Welcome ex-Redditors!

Which ones.
-
You have to remember, the people making the tankie accusations consider anyone to the left of Joe Biden a tankie.
-
Tankies aren't communists.
Yeah, at this point the word "tankie" is used so liberaly that communists are just one type of "tankie".
-
What? Those are the three instant where I see the least denial of the US and Israels genocide, and the least bootlicking of western authoritarianism.
-
Communist is not the same as tankie. Lemmy probably wouldn't exist if the devs weren't communist
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?

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.

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, 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^
-
Yep. The few I see are easily ignored. Or poked if you want to set them off.
