        A lot of people on this very platform who are the very same that are commonly described as „tankies“.

              I am not going to bat for Tankies, I am asking this little club of Tankie haters to point me in some sustantiative directions (NOT vague anecdotes) that backup the active and sustained hatred this group has for Tankies that motivates y’all to share memes about hating them quite frequently.

              If I was complaining about a group this much and had built my identity around it, I would worry people would start to think I was full of shit and trying to get everyone worried about something as a distraction from much more awful, pressing forces.

                Do you often think in such conspiratorial ways? You may need a therapist.

                … we’re on fucking Lemmy, of all places. There are tankies here, on this collection of sites.

                Are you really saying you’ve never taken a dip in to Lemmygrad or Hexbear, or even just .ml?

                  I have, and yeah there are ugly parts… but the point that y’all push it to insulting them just comes off as weird and insecure like this community is terrified people will overwhelmingly like Tankies more than people with your ideology which says everything about y’all and very little about Tankies which is precisely my point.

                    Yeah, that’s a real softball way to say “genocide denial” and “genocide cheerleading”.

                    but the point that y’all push it to insulting them just comes off as weird and insecure

                    … I’m sorry, is authoritarianism not worthy of insults?

                    Of all the varieties of authoritarians, tankies are the ones that are most common on this website. I’m really not getting why you’re coming to a comm specifically for venting about tankie bullshit and throwing a fit that there is [checks notes] venting about tankie bullshit.

                    like this community is terrified people will overwhelmingly like Tankies more than people with your ideology which says everything about y’all and very little about Tankies which is precisely my point.

                    what
