Why is that supposed to be an insult, I know nothing of tankie But was called one a couple days ago
Tankies are people who supported the use of tanks to attack the civilian protests against the USSR in Hungary and later Czechoslovakia. That became the default term for anyone who supports brutal authoritarian states that suppress the people to assert their control. In modern day context a tankie would be someone who blames Ukraine for being invaded and denies the genocide of the Uyghurs.
Some rightwing/centrists like to use it to insult any leftist. You can just ignore those ones.
I appreciate you for taking the time to explain this to me, mostly sounds like a term people used to other other people
It’s more of a term to point out that someone is the left equivalent of a Neo Nazi.
There is no left equivalent, and horseshoe theory is horseshit.
Imperialist Propaganda and the Ideology of the Western Left Intelligentsia: From Anticommunism and Identity Politics to Democratic Illusions and Fascism
For the non-tankies

Yes, please do read it:
Pretty much it’s a thought-terminating othering. To label someone a tankie is to give license for prejudicially dismissing them.
I agree 100%, also it reminded me of This Clanker
I wouldn’t call fascists or CIA- & bourgeois-backed counterrevolutionaries “civilians.”
No one buys your tankie gibberish!
I said it before (in this thread) and I will say it again:
You never had any friends from Hungary or Czesh Republic, you've never been there.
The USSR was total trash. Abject poverty, genocidal extermination of the cultrue and language of occupied nations, KGB goons in universities and a corrupt leadership that makes the current oligarch/criminal look like good guys. You've likely never met anyone who lived in the USSR.
Thank you for proving my point!
you sound like you have an axe to grind. if you're going to call people nazis for not supporting ukraine I'm going to point out that there's plenty of Nazis that do support ukraine. I include in that list the instance run by a transphobe (sh.itjust.works) where they have a comm run by a bunch of "social democrats" and freely discuss all the 'degenerate roaches', which they can't wait to be free from.
I don't support ukraine, I don't support russia, I oppose the war entirely and want people (yes even you) to no longer get sent to the front to die in an inter-capitalist conflict.
Thank you for proving my point (once again) about tankies supporting extermination of Ukrainian culture/identity/language and continued internment of tens of thousands of Ukrainians in the occupied territories (and mass discrimination and prosecution).
You even openly admit that you support putin's "de-nazifiction of Ukraine" rhetoric.
You most definitely do not "oppose the war entirely". Rejection of self determination for Ukrainians (and the right to speak in Ukrainian) is support for the russian invasion of Ukraine.
Here's a post where geneva_convenience unironically suggests that "blood and soil" is actually good policy.
Stop talking, go get Cowbee — you're out of your depth.
you should reply to more of my posts, you clearly have a crush on me
also fuck geneva_convenience, he's literally banned from one of the few comms I moderate. settlers living is Israel not getting a fursuit isn't racism
Yeah, I get it — you can't control f through the post so you don't understand what I mean.
Also, imagine that — the lowest of low hanging fruit responses. You and your homophobic Brazilian friend have a lot in common!
I mean you felt the need to inbox me a bunch of times with the same comment, clearly I struck a nerve
why don't you call me a troglodyte some more, as the master race you're clearly the only real human in the room
You behave like you're much more important than you are, I'm waiting for my flight. What are you doing?
Oh, right, making trans people everywhere look like unstable terrorists. Great job.
I'm having a coffee and cooking some nice food to share with comrades later lmao
clearly I am a nihilistic violent gender extremist
death to america btw
Wow, that's wild how you're cooking while responding so quickly and consistently! It's almost like you're lying!
I wonder what else you're lying about?
I'm on my phone and watching something simmer it's really not hard to reply to assholes online at the same time
death to america btw
Right, we've established you're a liar — there's no need to defend yourself anymore.
keep calling me fake trans, also make sure to let all your trans friends know that your support is conditional on their behavior.
death to america btw
No no, see I'm willing to listen to them and change my mind — because they don't defend nazis, authoritarians, and deny genocide.
It's very different. I'm not surprised that you struggle to understand, you don't seem very good at context.
you're a transphobe who's been dehumanizing me all thread, on an instance run by a transphobe, fuck off already.
death to america btw
Ah, right — more of the bullshit.
Yes yes, I must be a transphobe because I called you mean names like clanker, liar or troglodyte.
Incredible, you make such a good name for trans people. At this rate, I'm going to block you simply because I don't want there to be even more messages from a 'trans' person saying death to America being publically visible.
