    Hi just migrated from Lemmy.ml. just wondering what a tankie actually is? I’ve heard it used a lot especially on Lemmy. My guess is some kind of pro CCP kind of communist but that’s my best guess

    Edit: Nvm just googled it. Its pretty much what I wrote.

      Depends on whether the person saying it is a fellow leftie or a rightwinger brainlet. To the first, it’s what you described - an anti-Marxist communist. To the second group, anyone left of Nixon.

        Wtf is an anti-Marxist communist? Is that like a swimmer that can’t swim? Arizona just outlawed abortion, and have senators speaking in tongues while praying on the floor of the house. President Biden is fully endorsing a genocide in the Middle East. Trump might become the first dictator of America.

        And ya’ll worried about

          That’s fucking RICH, and that’s coming from a lib who apparently only knows how to genocide for vast wealth and power.

            Did you just own yourself? I don’t understand this convoluted cleverness.

            I feel so owned right now. I may have to eat some ice cream.

            In what way did your comment refute any point I made?

            Just screaming into the abyss… sad.

            Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster… for when you gaze long into the abyss. The abyss gazes also into you.

        Does that mean most Americans are tankies when it comes to Israel’s ongoing genocide of Palestinians 🤔

        **Clearly struck a cord with the bloodthirsty genocide supporters
