Extreme right want us to think that this is full of tankies to give the impression that they are a opressed minority, is in fact a nasty resource that they use when they see they are loosing a debate or simply the presence in a physic or virtual space.
That's not really a thing neoliberals say...
They definitely complain about the tankies being a big part of the culture of Lemmy, and housing some of the biggest communities, but the statement in the comic isn't even remotely a thing neolibs or the .world demographic says
So this comic kinda just feels like a strange, confusing straw man...
Nothing appears to exist if you never open your eyes
The only times I hear of tankies is from how annoying they are in online forums, their only power being in their subreddits and lemmy instances. The only references to Marxists are from idiots repeating MAGA talking points.
the liberals got the world they fought so hard for when USSR was dissolved, against the will of the people, and they havent stopped crying about it since
You know it's gotten pretty bad when even the anarchist flag usernames are meming about how ridiculous the anti tankie attitude is.
"Progressive" Shitlibs when they allow bigots on their platform and Queer people dont like them
(Im pretty sure eveyone other than world users hate world)
.world user here. I also hate .world.
.world has now moved onto banning people for calling out transphobia. It was bad when they banned users for calling out the Democrats' involvement with the genocide of Palestinians, but now they ban users for being "aggresive" with transphobes.
in order to combat leftist propaganda lemmy.flatearth is now forcing disinformation onto its communities. The red scare runs deep.
I haven't been able to take the word "tankie" seriously in most cases since I asked that to someone on Reddit and they linked a meme praising anarchist Catalonia
Yeah, it's kind of lost all meaning. I've seen Marxists call Liberals tankies, and I've seen Liberals calls Marxists tankies. I've seen right wingers call Leftists tankies, and I've seen Leftists call Centerists tankies. I know where the word came from, and who the first tankies were but I rarely know what a person's intent is with that word anymore. Maybe it's just young people slang now and I'm just too old to get it.
Because I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it anymore and what's it seems weird and scary. And it'll happen to you!
