Most tankies are indistinguishable from normal people if you don’t talk about politics.
It’s almost like just about everyone is normal people.
right?
You’re not normal if you’re not weird.
So the normal ones are weird? And the weird ones are normal? Does the transitive property come into play here?
I used to know someone who said “if you’re not weird, you’re not normal”. I think probably everyone is weird in their own way.
Their news, or world news, I forget exactly, has been the first long time subscribed comm I finally ditched. Anything posted there with a relation to the USA is going to inevitably devolve into ‘western imperialism’, ‘dems evil’, ‘china supreme’ etc. With any dissenting commentary being at best piled on to say how wrong it is, and just as likely deleted.
I’ve got a comment removed for using the term “tankie triade” on .ml. There are reasons to be annoyed
I’ve seen a lot of people from .ml who advocate historical revisionism regarding Chinese and Soviet crimes.
Man, you can lock the whole instance for yourself, you don’t have to make the decision for everyone.
Blocking doesn’t solve the problem of the misinformation, Russian/Chinese propaganda, genocide denialism and human rights abuse denials they push
And also, I’m not making a decision for anyone
Yeah, like this one dude who keeps pushing this weird political agenda against Marxists as the world slips into fascism because he doesn’t understand the concept of prioritization.
A whole crusade just so Breitbart articles can get posted comfortably with only gentle downvotes as pushback.
I’m not against socialism/communism, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I’d be happy to see the fall of capitalism in my lifetime.
Just not replacing it with just another flavor of authoritarianism, which is what the Tankies push which is what the current regimes of China and Russia are
marx was not a statist, leftism is about the destruction of heirachy, just because some idiots think they will be the king to control their pawns doesnt mean that is what the political theory suggests.
did you like… read it? by statist I assume you mean in favor of a state?
marx understood the nessesity of the state, but the end goal is a stateless society
Because tankies are just facists in red~
Tankies and facists do genocide, and two thinga can be bad at the same time! Imagine that!
So do liberals.
Do you think everyone should defederate .world?
I’m down. I’d fucking love not having to yell at both people that don’t know what words mean and support modern genocide and people that do know what words mean but can’t get over the fact that America Bad does not make Russia/China good.
No?
It’s different?
Perhaps because liberal genocide, like communist genocide, is a failure of ideological ethics instead of a feature like in black fascism?
Yes, neoliberal regimes at least have conducted genocides, although it’d point it out as authoritarian regimes.
No, not really - it’s mostly about telling the tankies that they are the same as their most hated enemy.
And the only difference between .ml and .world would be denial of genocide, at least as I’ve seen no denial of native genocides in Canada, US, scandinavia, or similar - neither any denial of the ongoing genocide in palestine. Ofcourse that could just be less noticed and talked about, but they don’t ban you for saying that the US is doing genocide
It’s a good thing .world doesn’t deny any major contemporary genocides or carry water for the party that started it… [rolls eyes so hard I die]
would love to hear specifics??
You neolibs have almost mastered the art of gaslighting as much as the Trump chuds. Congrats!
Asks to hear specifics
You: THATS GASLIGHTING!
what‽
Removed by mod
LMAO, nobody’s been denying what’s happening there, most of us have been saying that Trump would be, at the time pre election, far far far worse for Palestine and very bad news for everyone. And has simply been proven since.
Exactly what we’ve been saying is coming to pass, but a VotE fOr HaRRis iS a VotE foR geNoCiDe amiright?
ok it is palestine related, i really havent seen any zionists on lemmy, let alone .world specifically.
edit: also the dnc arnt left wing so idk how i can really be lumped in with them, also because im not from the US, but i guess you chuds are
edit2: says theyre leftwing uses abelist slur
Care to elaborate?
You can block them, so you don’t have to see their posts (or their comments, some apps allow you to block the comments as well iirc). Or you can move to an instance that chose to defederate with them.
just block the instance man these type of posts are for toddlers
Yeah just what we need, a whole bunch of people sticking their head in the sand so when new people try it leaving Reddit they can see all those Tankie comments unopposed and go “F this place, it’s just Voat 2.0”
These posts make me feel bad for .ml users. They’ve been pretty friendly in my experience.
You clearly didn’t voice any sort of doubt or disagreement for the glorious nation state known as People’s Republic of China
Most of the CCP dick suckers I saw were on Reddit. Like it’s possible to be Communist and be against authoritarian regimes.

That places gives NCD a run for its money for credibility.
How? Most screenshots are of direct live comments/posts, contain the direct link and/or screenshots of the verifiable modlog itself
There’s plenty of history of sock puppeting and brigading. Don’t need screenshots to look up post histories and the modlogs themselves, either.

What does that have to do with the constant suppression of dissent the mods and admins of .ml do? That’s probably the bulk of the posts, showing what was removed under that RULE1 catchall of theirs (Which btw is mostly unjustified). Most of the time something is removed under R1, it’s because it was a negative of China, Russia or NK, no matter how right or correct it is.

It’s for ease of documentation and discussion, modlog entries are kind of a pita to dig through once they start getting older, though if you’re determined enough to verify something then you can still do that.
There are reactionaries there :/ For instance they make fun of content warnings for vegans. I knew then that wasn’t the place for me.
While I do agree with you, I have to say that the anti tankie posts are getting a bit much, especially since there is a dedicated community for that already. And the posts and comments you provide also don’t even have upvotes sometimes. So please for your and our sanity, tune it down a notch
While I haven’t had to deal with much of the bad .ml users, I had a long comment thread with some conservative guy who got so mad he changed his bio to say “after the last experience, proudly homophobic”. I reported it to the admins of the instance and they didnt ban even after all that shit.
