Dunking on Tankies from a leftist perspective.

A tankie is someone who defends/supports authoritarian or even totalitarian regimes who call themselves "socialist". The term originated from people supporting the 1956 invasion of Hungary by the Soviet Union. Nowadays they are just terminally online, denying genocides, and falling for totalitarian propaganda and calling such regimes "true democracies". remember to censor usernames when necessary.

Please be sure to obscure usernames on posts to prevent doxxing.

For the prevention of doxxing and harassment it is a good idea to censor usernames in screenshots of activity on lemmy.

Tankiejerk was originally a subreddit, but its head moderator said i could make an extension of the community on https://lemmy.world, so i did.

I was bored, so told AI to generate satirical tankie rap. It kinda slaps lol.

(I know I know it's AI generated, but it's still funny...)

The one where Hexbear unironically rebrands some of their vilest propaganda-filled troll communities (aka "beloved spaces") as "counterpropaganda" and "gossip" 🤣

Hello users of Hexbear, we wanted to inform you that we are going to be locking the_dunk_tank and dredge_tank communities. We have created two new communities /c/gossip and /c/counterpropaganda to serve a similar but clearly distinct purpose than the dunk/dredge tanks.

Not only is the dunk tank a term that has racist origins, but also many posts there were almost no effort and often times requiring later edits to show how they weren't reactionary, ~~not useful with regard to developing rhetoric and furthering dialectical analysis of that which we dunk upon~~.

To that end, we wish posts of reactionaries to be placed in [email protected] along with an accompanying explanation (as simple or complex as desired) with the intent of countering the reactionary propaganda in the post body, as of now comments are not subject to the same ~~rhetorical rigor~~ rule.

For the posts ~~that are not "low-hanging fruit'~~ of notable people we ask that you use [email protected] .

These changes are mainly part of a continued effort to remove the racist and misogynistic elements from our community and grow.

Any moderators of the dunk tank or dredge tank that want to be a mod in the new communities let me know.

[...]

As a personal addendum I am sorry if the closing of the tanks, removes a beloved space on the site, if you want to suggest a community to replace them you may do so at [email protected] or submit a mod application to take a more active role in shaping the site. Sitewide or community changes come from proposals put forth from the mod team, discussed, and voted on by the mod team.

For those unaware, Houthi is one of the most extreme groups of jihad terrorists in the Middle-East, their flag is as follows:

"God is the Greatest, Death to America, Death to Israel, Cursed be the Jews, Victory to Islam".
