I experience the opposite. Whenever I criticise US government, I get attacked by hordes of cringy Americans.

I must say I had a pleasant conversation on workers’ rights in the US recently on c/technology (lemmy.world). By pleasant I mean "not being insulted because I live in France and workers do have rights so I’m a red commie" pleasant.

Let's do a little experiment:

  • Tankies are horrible
  • Nazi's are horrible
  • The US is horrible
  • Russia is horrible
  • China is horrible

See what I'm going to do is I'm going to make the nazis look equally bad to all these other things. That way the nazi atrocities will look less problematic and I get to smear my enemies with a tainted term.

No I'm not a nazi, why do you ask?

You shat on homeless people and got rightfully called out for it. Take the L instead of crying about tankies

[–] [email protected] 89 points 1 year ago (46 children)

it looks like the only comments of yours that were removed were for making inflammatory comments about homeless people on public transport in a place you don't live.

You mean your bullshit screed hating on public rail and showing your anti-homeless brainworms where you literally implied that "people don't hate them enough"?

Also "boo hoo the 'tankies' (whatever that even means to you libs anymore) bullied me for supporting violence against some of the most vulnerable people in the imperial core"

lmao You have been complaining about this for FIVE DAYS holy shit.

By being 'slightly critical' you do mean complaining about homeless people, right?

Why are the libs so hung up on criticizing socialists? If you don't like this forum then go back to reddit.

Every time one of you uses the phrase "Banned for being slightly critical", it always turns out you were saying some of the most digusting shit imaginable. It's such a tell, it's like when you say "I was ostracized just for having a different political opinion!"

spoilerAnd the opinion was about who should qualify as human

Hmm, I wonder why they didn't include what their posts said

I thought tankies were adult fans of Thomas the Tank Engine.

Tankie is just a slur for people who aren’t ideological and financially compromised by the United Treats of America.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 year ago (129 children)

Found the tankie.

Honestly What bullshit.

Tankie is a slur for authoritarian communists.

There is a healthy and honest way to appreciate communism, Russia, the CCP and even DPRK.

And then there are people who are completely shilling the CCP Russia DPRK as communist uptopias. These people are tankies.

If you are unable to recoginze the atrocities commited at any point in history, by the USA China, Russia , or any other country for that Matter. You're a chump.

[–] [email protected] 67 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

You all use tankie exactly the same way republicans use woke. As a meaningless thought-terminating cliche deployed against literally everyone to your left to avoid actually learning anything.

It's a vibes-based invective liberals use the same way chuds use "woke" to dispel any cognitive dissonance that might crop up whenever they discover information they find displeasing because it might mean the rest of the delusions they're immersed in might not be all that airtight. Just a thought-terminating word with absolutely no meaning. Just like "whataboutism," it's a weasel's way out of addressing someone else's argument in good faith (which I have yet to see you display in this thread).

Personally, it's absolutely fucking hilarious to see how much these words get thrown around, especially when it comes from so-called "leftists." If you truly are one, you ought to quit it with that bullshit.
