The opposite of western bootlicking is not Russian bootlicking.
The irony of this is that not being a western bootlicker does automatically make you a Russian bootlicker, according to the people complaining about the "tankie triad".
-
Well except for the Catalonians, the Haudenosaunee, the Australians, the Polynesians...
Ok, I think I'm comfortable resting my case that you contorting the meaning of the word 'communist' beyond reason.
-
Nah, that stuff is the Dictatorship Of The Proletariat, which is a supposed way to Communism, rather than Communism itself, and as the "dictatorship" in the name indicates, it's an authoritarian regime.
The valid criticism of Communism is not that it's authoritarian is that in over a century all countries who tried to get there took the authoritarian path and not a single one ever left that staged and reached Communism - in other words, maybe Communism is a unachieveable ideal.

This is why I'm glad I'm on lemme.ee, and I have the option to choose for myself as they don't really defederate any of the main instances.
As far as it goes, I'm just here for good memes and good conversation. Anytime someone goes into tankie territory, I just go to another thread. Live and let live, even if I disagree (until someone verges into nazi territory).
This is why I’m glad I’m on lemme.ee, and I have the option to choose for myself as they don’t really defederate any of the main instances.
In this case the choice isn't yours. I'm not aware of any server that defederated from Beehaw. Beehaw was the one that blocked most everyone else. They could choose to block lemm.ee if they wanted to for any reason.

Love everything about reddit but inexplicably wish to leave it?
Hate the idea of an english speaking internet that doesn't slavishly adhere to the party line of the US alphabet agencies?
Do you think the parable of the nazi bar is bunch of hokum?
Do you have shrieking anger towards people who refused to support genocide while having shrieking anger at (usually the same) people rejecting decades long debunked accusations of genocide made by the perpetrators of aforementioned genocide?
Join the lemmyverse! We have racism! We have homophobia! We have trans misogyny! We have daily 5 minutes hate!
And if anyone tells you different, have you considered they're a paid shill by the notorious gay sex haver Putler??

It's not authoritarian bootlicking if the boot has been painted red!
-
I'm jealous, I keep seeing them everywhere. As for the blocking, I've tried to block .ml several times but for some reason it hasn't worked. -_-
-
Yeah I'm a bit lost on why someone's instance automatically = their entire identity. Wouldn't that means 1) technically we are all tankies on a tankie platform and 2) I need to start learning Finnish?
- I need to start learning Finnish?
Good luck with that buddy. Look up "kuusi palaa".

How else are they going to find an audience for their huge list of irrelevant copy-pasted bullet points?

We have Ukrainian/Uyghur genocide denial!

This seems like an odd message considering that Lemmy, as software, is being praised here; and what is being criticized are instances wherein the admins enforce apologism for authoritarian regimes.
If someone writes a program you like, it means they've got good political ideas. /s

Tankies aren't communists.
Dude you know what I mean, don't be the ACKSHUALLY guy
-
What? Those are the three instant where I see the least denial of the US and Israels genocide, and the least bootlicking of western authoritarianism.
The USA, Israel, Russia, and China all support genocide.
Now you say it.
-
I mean, they're only not the same because "tankie" is so broadly defined that it also includes anarchists and non-western liberals.

FOSS isn't Soviet style state capitalism / socialism either.
