Welcome ex-Redditors!

How many times are you going to repost this and even edit it to turn it into an outright lie. I used to just have you blocked but this is next level.
-
Which ones.
-
ah yes, thats right! there are only two sides, western fascism, or eastern.
-
You have to remember, the people making the tankie accusations consider anyone to the left of Joe Biden a tankie.
-
Yeah, at this point the word "tankie" is used so liberaly that communists are just one type of "tankie".
-
I mean, they're only not the same because "tankie" is so broadly defined that it also includes anarchists and non-western liberals.
-
Do you still have several posts up wrongly shitting all over the place?
I'm trans and new to Lemmy. Can I have some lore on what's going on with Hexbear? - midwest.social
I’m posting because originally when I was looking to create a Lemmy account I came across Hexbear. I read the code of conduct and TOS and to me it seemed like a great fit for me. However, after creating an account there, it seems pretty defederated. Anyway I was curious on the happenings over there, because they have some cute custom emojis over there… but if there’s a reason they’re so defederated, I might just pretend i never made an account there EDIT: omg I just found out this instance has cute blob emojis too :3 ablobcatrave [https://midwest.social/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fblahaj.zone%2Ffiles%2F94f34486-e39e-404b-b605-b7be9dc95426]

Karl Marx said communism is stateless. Tankies are named after their support of soviet tanks to put down revolutions. That's the opposite of stateless.

Lol, well I guess there are no communists then, not even Marx himself, as no-one has achieved statelessness.
Also, what a stupid image, it's literally just horseshoe theory with "I'm on of the good leftists" liberal boot licking thrown in

Catalan made their own "state" that's not stateless. Humans need societies and structures, we aren't tigers, we're weak hairless monkeys.
-
The opposite of western bootlicking is not Russian bootlicking.
-
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.
-
They sensor criticism of the CCP
-
idk if i was too subtle but i was being sarcastic, its possible to live without relience on authoritarian fascist regimes.
i guess a leninist who dismantles and reforms Hegels words for statist purposes wouldnt understand that.
-
Okay, but where is the instance that is trying to model itself after slashdot? (I feel old)
-
Yeah I'm a bit lost on why someone's instance automatically = their entire identity. Wouldn't that means 1) technically we are all tankies on a tankie platform and 2) I need to start learning Finnish?
Yeah, hexbear and .grad seem to be mostly tankie users, but it seems much more split on .ml. The admins are questionable, and I've seen tankies there disproportionally, but since it was the default instance for a long time, there are also a bunch of non-tankie users. I think lumping .ml in with hexbear and .grad really downplays just how bad those two are.
-
Looks like I chose a good instance! ^w^