You're welcome, by the way — I'm doing you and every trans person on this platform a favor. No, I don't accept the bottle of estrogen and sticky note your friend sent you — I'm just tired of exercising Brandolini's Law.
it's cause you said I wasn't really trans until I showed you literal proof; and still you call me 'trans' in scare quotes. People can still be trans without being on meds, I know more than enough homeless or tenuously housed trans girls who struggle to keep their prescriptions filled regularly- or at all. Guess what, plenty of them wouldn't agree with your politics either. Doesn't make them no longer trans.
Deciding that you're the cis arbiter of who's trans and who isn't does make you a transphobe though.
I could fucking fully dox myself and transphobes like you would still make up some bullshit to not believe me
death to america
Yes, yes, spout off as if you're on stage — your virtue means you're very believable.
When did I decide I'm the arbiter of who is and isn't trans? I'm accusing you of lying, dipshit, I didn't make you a paragon of your people*.
Meanwhile, we have an entire thread of you continually admitting you're trans and saying death to America. I wonder whose rhetoric harms trans people more?
Of course that's rhetorical, you think you speak for every trans person in existence! Simple because you're trans. Odd how that looks, isn't it?
I don't speak for every trans person, however you deciding that i'm not 'really' trans because you don't like my opinions does make you a transphobe.
idk why I give fash like you the time of day
death to america btw
You came here to be enraged and express your rage. What's the point of telling other people not to respond to you? This is how you're choosing to spend your time, responding to people who enrage you. If you don't want to hear from people, put your phone down and go do something else.
Buddy, you're on fire this morning. What did you originally get on the internet for? Was it deliberate or did you just use the services that came with your smartphone? Do you think what you're doing right now is healthy? Do you think you're spending your time in a healthy way right now?
I hate tankies, especially tankies who lie about who they are.
Who are you to try and suggest I have better things to do with my time? Who even are you?
Do you realize that what you just described is internet bullshit and you wouldn't be angry at all if you didn't come here to see it?
As for me, I've been here since the beforetimes. I was here before you, and I'll be here long after you get bored and go away. You came here to be judged or you wouldn't be on this social media site, so I don't understand why you're getting so offended by my judgment.
😂😂
Ok buddy, now I'm convinced you're an alt account.
Nope.
Ok, then you should probably know that .mlers are genocide deniers and authoritarian jerk offs. If that doesn't piss you off, I'm so glad for you.
Get out of my way.
Buddy, I grew up on USENET. If anything I saw on the internet ever upset me, I'd either be totally desensitized to it by now or I'd be irredeemably mentally ill. Take my advice and get off here. Your family needs you.
I have been to the Czechia, actually. I spent a week in Prague in the early 2000s.
American and Soviet citizens eat about the same amount of food each day but the Soviet diet may be more nutritious.
When the Soviet Union started paying pensions in the early years of Josef Stalin’s rule, the retirement age was set at 60 for men and 55 for women. It has not been raised since.
If the USSR exterminated the cultures and languages of “occupied” nations, then why are those cultures still speaking Armenian, Azerbaijani, Belarusian, Estonian, Georgian, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Latvian, Lithuanian, Moldavian, Tajik, Turkmen, Ukrainian, and Uzbek?
I have known some, and I know a few right here on Lemmy.
Congrats! You went on an American eurotrip in your youth. And you know a few people who were born in the USSR on Lemmy (does that include me)?
If you know so much about the USSR, can you tell me which professions were (outside of being a party goons) considered profitable and why? Wikipedia answers aren't going to cut it. Something that shows basic knowledge on this issue without web searching. Indulge me, lil commie bro!
Yes, meat was widely available in the USSR and common access was not limited to well-connected individuals and party goons! What a great life!
The Holodomor never happened and it was CIA psyop! The CIA made a time machine to travel back in time and discredit comrade Stalin! I see. My great grandmother was a time travelling CIA agent working to discredit communism!
Local language education was definitely not suppressed and cultural group of occupied nations weren't prosecuted! You could make movies in your language and vote to have education be primarily in your own language, right? You could even vote leave the USSR since it wasn't an occupation!
The real irony is that even the russians don't believe in your cointelpro and counter-revolutionary gibberish (wrt Czechia and Hungary). They are lucid enough to understand that it was matter of imperialism and ethno-national supremacism.
Fucking hilarious that you whine about the term tankie sounding "othering" to you and then shamelessly trot this line out.
