Agree, but to me they're no different from any other genocide denying pieces of shit. If you are a NATO apologist that sees what happened to Iraq or what is currently happening to Gaza as any less abhorrent, you are just as bad as someone apologizing for Russia or the USSR.

Bro what, if we can stop leftist infighting for one fucking minute that would be great. We all have 90% of the same goals so how about we work on that and not build artificial walls to those to the left of us. Also being pro western „democracy“ is cringe.
Idk, tankies are pro-genocide. That doesn't mesh very well with most people's sensibilities.

Don't put me in the same group as people who defend the Russian and Chinese state governments.

All tankies seem to want is a strongman dictator and to hate the US. I don't care about the US but I'm definitely opposed to having a strongman dictator. Like if there was a group that wanted 90% of what I did but also wants to form an ethnostate, I would not work with that group.

I'm not sure anyone knows what a tankie is.
Apparently saying any country other than the US should take a turn at world leadership is a tankie opinion.

I still don't understand what a tankie is
Edit: From what I gathered, they're essentially authoritarian communists

Hell yeah!
What is a Tanky?
Authoritarian communists.
Authoritarian ~~communists~~.
You can only have one or the other, not both, since they are inherently incompatible. People calling themselves communists, doesn't mean that's what they are.

Do you have nothing better to post?
Arent they already gone?
If your instance has defecated from Hexbear, then you wouldn't see any of their posts or comments.
Tankies are found in almost all instances that end in .ml

Unfortunately, the only way to kick tankies out of 196 is to get 196 out of Lemmy. Because Lemmy is being developed by two tankies themselves, with a third one about to join. And because despite being defederated from hexbear and lemmygrad, lemmy.ml is still a free roam place for tankies from those two cesspool places. So, either defederate yourselves from lemmy.ml (nobody would do that), or fork lemmy into a new clean place (not impossible, but difficult to perform), or do as beehaw will do soon.

I mean, if push comes to shove why not? It’s not the “main instance” anymore, it’s only got twice the users of Hexbear. Around a third of .world. I don’t think defederating would be that bad of an idea if they get too oppressive.
