MODERATORS
What happened on lemmy.ml? That place is moderated by tankies with their finger on the ban trigger, so I am skeptical if you mean "hard turn to the right" or "normal people calling out the propaganda that my echo chamber used to shield me from."
To answer the question, I'm a radical anarchist, no state, no money, no bosses, no landlords, no compromises.
World News is hosted on Lemmy.ml and since you use the term Tankie I suppose you're biased and may not see the shift in what articles are upvoted the most on that sub.
(Be kind, not trying to start a flame war) I keep seeing this thrown around, what is a “tankie” and what’s it got to do with that Lemmy instance?
depending on who youre talking to it either means all communist or specifically communists who unabashedly support authoritarian sociopathic governments
communists who unabashedly support authoritarian sociopathic governments tend to frame it as exclusively an insult for communists in general, either out of a refusal to recognise any other branch of communism as actually communist, to pull attention away from their support of authoritarian sociopathic governments or to frame whoever is calling them tankies as anti-communist, and probably a fascist
