    “Oh hey, another user fresh from Reddit who just learned the term tankie and wanted to cry about it on a Marxist Leninist instance… I’ve seen this nonsense before”

      i don’t get it. i know it has something to do with communism or something, but i can never figure out who they’re trying to offend. it all seems so culturally divided to me that it’s almost like holding up three fingers or something.

        Well OP spelled it out in this comment here:

        “Waiting for the ML trolls to come out of the woodwork complaining about how I’m evil or whatever”

        It’s just complaining and victim complex.

        This OP is literally making pointless memes to get a reaction and then feel vindicated about all of this when some eViL ML replies to this user’s trolling.

        So this person is free to go to a specifically ML instance to be a rude asshole, and yet the “evil tankie communists” are at fault somehow for removing the stupid post or something… 🙄

          Iirc there’s a community on .world that’s specifically for centrists to go into various leftist spaces, act like absolute pendejos, then post screenshots about “censorship” by “tankies” when moderators take action.

          • Talkies like to act like they’re the left, but really they’re the bottom of the spectrum.

            Make up they’re own rules and hate everyone else, even if your just trying to help others, including them

            Their preferred way of government you’ve never heard of and how dare you not know it.

            You may think you have a good point, but you’re actually stupid and a facist.

            No. The people who scream the loudest about “tankies” are centrists who don’t think their party is far enough to the right.

                  Why don’t you define “tankie” or authoritarianism before, then? Instead of just sharing a silly meme and acting as if that was an explanation.

                  What even is communist authoritarianism? Lol

                    Why don’t you define it if you know it so well? I’m looking through this comment chain and the only thing you have been doing is deflecting or jumping to another topic, while asking bad faith questions.

                    The other guy could at least be bothered to give his definition, it might be the wrong one, but I ain’t reading a counter definition.

            Not sure. This OP also went to comment on a 4 years old post in the “republican” community here in Lemmy.ml so it could indeed be a conservative too.

            Regardless, considering how many of these memes they’re posting now, they’ll likely be soon banned.

            It sucks that we have to deal with these kind of people that have nothing better to do

        It’s a low rent pejorative favoured by the ‘tolerant centre’ for anything or anyone to the left of MSNBC
