@the_mighty_kracken@lemmy.world in response to your comment, it was not a mod, it was head lemmy.ml instance admin themselves that removed all those comments. This is what tankies do, be sure to check the megathread for even more documentation.
It's correct in the sense of the word, but not from where it comes. It was first used to distinguish communist party members who spoke out in defense of the Soviet use of tanks to suppress the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 and the 1968 Prague Spring.
But it's nitpicking - the same group of people also were behind the Tienanmen Square massacre.
I wonder if your response would fly in that thread.
I'm guessing not.
I agree; it's the same with the US fascists that say it's hate speech if you call them Nazis.
no, we care about that russia is doing the same thing today, nothing has changed over there except that they dropped the thin veneer of communism and went straight to kleptocracy. And i can't remember Austria giving Israel tanks. go touch some grass.
