Tankie: Cuts the legs off of tall people to not let them watch anything, while party authorities take the cut off legs to step on.

My guy, you’re just describing capitalism.

shitting on tankies ≠ shilling capitalism

[-] ssboomman@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Unfortunately that depends on the circle you’re in. A lot of dumbass libs think that all leftist ideologies are strictly authoritarian.

Nothing tankie about this. Do conservatives just use it as a kind of slur because they heard progressives using it?

Naw, I don't see this as being tanky. The middle one I don't really get tho.

the middle one explains that equity unlike equality does not give everyoune the same resources, but distributes resources so every one has the same experience/chance.

But isn't equity often used for "we keep the oppressive system but we allow few women and black people on the compressor side"?

[-] FlickOfTheBean@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I would advise fighting for equity to mean "distribution of resources to enable equal opportunity" rather than "capitalism with a diversity coating"

If you allow people to use the term incorrectly, you're allowing the term to grow/evolve into a meaning that harms the ability to accurately convey the concept you're trying to describe.

So with all that said, to respond to your question: Perhaps you've seen it used that way. That is not what equity means though.
