Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)
Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.
Includes lore like how a instance got it's name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc
(New) This sub's intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don't get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama

I include them because they are taking about "revolution" and the only way you successfully overthrow a federal government is by force which necessitates the use of tanks even if they haven't considered the fact that the fetal government is going to fight back with tanks and many, if not all of them, will be killed.
That's not what the word means. At all.
It's about being on the side of the tanks -- specifically the Tienanmen Square tanks. It is literally the opposite of wanting to use tanks to overthrow the government.
I understand how you're using it. I'm just warning you that you are very much going your own way with this word and are going to look foolish if you do so.
From Wikipedia:
Yes, that's what I said. The tanks are operated by authoritarians AGAINST the rebels. They are not tanks operated by rebels. Tankies will bend any logic to defend and support authoritarian governments so long as they present anti-capitalist.
It is all about authoritarianism. If you call an anarchist a "tankie", you're going to look like you're being totally disingenuous.
And yet, Wikipedia doesn't agree with your opinion.
Look dude, you seem like you can't handle any form of criticism or evolution in your understanding of things, so keep doing it exactly how you want and don't listen to anyone else in this thread or elsewhere trying to help you be a better communicator. Have fun being you.
Thanks, I am!
Ok. Thanks.
