Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.

Rules:

  1. Be civil and no bigotry of any kind.
  2. No tankies or right-wingers. Liberals are allowed so long as they are aware of this
  3. No genocide denial

We allow posts about tankie behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion. For a more general community !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works is recommended.

I just had to share this with someone else.

Looks like they got banned shortly after.

They're like the sovcits of armchair international politics.

They know the 'real truth'. You have to be part of the special club to actually understand.

Jesus... I can't read responses that long. It's the Internet, tighten up your message.

And if you can't, maybe it's a shit message.

lmao this motherfucker is so deep in the campism that they openly went to bat for Imperial Japan a couple of weeks ago

Nanjing wasn't even that bad, someone had to punish them for the crime of being Chinese. /s

Damn, so scattershot it's like talking to a shotgun.

[–] breakingcups@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

I feel like talking to a shotgun would hurt my brain less.

This is beautiful. May I steal it?

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

I probably stole it from somewhere I don't remember, so I grant you permission to kidnap what I have rightfully stolen 🙏

Aside from mixing up Caterbury and Salisbury, not knowing the operation TOXIC DAGGER is a yearly training excercise, and forgetting that political assassinations with methods that leave a Russian autograph is Putin's modus operandi, and thinking that 'western media' caused Navalny to die in a Russian prison, not bad.

I mean; they couldn't get a single thing right, but not bad.

Wonder what that dude saw that made him think that? Or you think he's actually a Russian bot.

Gotta be real I've seen tankie used so much to just put down socialists or people who care about ending genocide that I didn't think people like that guy actually were actually on Lemmy 👀👀👀

Really curious how someone comes to have those opinions

Oh there's plenty of these, unfortunately. They often show up under posts mentioning Ukraine, too.

[–] Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Could you share the link to that thread?

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 6 points 4 weeks ago

Found it. All the schizoposting has been scrubbed though.
