Welcome ex-Redditors!

And yet, on other Lemmy instances like world, people will fight to the bitter end defending Joe Biden's policy of enabling Israel. And if you dare suggest Kamala Harris was also going to keep supporting Israel, you'll be crucified lmao.
I guess genocide is okay if it's backed by a Western power (but only if a democrat is in charge).
Ah yes. Feel smug about your moral victory of refusing to vote for Harris while Trump glasses Gaza and throws people into concentration camps at home.
I hate what has been and is happening to the Palestinians. But as a member of a targeted group I do not have any energy left to try any help them while trying to get myself and my friends to safty. As I tried to tell idiots would happen.
Also, Harris could have been swayed by public opinion. Trump cannot.

Anyone who disagrees with their narratives is banned in hexbear. Ml was the default for a while so loads of people on there who have no idea what a tankie even is.

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.

Yeah, unless they're Western or western allied of course, at least according to .world

uh-huh.
instead of being sarcastic again, perhaps i could give you some recommendations in theory? seems you need it to understand that a human craves and needs freedoms from its state.
No, I'm good. Maybe you should share your theory with the statists on .world.

The opposite of western bootlicking is not Russian bootlicking.
The irony of this is that not being a western bootlicker does automatically make you a Russian bootlicker, according to the people complaining about the "tankie triad".

Ok, I think I'm comfortable resting my case that you contorting the meaning of the word 'communist' beyond reason.
-
Communism is a flavor of authoritarianism. You can't tell me that the USSR valued freedom.
Nah, that stuff is the Dictatorship Of The Proletariat, which is a supposed way to Communism, rather than Communism itself, and as the "dictatorship" in the name indicates, it's an authoritarian regime.
The valid criticism of Communism is not that it's authoritarian is that in over a century all countries who tried to get there took the authoritarian path and not a single one ever left that staged and reached Communism - in other words, maybe Communism is a unachieveable ideal.

This is why I'm glad I'm on lemme.ee, and I have the option to choose for myself as they don't really defederate any of the main instances.
As far as it goes, I'm just here for good memes and good conversation. Anytime someone goes into tankie territory, I just go to another thread. Live and let live, even if I disagree (until someone verges into nazi territory).
This is why I’m glad I’m on lemme.ee, and I have the option to choose for myself as they don’t really defederate any of the main instances.
In this case the choice isn't yours. I'm not aware of any server that defederated from Beehaw. Beehaw was the one that blocked most everyone else. They could choose to block lemm.ee if they wanted to for any reason.

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.

- I need to start learning Finnish?
Good luck with that buddy. Look up "kuusi palaa".

How else are they going to find an audience for their huge list of irrelevant copy-pasted bullet points?
-
We have Ukrainian/Uyghur genocide denial!
-
This seems like an odd message considering that Lemmy, as software, is being praised here; and what is being criticized are instances wherein the admins enforce apologism for authoritarian regimes.
If someone writes a program you like, it means they've got good political ideas. /s
-
Tankies aren't communists.
Dude you know what I mean, don't be the ACKSHUALLY guy
-
Okay, but where is the instance that is trying to model itself after slashdot? (I feel old)
Best I can do is act like a slashdotter:
This general idea has already failed elsewhere. What you want can't work.
-
The USA, Israel, Russia, and China all support genocide.
Now you say it.
