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.
okay, so i just looked up “Tankie”. am i right to think this is just left on left political agitprop?
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.
i think i get it now… it’s just another way for people to hate each other. okay. thanks. i’ll be sure to stay away from anything mentioning “Tankies” in the future.
That’s a lot of hurt to be carrying around

You should reread that reply.

It was about talkies, not tankies.
You were so right, I totally misread the comment. Thank you for pointing it out
No. The people who scream the loudest about “tankies” are centrists who don’t think their party is far enough to the right.
They’re not centrist anymore because they purposefully side with fascists.
Siding with fascists while pretending to do anything else is what centrism is all about.
Depends who you ask. I’d define tankies as in favor of ‘communist’ authoritarianism.
That’s the most common, and yet incredibly incorrect, answer
Mind elaborating?
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
I’d define tankies as in favor of ‘communist’ authoritarianism.
Yeah, communist authoritarianism is not a thing.
You’re thinking of literal fascist anti-communist propaganda and using a very basic knowledge of anything leftist/communist-related to fill-in the rest
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

That’s literally what it is.

You’re literally spamming anti-tankie memes everywhere on Lemmy in the last hour. You can’t also try to act as if you weren’t touched by this hahaha
Troll
Sad to see someone so dumb and brainwashed. My heart aches for you (lol not really)
💀
It’s a low rent pejorative favoured by the ‘tolerant centre’ for anything or anyone to the left of MSNBC
