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
Why don’t you define it if you know it so well? I’m looking through this comment chain and the only thing you have been doing is deflecting or jumping to another topic, while asking bad faith questions.
The other guy could at least be bothered to give his definition, it might be the wrong one, but I ain’t reading a counter definition.
You’re thinking of literal fascist anti-communist propaganda and using a very basic knowledge of anything leftist/communist-related to fill-in the rest
Exactly what I was referring to… A bunch of the same old tired talking points that you’ve never actually bothered to look into.
"The US has basically lied since its founding, but they would NEVER lie to ME about Stalin or the USSR. And I know this because I saw a whole tiktok video once and a meme that said “commie bad”
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.

You should reread that reply.
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

Yeah, communist authoritarianism is not a thing.

Was Stalin authoritarian? If massive purges to consolidate power aren’t authoritarian, I don’t know what is.

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)
