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.

A few years ago, the Lemmy Developers decided to keep their political views on lemmygrad while keeping lemmy.ml more neutral. Now they are banning users who are critical of their actions and bigotry.

Anti-Tankie posts may put you at risk of being banned from commenting and posting on the lemmy.ml instance.

I deleted your comments because you were defending Stalin and handwaving bigotry

You know I wasn't and you could never prove it. Know why?

You have a whole community dedicated to screenshotting and posting that stuff, so why exactly didn't you do that? Why would you delete the very thing you must document? Shouldn't you be the steward of such comments?

Absolutely mental.

Because you're not a tankie.
