There is nothing left about promoting anarchy for your enemies and authoritarianism for your allies.
Hexbear does nothing but sit around all day sucking Xi Jinpings cock and praising Trump, and ML is just that but slightly watered down.
-
If your definition of communism is China and your definition of Capitalism is Western Power, then you're a fucking Tankie, as 98% of self identifying communists on Lemmy are.
-
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.

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.

Brilliant. The coders are tankies. That explains alot

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 capitalism as long as lgbtq people are addressed in the way you want, it's a lot faster and more intellectually honest.

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.

Because you imply it in this very same thread.
-
Centrists will find some new instance, designate it the "tankie instance" and repeat the process.
-
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?
-
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.
