easy to say that now, but you clearly haven’t met many tankies or know what they want

Tankies be like: “based comrade ICE agents just like China!”

I’d appreciate if you not engage in this sort of tankie rhetoric. They will not “fumble” if you actually go support them instead of typing behind your .world alt

yeah no “may day” is guarantee to bring out all the tankies. if you spot them wearing red shirts and Palestine pins, you need to know that they’re more or less fascist nazis and deserve to be treated as such 🤛

excuse me for trying to save our democracy from tankies that were trying to delegitimize it

it doesn’t matter who came up with it if only tankies use the quote

Yeah, okay. Totally not gonna be surprised when I see you get posted to !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works

EDIT: Also that’s a curious reaction to getting called out. All you had to say was “I’m not a tankie, I’m sorry for using their rhetoric” and this whole thing would’ve been cleared up.

I’ve had the same experience. Hexbear won’t accept any nuance when it comes to Palestine or homeless people.

So what? At least they’re not tankies.

good, you shouldn’t. It’s a tankie dogwhistle

I want to support the movement, but every time I go a protest I’m surrounded by tankies

EDIT: Thanks for the downvote tankies, but it’s true. There’s always a ton of them wearing red shirts and Palestine pins

EDIT 2: Obvious brigading is obvious ⬇

so you admit you’re a tankie alt? Good job, see you on !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works lol

What a hexbear style of argumentation. Nice alt LOL. You’re telling me Russia and China should be allowed to prosecute anyone?

sixers are probably cooked for the next 5 years

Is there any way to set one up that protects the anonymity of the people involved (where even the organizers don’t know each other’s real names) for opsec purposes?

you will probably stop seeing much of that if you block users that post a lot to fediverselore and meanwhileongrad. They’re like the /r/subredditdrama of lemmy

confused by exactly how badly the people there were going at each others throats in the comments

I’m reading that thread and I don’t see anyone being aggressive.

someone there also mentioned Nixonland which actually is a good book to understand the circumstances of era
