Using the term Tankies has officially lost all meaning now that it is confirmed that the CIA was involved in the Hungarian uprising.
I would define it as authoritarian communists, who are supportive of the USSR and similar.
Just because the u.s is bad, doesn’t mean that they are good.
The term is almost exclusively used by people who believe that US good.
I use it, and I don’t think america is amazing. Not going to say its objectively bad, but they are imperialistic.
So would you also not say Russia is objectively bad?
They are in no way equal, thats for sure. At least domestically, america is better. Russia is imperialistic and oppressive.
So Russia bad but the country responsible for the modern day Holocaust receives nuance.
Thank you for proving my point.
Ah yes, the USA, a genocidal slave state world-renowned for not being imperialist and oppressive.
ah yes, the famously not imperialist and oppressive USA
If you would read the comment that geneva_convenience was replying to, I said that the usa was imperialist. Besides, calling russia imperialist doesn’t mean I’m calling the u.s not imperialist.
But no one supports the authoritarian USSR except idiots. So why is there propaganda against it?
It’s litteraly like doing propaganda against the French Empire of Napoléon. That stuff is dead and even the biggest moron are not stuck to it anymore.
I’m talking about the west obviously, where litteral nazi are parading in the streets and developing their networks irl and on social médias, and those libtards are doing absolutely nothing about it.
Have you ever visited .grad or even just .ml?
Yes. And I haven’t seen as many zealots there than on lemmy.world. There’s not as zealous as the liberals there.
Dunno about “lost all meaning”. The shrapnel from all the butthurt is spraying quite a few instances right now. Lulz.
Just glad to see ml/memes is getting a taste of its own shit for once.
What shrapnel, the OP crying in advance over all of Lemmy when his post had not even been deleted?
The liberal crybullying movement is growing. Their Zionist party must be rubbing off on them.
