RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

Hope y'all are happy with NSPM-7...

Edit: thanks for the down votes, can't wait for the mods here to delete this, sorry for getting it off my chest, I guess y'all will be happy with the 'tankies' being rounded up by a fascist state....

Think maga, but somehow "socialist" and really, really likes China (and usually Russia) and will wave away any negative points about them. Overall, pretty annoying.

Edit: For more examples, just read the OP's comments. Not even joking, they're pretty decent examples of how tankies talk, if you see them outside of their native habitat (ie .ml).

Once more, but in your best David Attenborough voice.

"Here we have the common Tankie, one of Lemmy's more interesting denizens. Watch as they futility claim the superiority of communist China and rage at any mention that their utopian ideal has even a pastina of tarnish..."

pastina

It's got a nice rigatoni sheen.

Oh wow, hadn't even noticed that autocorrect messed that up.
