Liberals use tankie like conservatives use woke.
What a waste of resources to grow this individual up. I’m sure your mother and father are real proud of you right now kiddo. Just dust that cheeto dust off and accept your rightful burger king crown
I would rather meet bona fide rightists than pot-stirrers like OP
This user is spamming this garbage everywhere. Look at their post history.
No lie, this dude is skitzo
Further division and in-fighting among leftist communities is a benefit known soley to the capitalist.
Is this where we dank on OP because they don’t have a clue of geopolitics but posts weird memes instead of learning?
Fuck right off with this infighting and division bullshit you’re pushing. What does this serve to achieve other than divide the left and prevent it from organising and taking action?
The only reason “tankies” are “authoritarian” (two words that have lost any meaning at this point), is because after seeing repeated examples throughout history where liberal socialist movements have fallen and collapsed to capitalist backed fascist militias and infiltration, they are willing to do what it takes to ensure the socialist state lasts long enough against counterrevolution to begin building the foundations for a truly free socialist society.
Even if that means a few dead monarchs, billionaires, and fascists along the way, then I have no objection against those whom you call “tankies”.
Username checks out
I agree. Tankie trolls really need to stop supporting fascist (might as well just call them what they are) regimes like Russia and China, while claiming to have the best interests of leftists at heart. It’s extremely divisive because people end up associating that fucked up shit with real leftists, which it isn’t, not by a long shot.
fascist (might as well just call them what they are)
Whether you hate them or not, the term ‘fascist’ just doesn’t apply to either of them. Fascism is a school of thought with specific ideas and behaviors which is borne out of specific conditions (consider WWI’s effect on Europe and the failure of liberalism in the Weimar Republic).
Communists take ideological analysis seriously, fascism is a real and re-emerging trend, not just some namecalling buzzword.
So did little Micron form his own hasbara outfit to post crap everywhere?
Firstly, how do you consider China to be a fascist nation?
Secondly, When since 1990 did “tankies” uncritically support Russia?
Thirdly, assuming you manage to establish even a remotely socialist government, how would you go about ensuring its survival against embargoes, espionage, invasion, counterrevolution, etc without ending up like Allende or Lumumba?
Fourthly, what the hell even is that graphic? Assuming you’re supposed to overlay the political compass on top (which is a poorly designed and arbitrary graph that doesn’t have room for nuance anyway), What right wing economic arguments do you think we promote? Because I’m pretty sure the abolition of private property isn’t something Friedman, let alone Hitler, particularly agreed with.
Don’t expect anything more than insults from a troll gratuitously throwing terms like fascist around and having a charicatural and simplistic world view.
Waste of time.
I’m confused. Are you saying that big business institutionalized militant, petty bourgeois movements in the Russian Federation and the PRC with the intention of securing capitalism at any cost?
I prefer this one
Shouldn’t compare tankies to Atlas, even if you’re trying to make a statement about your own narcissism, it’s really insulting to Atlas.
[censored] - rule 1
Still isn’t over yet.
Using the term Tankies has officially lost all meaning now that it is confirmed that the CIA was involved in the Hungarian uprising.
I would define it as authoritarian communists, who are supportive of the USSR and similar.
Just because the u.s is bad, doesn’t mean that they are good.
But no one supports the authoritarian USSR except idiots. So why is there propaganda against it?
It’s litteraly like doing propaganda against the French Empire of Napoléon. That stuff is dead and even the biggest moron are not stuck to it anymore.
I’m talking about the west obviously, where litteral nazi are parading in the streets and developing their networks irl and on social médias, and those libtards are doing absolutely nothing about it.
Have you ever visited .grad or even just .ml?
Yes. And I haven’t seen as many zealots there than on lemmy.world. There’s not as zealous as the liberals there.
The term is almost exclusively used by people who believe that US good.
I use it, and I don’t think america is amazing. Not going to say its objectively bad, but they are imperialistic.
So would you also not say Russia is objectively bad?
