you don't know that im not afraid of people that can dance.
For me personally I would define a tankie as some one who cares more about the name of what they are supporting as compared to the actual outcome. eg someone that supports the CCP because it calls itself communist or Russia for the same reason. But just saying that the CCP is not the bogeyman* that the US says that it is does not fall into that category for me.
If someone said that china was actually a communist paradise and that all of the bad things were western propaganda I would think they were a tankie. If they said that China was a country they enjoyed living in and it was not as bad as it is often portrayed as I would probably think that that person was not a tankie.
Edit: boogie man --> bogeyman. (thank you Ilovethebomb)
I think they have upped the amount of fuzzing more recently too.
Do you think that people understand that trans people don't want to be political? I feel like somehow people are blaming trans people like it is their fault that the republicans decided that they would be the target of hatred.
I think a lot of it is simply the human brain has a lot of limitations and we push past them on a daily limit. Our brains are wonderful things that allow us to do a lot but when it comes down to it we are simply not meant to be able to connect to so many people at one time. I think that past a certain point it just breaks a lot of peoples brains to learn about so many terrible things so the brain defaults to finding one thing to blame the problem on.
yeah that one lmao.
I did the hop for mastodon but that was mostly because I learned an instance can set a higher character limit and I absolutely hate fucking threads of tweets.
it remindes me of a meme I saw that boiled down to horseshoe theory is real but only for tankies.
I guess if you define land ownership as money then yes it is. Sounds a lot like a capitalist talking point though more than anything.
might be safer to do it from Cuba at least there you know what bullshit you'll be dealing with next month.
its not just anime porn. Multiple body part specific subs have been banned despite being actively moderated. I think it's a poem ban plus any thing that might be a bad look to the New Admin
I like your definition. The centering of a strong man type does seem to tie into why a lot of the fall into the type of thinking that leads to being a tankie. very similar to maga and the other fascist movements that seem to be taking root in other parts of the world.
