All Tankies are Anarchists as long as that Anarchy is in a Western World Power.

Those are pretty tame criticisms of the CCP to ban, it sounds like you just made that user's argument for them.
-
everyone keeps telling me my instance is full of tankies but im not seeing it. i when i made my account this was the only instance.

Tankies say that shit but they don't mean it. They could easily support and promote socialism in Western Nations but they don't, instead the promote people like Donald Trump and try to convince people to resort to violence to tear it all down.
To them, real socialism is the enemy. "Communism" just means Eastern Power and "Capitalism" just means Western Power, it's political tribalism at its core.

We are actually defederated from 2 of them on World, but Lemmy.ml is also the community run by Lemmy code contributors so a lot of people are hesitant to let it go.
It's got my vote, though, fuck em.

The f-slur is defined as referring to gay men, but people also use it to insult straight men by suggesting that they're gay. In the same way, "tankie" may be defined as a particular type of communist, but it is deployed against people who don't fit the definition to imply that they do.
This is how basically all insults work, don't play dumb. The definition is something assumed to be bad, and the way it's used is to suggest the person meets that definition.

Beehaw is like the Elks Lodge of the Lemmyverse. From the outside they look exclusive, mysterious, and enticing. Inside, there's just a few drunk guys singing karaoke.
At least that's my assumption. They wouldn't let me in because I refused to write a paragraph about why I wanted to join an instance that I knew virtually nothing about. Even the Elks Lodge wasn't that picky.
They still federate with some instances. They're just like everyone else, but have strict rules about not being a jerk.

Just say you're fine with bigotry as long as white dudes benefit in the way you want, it's a lot faster and more intellectually honest.
Just say you're fine with capitalism as long as lgbtq people are addressed in the way you want, it's a lot faster and more intellectually honest.

Cool! I also made a reading list linked on my profile you can check if you want to compare, but not super necessary.
I'll do that, thanks. I like challenging reads and have sadly misplaced my e-reader, so my to-read list is backing up a lot.

Along with the cringe-ass people with propaganda terms like western imperialism and the such.

Sounds good! Feel free to ask any questions.

Why do you assume I'm believing Americans?
-
Centrists will find some new instance, designate it the "tankie instance" and repeat the process.

I understand, I know that neoliberals have a very hard time recognizing the humanity of anyone outside of their own little bubble.
Why treat them as humans when you can act smug they didn't enjoy voting for a milquetoast capitalist who only listens to the rich?

For good reason.

Happy to report that Zip has been quite enjoyable.

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.

Civil is only when you call out liberal hypocrisy and .world, otherwise it's sparkling marketplace of ideas.

Lotsa butt-hurt heroes of the proletariat in the comment section.
Throw your Molotov-sippy-cups nice and hard so the commissars can see, sweeties!

Please go back to your corner.
