Welcome ex-Redditors!

I suspect you're right. I have a list of books I still need to read on this stuff.
-
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.
-
Communist is not the same as tankie. Lemmy probably wouldn't exist if the devs weren't communist
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.
-
I mean, they're only not the same because "tankie" is so broadly defined that it also includes anarchists and non-western liberals.
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.

Beehaw is like the Elks Lodge of the Lemmyverse. From the outside they look exclusive, mysterious, and enticing. Inside, there's just a few drunk guys singing karaoke.
At least that's my assumption. They wouldn't let me in because I refused to write a paragraph about why I wanted to join an instance that I knew virtually nothing about. Even the Elks Lodge wasn't that picky.
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.

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?
-
"Not all people defending their country are nice people"
"It's almost a genocide, but not quite, so it's all good"
Priceless. Do you think Russia would have had moral problems arming questionable militia in the first place? Because at least the USA did, initially.
-
Lol I made the original meme and text, I kinda just brain dumped the instances from the top of my head, the hope was others would chime in with their fav instances/comms and add to the list
Happy to report that Zip has been quite enjoyable.
