You mean your bullshit screed hating on public rail and showing your anti-homeless brainworms where you literally implied that "people don't hate them enough"?
Also "boo hoo the 'tankies' (whatever that even means to you libs anymore) bullied me for supporting violence against some of the most vulnerable people in the imperial core"
lmao You have been complaining about this for FIVE DAYS holy shit.
-
LMAO what a loser
-
I love public rail and took it all over the place when I visited Japan, I even still have the JR Pass ticket in my wallet. If I had one public transportation wish for LA it's that every freeway have a light rail line like in the 105. As for the homeless situation I am all in for fully funded housing first initiatives and think we haven't done anywhere near enough for them. That said, the unfortunate state of events between the LA Metro and the city's homeless allows for some very problematic things to happen in light rail train cars especially during transit. I've seen quite a bit of drug use, littering, and even an instance when I had a taser brandished at my face only to find out a second later the guy was trying to sell it to me. I really wish people wouldn't react so quickly to a post and start accusing them of being some kind of monster.
-
"they certainly don't hate them enough to chase them away when they are smoking meth on the train" sounds kinda like you think that should be done and that the issue is people not hating the unhoused enough.
Especially when you come into a space that explicitly advocates for abolishing landlords and start saying that stuff, you should expect ridicule. Instead of complaining about it in other spaces for 5 days and repeatedly doubling down you could just do some very basic self-crit.
-
Oh no, not littering.
-
Oh it’s YOU!
Hahahahahahaha
Holy shit lmao, you’re still on this?
It’s like driving past someone waving around an end of days convert or die sign, and then hours later passing by the same spot and they’re still there
Go eat some grass nerd

"I'm not anti-homeless, I just [anti-homeless horseshit]"

I experience the opposite. Whenever I criticise US government, I get attacked by hordes of cringy Americans.
-
I must say I had a pleasant conversation on workers’ rights in the US recently on c/technology (lemmy.world). By pleasant I mean "not being insulted because I live in France and workers do have rights so I’m a red commie" pleasant.
-
Little do people know everyone is shit and your personality that is only based on ideologies makes you look like a moron. Yes we know there is unfairness in the world. But any “ism” won’t fix it.
-
Yes we know there is unfairness in the world. But any “ism” won’t fix it.
Least of all quietism like you display
-
Little do people know everyone is shit
People who say this think they're being world-wise when they're actually just putting out a general warning about themselves
-
Doomerism be like:
-
"No Lives Matter" type beat
-
Just because you don’t care to look into it doesn’t mean you don’t prescribe to any ism
In fact, people who say shit like that most definitely do

-
it looks like the only comments of yours that were removed were for making inflammatory comments about homeless people on public transport in a place you don't live.
-
Dude I was speaking from experience in that post. I live there and took the train daily. Do I need to show you my LA Metro card to prove it?
-
Post your credit card number and DLN while you're at it.
So a mod didn't like a comment you made which was interpreted as encouraging anti-homeless hate. Instead of just moving on you decided to make this about "tankies" despite no one saying anything about Marxist ideology, China, or anything related. I think you're just looking to pick a fight with us because we're dirty pinko commies or something.

And it really sucks, because I agree with them (about lemmygrad and hexbear)

OP: "public transport is bad because homeless people use it"
Gets banned for classism
OP:

You shat on homeless people and got rightfully called out for it. Take the L instead of crying about tankies

Why are the libs so hung up on criticizing socialists? If you don't like this forum then go back to reddit.
-
I’m a socialist but not a tankie. Criticizing tankies!= criticizing socialists

Norway isn't socialism.

What exactly was wrong with Kruschev's decision to send the tanks into Hungary to stop the fascist uprising?
Given the historical context of the literal genocides the US was facilitating in asia and south america at that time, even if you ignore the literal fascist collaborators hijacking the movement and pretend it was just a bunch of liberals fighting for "freedom", keeping them from falling within the west's claws would have been justified.
-
Classic tankie behaviour - > rather Clankie
-
That isn't how Lenny works, though. Anybody can fire up an instance for any type of community. They could be pro-socialist, anti-socialist, liberals, Nazis, goldfish fanciers...you name it. If you don't like them, you can defederate from them.
-
For sure totally agree. So why do the goldfish fancies keep making memes making fun of another community? Why don't they just defederate?