They are in no way equal, thats for sure. At least domestically, america is better. Russia is imperialistic and oppressive.
Ah yes, the USA, a genocidal slave state world-renowned for not being imperialist and oppressive.
So Russia bad but the country responsible for the modern day Holocaust receives nuance.
Thank you for proving my point.
ah yes, the famously not imperialist and oppressive USA
If you would read the comment that geneva_convenience was replying to, I said that the usa was imperialist. Besides, calling russia imperialist doesn’t mean I’m calling the u.s not imperialist.
LOL
Dunno about “lost all meaning”. The shrapnel from all the butthurt is spraying quite a few instances right now. Lulz.
Just glad to see ml/memes is getting a taste of its own shit for once.
What shrapnel, the OP crying in advance over all of Lemmy when his post had not even been deleted?
The liberal crybullying movement is growing. Their Zionist party must be rubbing off on them.
“Oh hey, another user fresh from Reddit who just learned the term tankie and wanted to cry about it on a Marxist Leninist instance… I’ve seen this nonsense before”
Yeah, another for my block list.
i don’t get it. i know it has something to do with communism or something, but i can never figure out who they’re trying to offend. it all seems so culturally divided to me that it’s almost like holding up three fingers or something.
It’s a low rent pejorative favoured by the ‘tolerant centre’ for anything or anyone to the left of MSNBC
Well OP spelled it out in this comment here:
“Waiting for the ML trolls to come out of the woodwork complaining about how I’m evil or whatever”
It’s just complaining and victim complex
Iirc there’s a community on .world that’s specifically for centrists to go into various leftist spaces, act like absolute pendejos, then post screenshots about “censorship” by “tankies” when moderators take action.
okay, so i just looked up “Tankie”. am i right to think this is just left on left political agitprop?
No. The people who scream the loudest about “tankies” are centrists who don’t think their party is far enough to the right.
They’re not centrist anymore because they purposefully side with fascists.
Siding with fascists while pretending to do anything else is what centrism is all about.
Talkies like to act like they’re the left, but really they’re the bottom of the spectrum.
Make up they’re own rules and hate everyone else, even if your just trying to help others, including them
Their preferred way of government you’ve never heard of and how dare you not know it.
You may think you have a good point, but you’re actually stupid and a facist.
i think i get it now… it’s just another way for people to hate each other. okay. thanks. i’ll be sure to stay away from anything mentioning “Tankies” in the future.
Why was I not surprised to see from your comments that you too have a personal reason to talk shit about them after all the times they replies to your nonsense comments? 💀
Tankie: noun
Definition (according to Lemmy users) = mean person who has counter arguments to my quick 1-min google search. And I can’t be bothered to reply (also because I don’t really know about the topic at hand) therefore I decided they suck and they’re not actual left (even though I’ve never read anything from leftist authors).
That’s the Lemmy definition of tankie for most of the times that it gets used
You should reread that reply.
Talkies like to act like they’re the left, but really they’re the bottom of the spectrum.
It was about talkies, not tankies.
You were so right, I totally misread the comment. Thank you for pointing it out
That’s a lot of hurt to be carrying around
Depends who you ask. I’d define tankies as in favor of ‘communist’ authoritarianism.
That’s the most common, and yet incredibly incorrect, answer
Mind elaborating?
Why don’t you define “tankie” or authoritarianism before, then? Instead of just sharing a silly meme and acting as if that was an explanation.
What even is communist authoritarianism? Lol
Not sure. This OP also went to comment on a 4 years old post in the “republican” community here in Lemmy.ml so it could indeed be a conservative too.
Regardless, considering how many of these memes they’re posting now, they’ll likely be soon banned.
It sucks that we have to deal with these kind of people that have nothing better to do
That’s literally what it is.
💀
You’re literally spamming anti-tankie memes everywhere on Lemmy in the last hour. You can’t also try to act as if you weren’t touched by this hahaha
Troll
Sad to see someone so dumb and brainwashed. My heart aches for you (lol not really)
