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.
I heard that they arent. Those be just the .ml ones. Its confusing since lemmy.ml and lemmy.world are presented as the main ones.
There are far more people foaming at the mouth about tankies – like a someone out of the 50s screaming about communists – than actual tankies.
I’ve seen my fair share of tankies on this platform, it’s a very real problem.
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.
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 love authority and are happy to accept facist ideologies, I think they are in the protest part of society that switches between left and right whenever its convinient for them! (We have seen that phenomena in Europe a lot with conspiracy theorists in general)
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
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
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
People that see Mao and Lenin and somehow think authoritarian dictatorships are democratic utopias.
Dumbasses who unironically defend Stalin and Mao. Left authoritarians basically
They’re everywhere. EVERYWHERE I TELL YOU. Even on the largest search engine known to man.
