left wing populism to hide their authoritarianism (right wing). The literal Nazis did the exact same thing. We even see it in their names.
If you are simping for Putin/Russia or China, you don't care nor know what communism is.
I see way more posts complaining about these groups than content from the groups themselves.
Lemmy.world defederated from hexbear which is filled with tankies. That is why you do not really see them.
Whats ironic is liberals opposed to TERFs while supporting politicians that havnt done shit to extend protections to the trans community.
How can TERF even exist ?!
They very genuinely hate men and thus can't understand why anyone would "want" to be one, nor do they accept anyone who "once was a man." Once you see shit like "political lesbianism" thrown around, you understand that there's just no hope.
It's like a horseshoe from TERF to toxic masculinity, as both groups are terrified of seeing beauty in men (and all people) and have a very narrow definition of what a man can be.
