Legacy media talking about tankies? Let’s fucking gooooooooo

Edit: June of 2020? Talk about a lack of momentum. Let’s get those numbers up.

Do it! Let's have the chuds learn the term tankie! They'll call everyone even vaguely lib a tankie. AOC is a tankie. Biden is a tankie. We'll get hilarious moments of Vaushite radlibs desperately trying to save face, saying "but I'm not a tankie", since they've spent the past few years trying to make anyone they can label a tankie persona non grata. And then, after a few years, the term will die out completely. Similar to how no one says SJW anymore.

Biden refutes it by saying he hates Chinese people, calls Trump a tankie for wanting to end the Korean War

Interesting because anti-fascists actually exist in real life and will deliver beat downs on nazis at far right gatherings whereas tankies only shit post on the internet.

[-] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 42 points 5 months ago

I mean, that's kinda true and "tankies" is a really useless term, but what % of those anti-fascists hold beliefs that would get them called tankies in most online political spaces? How many self identify?

[-] Procapra@hexbear.net 19 points 5 months ago

Exactly. There are plenty of "tankies" lumped under that antifa banner.

[-] umbrella@lemmy.ml 9 points 5 months ago

honestly thats just different names for 'leftists'

[-] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 13 points 5 months ago

Guaranteed I’ve beat down more nazis than you but go off bud.

[-] idkmybffjoeysteel@hexbear.net 17 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

thank you for your service

[-] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 19 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Well sorry man but it just irritates me when people go online and try to paint ML movements as a bunch of wienery keyboard wussies when that’s absolutely not how it is, we are the most violently opposed to nazi movements and literally the only groups who actually do anything useful about them. And far more of us are construction guys who train than you’re giving us credit for. Just remember that the next time you go to a punk or metal show and there’s no nazis there, you’re welcome.

[-] Dessa@hexbear.net 11 points 5 months ago

I dunno. Gonna need you to beat up a few more, just to be sure

[-] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 12 points 5 months ago

Oh don’t worry, I ain’t stopping on anyone’s account. I made some move out of the neighborhood last year, much to the protestation of my wife for worry that they would start vandalizing our house or something if I kept threatening them. But they were cowards because they’re Nazi goofs and moved away instead.

But generally the nazis don’t come to the bars or shows me or my buddies go to anymore because we have a zero tolerance policy for them and we aren’t afraid of a fight.

Can I get paid to be a tankie expert? How does one apply?

[-] Hestia@hexbear.net 12 points 5 months ago

You have to work for the CIA, or other federal agencies.

[-] emizeko@hexbear.net 25 points 5 months ago

I wanted this to be real but I can't find the article

[-] AernaLingus@hexbear.net 31 points 5 months ago

Yeah, it's fake. The dead giveaway is that the category for the story is also "tankies", which needless to say is not an actual category on the Fox News website (actual categories include Joe Biden, Education, Politics, Border Security, and Antisemitism Exposed)

[-] citrussy_capybara@hexbear.net 12 points 5 months ago

the site does have an actual “Antifa” category so if “tankies” ever catches on it will become real

[-] Tabitha@hexbear.net 8 points 5 months ago

im surprised they haven't moved on to tankies yet, all the anti-antifa (double negative makes that profa) is kind of a bad thing to self-identify as, although I suppose the drawback with using "tankie" is that tanks are awesome and requires knowing the most basic of history to explain.

i cropped it from a random twitter , date it from 2022 it seems..

[-] TheKanzler@hexbear.net 16 points 5 months ago

IIRC it's an old meme from around 2021, it's dated 2022 because it was supposed to be a joke about a potential future article in which they actually use the word "tankie"
