Personally, I define tankies as the fucks who support the Russian invasion and deny Tiananmen Square. You can be communist without being a fascist bootlicker

How can it have any real meaning if everyone has their own personal definition?

[-] girl@unilem.org 4 points 1 year ago

Lots of things work like that. It’s called connotation (personal definition and significance), which does not require denotation (an actual definition)

[-] krolden@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

Yeah sounds like the definition of a slur

Slur, “an insinuation or allegation about someone that is likely to insult them or damage their reputation.” So, yes. I’m not particularly worried about slurs against tankies, just like I don’t care about insulting or harming the reputation of nazis

ETA: pigs is a slur for cops, that’s a slur I don’t mind either

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
