I have seen the word Tankies a ton since I joined Lemmy, but it seems like people use it for almost anybody that is political at all, lol. Is the definition of it that google gives accurate?
It gets thrown around a lot by people who don't know the first thing about Marxism.
I'm a card carrying socialist so you think, with the communities I subscribe to, I would have seen some Tankies commenting, but I've yet to run across any Uygur genocide or Russian apologizing so far.
It really makes me mad when people accuse the maintainers of Lemmy of being Tankies when all I can find are very based essays they've written about socialist philosophy.
Edit: Just to be clear, I won't tolerate any Russia/China apologism. My account being from Leemy.ml means I still see content from the people most likely to be Tankies. I'm always willing to admit I am wrong if someone makes a compelling argument. I've just been silent on this topic since people started complaining and this is my first real push back. I don't want the Tankie slur applied to anyone who doesn't deserve it.
I have seen a couple of tankies, but I think most of them left Lemmy.world when Hexbear and Lemmygrad got defedrated.
Have you been to hexbear? It's very thick over there with that kind of shit
Since Lemmy.ml is still federated with Lemmygrad and Hexbear I see their posts and comments pretty regularly.
That's why I'm aggravated that I see people complaining about those groups but haven't seen the rhetoric their accused of. ๐
I genuinely want some links to examples. It would make me sad but I can accept if I'm wrong.
>Lemmy.ml account
>I've yet to run across any genocide denial.
Mate, how far have you buried your head in the sand?
I joined Lemmy before the mass exodus, when the three major servers were Lemmy.ml, Beehaw, and Lemmygrad.
What do you mean by pointing that out?
I've seen more than my fair share of Lemmygrad posts and comments.
I stand by what I said.
I'm happy to look at any links to comments you dissaprove of.
Yes it is, spend some time on lemmy.ml/hexbear and you'll see them.
Tankies is a term used to describe extreme leftiests such as communists for example I use to see the term used alot on okmatewanker as the sub would get raided sometimes by greenandunpleasent

Tankies are anything but leftists. They're authoritarian shitheads that have more in common with the far right. Everything they stand for is at odds with actual leftist beliefs and principles.
Tankies is a term used to describe auth-left to put it bluntly communists M8 they aren't right wing nor are they auth-right they have nothing todo with auth-right m8.most of there beliefs. and principles come from Marxism-leninisim. There beliefs are hard-core authoritarian and heavily auth left-wing
If you want to read into it then goahead
