Tanks are inherently, like, super freakin' rad. idk why anyone would ever think it is an effective insult lol i wish i was in a tank right now (or at least one of those cool 8-wheeled gun carrier/APC thingies)

Now I just reply to them that I'm an adult who wears a diaper and I hate tankies too. No matter what Stalin Big Spoon tantrum follows, I just wholesale agree with it as an adult wearing a diaper.

This is unfair to all our ABDL comrades

[-] happybadger@hexbear.net 22 points 10 months ago

It's not a fetish thing. I just feel safer, like tankie disinformation can't reach me if I'm wearing my diaper. I can sit there in my diaper and support Ukraine in peace.

Tank is not an offensive weapon anymore.

[-] AntiOutsideAktion@hexbear.net 31 points 10 months ago

I'm not going to stop calling tankies red fascists because words don't have meanings they only have emotions and I'm very upset at them

[-] ScienceBear@hexbear.net 30 points 10 months ago

Love how this all relies on the belief that posting is praxis, and that by posting "tankie" you are saving the world from a future unspecified global dictator.

I think they are a legitimate threat to freedom

Lol. Feel like you should be prioritizing the legislators taking away your freedom and not some guy with a Stalin profile picture making fun of Europeans for buying marked up Russian oil from India

Bringing back memories of "the just stop killing people you fucking dicks" meme that would surface on reddit over a decade ago.

[-] DanicaTheRebel@hexbear.net 18 points 10 months ago

Left of Bernie is far too generous. I've seen Trumpsters and even other liberals called tankies by internet libs for not supporting nuking Russia. More like left of Reagan, Thatcher, and Himmler.

If you are more concerned with "authoritarian" (read: "practical") leftism than you are with actual nazis then you have my utmost disrespect.

Not to be that guy, but

These people probably also use hand sanitizer and antibiotics 100% of the time

[-] idkmybffjoeysteel@hexbear.net 7 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Fun-fact, using anti-bacterial hand wash all the time is not only harmful to your skin and presumably the environment, it is also redundant (because soap does all the work anyway), and may result in the development of anti-microbial resistant bacteria.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
