!asklemmy@lemmy.ml - ARE YOU A TANKIE? - informal poll results ~

😱A ridiculous question. “Tankie” isn’t a term anyone self-identifies with, it’s mostly a term used by liberals to hurl at anyone to the left of them or anyone who agrees with western foreign policy. The survey results will be as meaningless as the term “tankie” itself.

ARE TANKIES TAKING CONSPIRING TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A BAD TIME ON LEMMY.ML ??

HEXBEAR.NET

DOES THE WORK FOR YOU!!

WE ASKED !asklemmy@lemmy.ml ARE YOU A TANKIE?

First stack of pie charts shows the yes / no split, highlights that the lemmy.ml yes responses made up less than half of the yes votes, hexbear.net and lemmygrad.ml only made up a small portion, some hexbear-ians even vote no
second and third pie charts show the yes votes, and no votes by instance respectively
third stacked pie chart shows the yes / no split by instance, overlay-ed with the total yes / no votes

only top level comments were counted
tankies are closer than they appear
Deeply unserious

this was fun, thanks for the polling idea, Kristina (I spent too long on these charts because yours looked so spiffy, I hope you specifically are impressed lol), solidarity cleaning that data up, and general reminder people only half read anything before launching into a diatribe

tl:dr yes, tankies are totally conspiring to make sure you have a bad time on lemmy.ml

specter

female presenting breasts lol topless men aOKAY then? pre op trans guys with hairy tits alright? non passing trans women?

this community concern just stinks to me that some capital G gamers are upset they can't keep women out of gaming, it's about ethics in video game streaming or something

i'll never understand live entertainment outside of people's obsession with the thrill of seeing a mistake anyway, ala Janet Jackson, give me carefully curated scripted content, or give me death

Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) is a radical anti-Israel and anti-Zionist activist group that advocates for the boycott of Israel and eradication of Zionism.

JVP does not represent the mainstream Jewish community, which it views as bigoted for its association with Israel. JVP’s staunch anti-Zionist positions place it squarely in opposition to mainstream American Jews and Jews worldwide, most of whom view a connection with Israel as an integral part of their social, cultural or religious Jewish identities. JVP promulgates the view that Jews who identify even tangentially with Israel are motivated by white supremacy, Jewish racial chauvinism and religious supremacism.

how good is gatekeeping a cultural identity in order to preserve a genocidal settler colony?

its funny reddit used to be extremely anti emoji, there's something about them being feminine coded, something about real men using real words, big manly words, the bigger and the more the manlier, utter your inclinations with the utmost exuberance, kind stranger, for I am a maker of quotes! the narwhal bacons at midnight, pippip cheerio

I was not aware that emoji were suddenly socially acceptable on le reddit

absolutely do not take advice from 4Chan, my boyfriend doesn't keep me warm, i'm warmed by my hatred of the bourgeoisie, and then I keep my boyfriend warm

but seriously I read into so much stuff like this before I started hrt and its all so anecdotal it's bunk

here's an article from the Black People's Union relating to the referendum, they backed the no vote

https://www.blackpeoplesunion.org/articles/conning-us-into-recognition

it feels weird being on the same side as racists, but I did support my comrades in BPU by voting no. yes there's a lot of upset and intense emotions around this, but we can't kid ourselves into thinking this performative reformist bullshit would have made any material difference to Indigenous communities.

Indigenous people weren't asking to be recognised by the racist constitution.

dont lose sleep over nothing comrades, get active in your communities where-ever you can and fight for real change.
