If tankies are right wing, liberals are right wing, not to mention those who are actually right-wing outside of your head-canon, who is not right-wing?
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

Is Lemmy.ml really that bad? I haven't spent enough time on lemmy to know yet.
Yeah, if you're pathologically afraid of actual communist theory.

Welcome! I am new too. Still getting adjusted to the federations and the "way" things are here.
Welcome!

I'm aware that to the far left everyone who doesn't want to abolish capitalism is considered right wing. I mean the normal (Dutch) political spectrum. Social democratic
Brother you literally cannot be pro-capitalist and be left wing.

I did twice. Just let go of the past. Embrace the future.
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

Never once said criticizing Russia makes someone a Nazi.
I never once SAID you said that. I said "basically saying", which isn't saying, is it? It's me saying that you're implying it.
DARVO is a reaction that perpetrators of wrongdoing, such as sexual offenders, may display in response to being held accountable for their behavior.
I've done nothing wrong. I've defended no-one who does anything wrong nor have I ignored criticising anyone or taken any sides. Like I explicitly already said, since the start of your "you seem like a Nazi for opposing Russia" childish garbage, I am Finnish, and in the Finnish reserves. We LITERALLY fought Nazis and Russians. I mention it, because you started this whole shit with such as asinine statement like "you can't even imagine fighting Nazism and Russia can you". My family literally has. Yours hasn't, I would bet.
Like I said, you didn't answer. You PRETEND like you've criticised Russia and say you've acknowledged the war crimes, but you actively avoid doing that. You didn't answer those crimes either.
You are a perpetrator of dezinformatsiya, consciously or not, so this is your "darvo"
Do you agree that Russia illegally invaded Ukraine and has perpetrated all those crimes I listed?
"deny, attack, and reverse victim & offender"
I noted that Russia perpetrates warcrimes. You instantly ignored that and told me I must be a Nazi and that I couldn't even imagine fighting Nazism (since I'm against Russia). Then you make yourself out to be the victim, as if you've done nothing wrong.
Like I said, you simply can't control your projection. It's hilarious.No, not everyone who criticises Nazism is pro-Russia. Just the pro-Russian shills who aren't actually opposed to fascism, but actually crave the authoritarian cum from Putler's tiny dick.
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.

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

General sentiment doesn't matter. It's when you, for example, point out that [email protected] is a Russian disinformation agent. He is literally Russian, he's cleaned up his profiles now, but when I started looking into that account I found several alts on other instances with communication in Russian. Like there wasn't even a hint of suspicion if he was Russian or not.
But [email protected] account adamantly insists that they are American "born and bred", while still literally saying Putin is right to invade Ukraine, denying Uyghyr genocide, denying Russian war crimes, posted tons in the run up to the US presidential election about "don't vote genocide joe" and all that "avoid voting no matter what" bullshit as an intentional push to instigate apathy in American voters to decrease voter turnout.
Him, antioutsideaktion, it's rather trivial to recognise them.
And the simplest way is to ask them "are you pro-Russian". Davel is afraid of answering it, despite clearly and vocally supporting Russian propaganda, even going so far as to literally say "reality has a well known Russian propaganda bias". I mean, literally.
And after saying that, he still won't say he's Russian. And pretends to be American? What a patriot, right?
He's a mod so he banned me from everywhere he could. Nowadays he doesn't really even dare to participate on lemmy.world so I don't engage him.

I think it's either trolls or people who have realised how capitalism exploits them, but instead of becoming actual leftists, they just jumped to worshipping another oppressive system instead. Lemmy seems to be very US-centric, so I think the thought process for some has been:
- America bad
- America says [insert communist or 'communist' country here] bad
- Therefore [insert communist or 'communist' country here] good
So basically, not being able to understand nuance.
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.

Welcome to lemmy newbies, here is your first official feud post.
Solidarity amongst the instances! We will not be divided!
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.

I'm not gonna be equipped to make a nuanced and detailed take right now but in my experience hexbears are alright, fun to talk to, I can learn things from them, and at worst they're spicy.
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.

Always the same brigading, always the same repeating the same lies. Just for your sanity avoid .ml hex and grad.

I get more and more liberal every time I see some self-described leftist call people a shitlib because theyâre slightly right of Pol Pit or whatever.

If just one person says your instance is a Tankie instance, it's just a one off. If everyone says/agrees your instance is a Tankie instance, it might just be a Tankie instance.
