Rules
- Any drama must be posted as an observer, you cannot post drama that you are involved with.
- When posting screenshots of drama, you must obscure the identity of all the participants.
- The poster must have a credible post and comment history before submitting a piece of history. This is to avoid sock-puppetry and witch hunts.
The usual instance-wide rules also apply.
Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)
Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.
Includes lore like how a instance got it's name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc
(New) This sub's intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don't get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama

I didn't invent the definition. They BELIEVE it's ok to do the things autocrats do. It's not a side effect or byproduct.
Ok, but that's hopelessly vague, anyone who supports anyone a person anyone considered an autocrat has the same ideology? So Lincoln supporters are tankies, Nelson Mandela supporters are tankies, Martin Luther King was a tankie, opponents of the Vietnam war are tankies, and based on your own support of actions taken by US Presidents, you're a subscriber to tankie ideology.
Again "liking someone you don't like" is not an ideology
Obviously not. Go do your own googling on the origins and common figures, regimes, eras, countries that align with the definition. I've shared my opinion, and even some info. I'm not obligated to educate you on the logical connections of labels and groups and ideas.
See, this is why I continue to conclude that "tankie" is just a pejorative for "person to the left of me. Because whenever someone who insists that's not what it means gives me their definition, and I try to apply it consistently, they instantly get huffy and essentially admit that they can't give a different definition that actually matches with how they use it, exactly as you've done here.
I have done my own googling and research, and my finding has been that the only consistent feature of things that get you called a tankie is that they are to the left of the anglosphere Overton window.
