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.

For the prevention of doxxing and harassment it is a good idea to censor usernames in screenshots of activity on lemmy.

For those unaware, Houthi is one of the most extreme groups of jihad terrorists in the Middle-East, their flag is as follows:

"God is the Greatest, Death to America, Death to Israel, Cursed be the Jews, Victory to Islam".

A few years ago, the Lemmy Developers decided to keep their political views on lemmygrad while keeping lemmy.ml more neutral. Now they are banning users who are critical of their actions and bigotry.

Anti-Tankie posts may put you at risk of being banned from commenting and posting on the lemmy.ml instance.

I thought horseshoe theory was disproven but most posts on there could just as well be from far right extremists. It's just contrarianism for the sake of being contrarian.

Are they all just going to lie and say Russia won anyway? Or will they just cry for these poor Ukrainians who are now part of Ukraine again? It's so hard to guess what is going on in their minds.

TLDR: I say he should probably leave and join Lemmygrad and call him Tankie. He is upset, says he is not pro China just criticizing Germany's Foreign Minister. The first thing I see on his Account is Chinese propaganda.

You could think these guys might be smart enough to know that people can see what they post. Maybe all the Propaganda is rotting their brain.

Alt text by username transcriptionist down from the comment section: Image Transcription:

A post on Ask Lemmygrad by user Cyber Ghost titled "What are the reasons why Russia attacked Ukraine?"

Below is the comment by user @cfgaussian reading: "The Nazi Kiev regime attacked the ethnically Russian Donbass for eight years intending to commit genocide in their quest for an ethnically pure Ukraine and Russia finally came to their aid after it became clear that the Minsk agreements were never going to be honored. Also, NATO was turning Ukraine into a hyper militarized threat to the integrity and security of Russia itself. Refusal of the US and Europe to negotiate on a new inclusive security framework, refusal to stop NATO expansion eastward, and the relentless and violent anti-Russian psychosis that has gripped Ukraine since the Maiden coup that triggered a civil war in a country in which half or more of the population are essentially Russian became intolerable."

User Summertime Soviet has replied to the comment saying "It's a shame we can't pin comments on posts, because this one would get a pin from me.

so instead, have this Farmer_Heck seal of approval"
