If I were criticizing various nations more than the U.S., I wouldn't shame people for "authoritarian bootlicking". Glass houses and all that.
Everyone already shits on the US including us Americans.
It's far worse to shit on the US/West and simultaneously turn a blind eye to the atrocities of China or Russia

Is Lemmy.ml really that bad? I haven't spent enough time on lemmy to know yet.
You could also check out [email protected]
But you'll need to look at it off the .ml instance because .ml blocks that comm specifically (talk about censorship lmao)

Please enlighten us, vagueposter, what does it explain?

Oh are we doing the no true Pol Pot supporter thing now?

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.

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"
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 Marxist–Leninist 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 right‐wing factions as well.
Bro over here just propagandaposting

Maybe someday, .world is 2/3rds of the way there!

Your views seem to coincide with Russian propaganda.
You know who else was a vegetarian? Hitler.
Views stand of their own merits irrespective of such coincidences.

Please explain how you think that article relates to anything that has been said in this thread. No one other than you has tried to draw an equivalence between the holocaust and any other genocide.

Yea lets.
He's saying Ukraine is Nazi, pretty directly, to justify Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine.
Pretty different from saying someone is Hitler because they're vegetarian. So different in fact one might be inclined to think you weren't actually making an argument in good faith, but strawmanning mine.

If you want to say transphobic slurs you're welcome to rot your brain on Facebook or use X (the everything app).

As I explained to another person, I have no phobias. Much like homophobic, the term would suggest I have an unreasonable fear. I am perhaps a bit claustrophobic. The LGBTQ community needs to attach a more accurate insult to people they want to dis.

Yeah, we have nationalists here who also try to claim their spin on a Third Reich symbol has an alternate meaning.
The ones here do the same thing, pretending to be freedom loving fighters who don’t realize they’re walking around with a Nazi dick in their mouth.

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.

If it’s a pejorative term, then you’re not building the justification for its usage that you think you are.

You still can't say "fuck Putin I hope he dies". I can, just like I can say "I hope all Nazis die". Guess you just "can't even imagine fighting Russians and Nazis".
Literally every word out of your mouth is an admission. You're a nationalist, that's why you keep avoiding admitting Russian war crimes. I criticise Finland all the time. Unlike you, I don't have a preferred flavour of injustice. You're just a coward who doesn't dare to speak up against the injustice in your country because you're literally shaking in your little panties that you'll be picked up from the street and vanished. You know, since your country does that shit regularly.
Hey, look at how fucking NAZI Russia is;

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borisovka,_Borisovsky_District,_Belgorod_OblastAll those fucking Nazi symbols in your military and localities. Why is Russia so fucking Nazi, man, do explain? You know, since me and my family have actually fought Nazis, unlike you. You're so sore and angry you can't even answer a simple yes or no question; did Russia illegally invade Ukraine and still commits horrific war crimes there? (The point here is to show to people just how desperately people like you avoid answering shit like that and just how ubiquitous cowardly Russian Putin lovers are on Lemmy, especially .ml hexgrad etc)
