And actively defend when their preferred side talks about having the biggest military budget and loves war as a method of spurring the economy!

Yes, go post anything negative about China and it'll be removed under Rule 1 guaranteed
Go post about tiananmen square or the uyghur genocide or even just you don't feel like people are very free in China with all the censorship

"Tankie" is a pejorative that basically looks like an exact replica of McCarthy's strawman of a Communist. The purpose of the term is to claim the accused that they genuinely hold those McCarthyian characteristics, regardless of reality. It shuts down conversation because it would be inconvenient to have those conversations, it's a thought-terminating clichĂŠ more than a real thing.
Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the occurrence of the events thereof

i agree, commies trying to claim FOSS is really a stretch, they are desperate to pretend to be relevant
-
Yeah, at this point the word "tankie" is used so liberaly that communists are just one type of "tankie".

Yeah, if you're pathologically afraid of actual communist theory.

Welcome!

Brother you literally cannot be pro-capitalist and be left wing.

It's not about past or future, it's about contributing to the instance that tests new releases first and helping the people that provide an alternative to mainstream centralized media
-
Ok. Definitely a bot then. Youâre just doubling down on accusing any criticism of Nazis as support for Russia, and demanding I criticize Russia in every single comment.
Shove that iron cross up your ass, and always remember that Nazi lives donât matter.

Um no, you and your fellow Tankies support Authoritarian communism
Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the occurrence of the events thereof. More specifically, the term has been applied to those who express support for one-party MarxistâLeninist socialist republics, whether contemporary or historical. It is commonly used by anti-authoritarian leftists, including anarchists, libertarian socialists, left communists, democratic socialists, and reformists to criticise Leninism, although the term has seen increasing use by liberal and rightâwing factions as well.
I for one wouldn't mind seeing the fall of capitalism in my lifetime, but not to replace it with just another flavor of authoritarianism.

Its not about lack of nuance but more about deliberately being a useful idiot because not everyone has the patience of someone like cowbee. Let me translate your example:
- Slavery is bad.
- Slavers say Dessalines is bad.
- Therefore Dessalines is good.
Now its 2025. Dessalines is long dead and we can safely say the free people of Haiti deserved a better leader. But back in the 1800s I'd back Dessalines to the hilt because I'm carrying absolutely zero water for slavers.

Um no, most don't want just more authoritarianism. Tankies are genocide deniers or look the other way on the many human rights abuses whenever the government doing it is China or Russia.

and at worst they're spicy.
Did not realize looking the other way on human rights abuses or denying genocides of China/Russia was just "a little spicy"

After numerous temporary bans, I am the recipient of a permanent ban from Reddit. In a reply, I stated "Don't ask, don't tell, don't say tranny." From that Reddit determined I am a hateful individual. As their conclusion defined them as dysfunctional and extremely judgmental, their offer to file an appeal prompted me to author "Don't ask, don't tell, don't say Reddit."
I know it isn't powerful and offensive, but since they are offended by a belch, fart, eye-twitch or hiccup, I am sure it will do to make my point.
Glad to be aboard.
