Dunking on Tankies from a leftist perspective.
A tankie is someone who defends/supports authoritarian or even totalitarian regimes who call themselves "socialist". The term originated from people supporting the 1956 invasion of Hungary by the Soviet Union. Nowadays they are just terminally online, denying genocides, and falling for totalitarian propaganda and calling such regimes "true democracies". remember to censor usernames when necessary.

Do not compare any glorious people's republic to Nazi Germany otherwise you get called a Holocaust denier.
One of the Hexbears spazzed out at me when I said the NKVD, like the Gestapo, did horrific things. I was genuinely confused...
Oh God you said it. If the name that shall not be named is repeated twice more, thou shalt summon thy horde!
Eh they'll get banned fast
Yeah noticed that one of the spazzers who has too much time on their hands has been running around throwing a link about Holocaust denial around like they found us breaking a class rule and are going to tell a teacher.
They really just want an authority in control to tell them what to do and will side with the bullies since they think that will make the pain stop. Cowards. I get it but they are cowards.
Exactly. They are mad about the world but won't do anything about it other than wait for the revolution to come like it's the second coming of Christ. They are mad about the status quo and want to make others pay for it, even potential allies who agree in a lot of aspects.
Don't worry this is a lemmy.world community, that means that most hexbear users won't even see this post due to it not being available in their instance.
Maybe some of them will create alts on other instances to see and reply to this content, but the ones who spam like they do on hexbear are very likely to get banned quickly for doing this from other instances.
