Look, I hate tankies as much as the next person, but these posts are getting so boring. Call out tankies in the comments, not in posts.
The posts are the bait. They can’t resist em.
just saying, lemm.ee is federated with .ml and even hexbear and i only see this stuff coming from .world.
What stuff?
Leftist infighting during the second rise of fascism. I don’t recall ever seeing a Lemmy tankie insult anarchists or argue for defederation,and there’s more than a little truth to the saying that rabid anti-communists/Marxists always end up turning out to be pro-fascists in the end.
On the other hand, the tankies are spreading Putin’s propaganda so… Stop Fucking Doing That first.
Forget Stalin apologia, stop helping the 2025 fascists.
I’m so tired of extremism being allowed on the Fediverse… comunism, anarchism, eat the rich, whatever… this is exactly not what I was expecting when signing up for this. How people expect others to join this mess when there’s these types of people constantly doing activism on a extreme level?
Cringe
To live cringe is to live free
I don’t actually see the fediverse as being any more extreme than any other corner of the internet.
Do you want to make one anticommunist post for every member of leftist instances?
We’re all already left, Tankies aren’t left despite what they say, see: Stethoscope theory
Meanwhile Trump just keeps on Trumping
Tankies aren’t even leftists, they just think they are because someone decades ago got the idea to dress yet another heirarchy in a red flag and claim that it was temporary.
Nooooooo bro come on, you just gotta read more theory. /s
Your impression is spot on.
Let’s tell them that to their face
They’d be very angry about this if they could stop licking those boots for a minute
:O I can’t believe I haven’t done a KotH principal Moss meme on the wonderful .ml Tankies yet LMAO
Left unity this, left unity that. Stfu this why your dad left u
Let me know when the DNC starts counting your primary votes any more than the CCP.
Downvoting this meme is like the funniest thing you can do
Calling something the truth doesn’t make it the truth.
Yeah it’s shitty our privately ran parties don’t have fair primaries, but it seems better than having a dictator
I feel like only one of us thinks these are both bad governments.
You say that like we like either, the only good thing about the DNC is that it isn’t the GOP.
I feel like there was a party that went on endlessly about how democracy was its own virtue for 8 years… say what you want about the GOP, they have a democratic primary process the party doesn’t rig ahead of time…
[edit: I LOVE how you party line sheep mass downvote me when I call out your bullshit, it is why I live, tbh, keep giving me fuel with your impotent downvoting instead of starting a political movement that competes with the GOP and just cockblocking us]
Interesting that ICE agents invading schools to kidnap children and put them in concentration camps is “say what you want about the GOP”.
Interesting that the end to birthright citizenship is “say what you want about th GOP”.
Interesting that trans erasure and genocide is “say what you want about the GOP”.
Interesting that the annexation of Gaza into Israel is “say what you want about the GOP”.
None of that matters to you though. When it comes to the GOP, the only thing that really matters to you is not people saying what they want, because you allowed it, but that the GOP upheld the values of Democracy in it’s primary elections and did not rig it’s primary for someone other than Donald Trump to win.
Say what you want about the GOP.
I’m glad that your faith in the party of the Cheneys brings you comfort in these dark times
The DNC did count primary votes. What evidence is there to the contrary? Are you talking about the superdelegate system that some argue kept Bernie from being the candidate in 2016 and that was subsequently eliminated? Yeah they still counted very vote in 2016 and Hillary had more. I didn’t like it either, but knew plenty people who were excited about her.
The DNC blocked a presidential primary from happening like 8 months ago…
Keep telling yourself that while these political geniuses lose every non-midterm election of the rest of your life, empowering the GOP for decades to come. At least they did nothing wrong and it’s the voters’ fault.
I didn’t say that at all. The entire system is awful and the Democratic leadership is awful. At the same time, the DNC counted every vote and there was a democratic primary in 2024.
In which they threatened all viable opposition to keep them out of the primary, leading the sole entrant to be a quixotic ice cream millionaire who didn’t plan to run for reelection so he didn’t care about threats to end his political career from the party. You know, democracy.
Who did they threaten?
