ah yes, thats right! there are only two sides, western fascism, or eastern.
That is indeed the .world attitude.

From what I can tell, this tankie stuff is bullshit. In the years I've been here, I've seen close to zero 'tankie' content from any of these supposedly tankie instances. There's like maybe one or two people on those instances who might fit the description if you search for them. Meanwhile, literally every day there are posts spitting on these supposed tankie instances. (And actually, it's again a very small number of people complaining - but they put their crap into cute memes to get traction).
I don't like the idea of shouting slurs at entire instances. In my view, if you hate those instances so much - just block them. Problem solved. No need to spew hate all over lemmy.
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?
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

Well except for the Catalonians, the Haudenosaunee, the Australians, the Polynesians...

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, 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.

No, I mean it's the new / local meme word to shut off conversation. And apparently used pretty much the same way right-wingers use it.