Tankie is just a slur for people who aren’t ideological and financially compromised by the United Treats of America.
-
Found the tankie.
Honestly What bullshit.
Tankie is a slur for authoritarian communists.
There is a healthy and honest way to appreciate communism, Russia, the CCP and even DPRK.
And then there are people who are completely shilling the CCP Russia DPRK as communist uptopias. These people are tankies.
If you are unable to recoginze the atrocities commited at any point in history, by the USA China, Russia , or any other country for that Matter. You're a chump.
-
It's a vibes-based invective liberals use the same way chuds use "woke" to dispel any cognitive dissonance that might crop up whenever they discover information they find displeasing because it might mean the rest of the delusions they're immersed in might not be all that airtight. Just a thought-terminating word with absolutely no meaning. Just like "whataboutism," it's a weasel's way out of addressing someone else's argument in good faith (which I have yet to see you display in this thread).
Personally, it's absolutely fucking hilarious to see how much these words get thrown around, especially when it comes from so-called "leftists." If you truly are one, you ought to quit it with that bullshit.
-
-
Every time one of you uses the phrase "Banned for being slightly critical", it always turns out you were saying some of the most digusting shit imaginable. It's such a tell, it's like when you say "I was ostracized just for having a different political opinion!"
-
Like clockwork!
-
-
By being 'slightly critical' you do mean complaining about homeless people, right?
-
By “being slightly critical” they mean even slightly implying that China is not in every way a completely perfect utopian paradise incapable of doing wrong.
-
They were smoking meth. How safe would you feel around a stranger doing that while locked in a moving train car?
-
Lmao thanks for removing all doubt.
-
As safe as I would feel if a unicorn got on the train and started running around, which also didn't happen.
-
Were smoking it in a dangerous or threatening way?
-
omg you guys are so cute
I would ask for some meth dude
-
I would let them smoke their meth in peace, and not dehumanize them online
-
I’d ask for a hit. It’s painfully obvious how middle class you are
-
Safer than I’d feel standing next to you

Hmm, I wonder why they didn't include what their posts said

Good riddance.

one thing amazes me for sure: there is still bunch of people loudly protecting their masters' right to exploit and rob them.
And they are doing this while are already living in the world destroyed and robbed by capital, where COVID showed how vulnerable and under-financed our healthcare system is, where due to the global competition and sinking profits of corporations countries are building alliances, and preparing a new big imperialistic war for us, where crisis goes after crisis together with high inflation globally, and where quality of life is sinking monthly.
-
Let's do a little experiment:
- Tankies are horrible
- Nazi's are horrible
- The US is horrible
- Russia is horrible
- China is horrible
-
See what I'm going to do is I'm going to make the nazis look equally bad to all these other things. That way the nazi atrocities will look less problematic and I get to smear my enemies with a tainted term.
No I'm not a nazi, why do you ask?
-
let's do a little experiment kicks you in the groin
-
😂

-
Interesting how exactly 4 of those are things a state has identified as.
-
-
The fun is if you had made some point about something china or Russia related and HADN'T also mentioned that the US is horrible, you'd get dogpiled.
The US is horrible, leave me alone
-
I mean yeah because the US does the same horrible horrible shit other existing countries do just more of it. Mentioning the smaller problem while ignoring the bigger problem(that we are closer to) is just how liberal brainwashing works.
-
-
I like concision: people are horrible.
:P

It's amazing the number of tankies and overall left-nuts I've found on here. Figures considering the kind of people that frequent FOSS spaces

problem?

You're using a platform built by communists, no surprise there are leftists here.

What is tankie?

It's the liberal equivalent of "woke"

A welder who works on metal storage vessels, sometimes called tanks.

I'm gonna try and give an actual brief history. The word "Tankie" originated from a split in the Communist party of Great Britain in the 1950s, over the Soviet invasion of Hungary. Those who supported the invasion were called "Tankies" by those who opposed it.
That would've been it, and it would have faded into history as an obscure piece of British leftist slang, if it weren't for the word's rediscovery decades later, where more modern leftists used the term in a half joking way among each other.
At some point over... Really just the past couple of years or so, tankie breached containment, and has been worming its way into non-leftist people's vocabularies, where it's lost any and all connection to its original meaning.
So when, say, OP of this thread uses it, it's unclear what they mean. Do they mean communists in general? Leftists in general? Supporters of China? What does it mean for a white, Western, leftist to 'support' China anyway? Is it just a general term for someone they deem Authoritarian? Or do they mean a specific kind of "Patriotic Socialist" who LARPs as a communist but actually holds deeply reactionary ideas?
It's all very unclear. So I wouldn't take "Tankie discourse" too seriously tbh. It's just a thought terminating cliche at this point. If you want to talk about any of those groups mentioned above... Just be specific and dunk on who you want to dunk on. There's legitimate, good faith, critiques to be made of all of them. Just make them, and be thoughtful about it.
But running around and calling anyone you don't like a Tankie doesn't foster good discussion. Especially when I have to sit down and decipher which one of 6 different possible definitions of "Tankie" someone might be referring to.
-
What is a Tankie?
:abbie-cocktail:
A miserable little pile of secrets.
But enough talk ...
Have at you!
:xi-reactionary-spotted:
-
A nerd/geek who compulsively collects miniature model tanks, often obsessed especially with the famous Soviet medium tank known as T-34
-
nobody really knows
-
Those who support authoritative regime. I think it's the new commies. Tend to be used on those who are sympathetic to Russia and China.
-
The USA has explicit foreign policy doctrine stating that using strongmen dictators is important for anticommunism. The USA supports over 70% of the world's dictators.
The USA also has the worlds largest prison population and uses them for slave labour.
The USA has been involved in many genocides over the years.
Are people who support the USA tankies?
-
So people who support Ukraine are tankies?
-
and neither are communists... makes sense.
-
Basically communists who defend Mao and Stalin. (And sometimes, oddly enough, the current governments of Russia and China.)

Sounds pretty tankie to me

Tankie.
