Wth are tankies?
A tankie is someone who is pro-communist dictators, put shortly.
You’ll find them on hexbear and other instances that your instance has hopefully defederated from.
Is being toxic a requirement for joining hexbear? It sure seems like it.
They are easily riled and while I doubt there is intentional coordination in place, due to their fervour, they can come across like a brigade. If you speak up against them - cue the hexbears flocking to this comment no doubt - they can get quite vicious, as my comment history will witness.
Hexbear sounds like a sigma male hangout. It sure is gay to defederate such a place.
A pro-authoritarian communist. Typically used derisively.
Increasingly, “tankies” seem to cover any infraction against the approved anti-russian fervor;
I have been called one just for being critical of the US military, it’s a catch all term for anyone that isnt strictly for capitalist imperialism. I consider it a soft resurgence of the red scare, I cringe each time I see it just like when I see the term lib.
Both the pro Russian and the pro america-no-matter-the-cost crowds just stink of stupidity imo
so given 90% of the planet believe normal Russian people aren’t evil monsters, the default position is tankies?
One might say they’re grinding the term into uselessness.
One might say you yourself are obfuscating the meaning behind pro-russian rhetoric.
Thanks for helping prove my point.
Equivalent of “woke”, but used by liberals. Generally meaning “people left of us that we don’t like”.
Not really. It’s someone who claims to be liberal or progressive or a way left thinker willing to use force to make the world what they want
People who diminish or refute Tiananmen Square 1989 are tankies
