They’re a useful idiot.

Those people aren’t acting in good faith no matter how much they say it.

That seems weird and also slightly on the abusive side, literally unbanning and rebanning just to make a post come through.

Yeah I agree, tankies are the worst. Fuck tankies!

world defederates grad. I did see one on the ml version of this post though.

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.

Tell me about them Pride parades and gender clinics in Russia. If I’m such a liar and these countries are such a bastion of LGBTQ rights tell me about how Russia affirms and protects LGBTQ people. So far it seems they’ve banned people from talking about it or displaying symbols of it, and they make it very hard to access treatment, plus there’s a fair amount of social stigma and violence.

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.

Still isn’t over yet.

Yeah, no way else one could fund a meme like this. There totally aren’t Free image editors out there that let you put text on a stock image.

It’s good for their beliefs to be challenged, even briefly, hence the importance of posting it in their nest. There’s not much point in posting it only in places where everyone agrees with you, it’ll just produce head nodding but little action and even fewer examples of how and why they are bad.

You’re trying to argue that tankie doesn’t mean anything anymore. I’m saying it has a clearly defined definition, and you said you know what it is, acknowledging that that is what it means, therefore we’re on the same page. You never voiced your opinion on how you feel on tankies or what they do so I don’t know what your opinion is. Only your opinion on the definition.

Good, we’re all on the same page then?

Oooh look at you, trying to gatekeep the fediverse. You ain’t gettin rid of me that easily darling 💋

It is being used as a descriptive term for people who support authoritarian regimes and frame themselves as left-leaning. Idc how libertarians use it.

Bold of you to assume I’m a boy… Don’t worry I’m used to it sweetie many people, especially brainwashed tankie trolls tend to not understand or respect Nonbinary identities.

I love how you sit here implying russia isn’t fascist considering all of the fascist policies they enact and human rights violations they directly commit. Really shows who’s brainwashed here.

Hmmm… 🤔

Lemme guess, you don’t think it’s real? I’m guessing you don’t since you said “whatever you think China is doing” instead of “whatever China is doing” trying to brush it off as opinion or imagination rather than factual events and occurrences.

Yup I knew you couldn’t come up with an answer because that is exactly what you meant. To deny the atrocities committed by stalin saying they’re US lies.

"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”

Seems like you’re implying the US is lying about the horrible things done by Stalin and the USSR, aka implying they didn’t happen AKA “arguing that Stalin did not purge political opponents”
