Dunking on Tankies from a leftist perspective.
A tankie is someone who defends/supports authoritarian or even totalitarian regimes who call themselves "socialist". The term originated from people supporting the 1956 invasion of Hungary by the Soviet Union. Nowadays they are just terminally online, denying genocides, and falling for totalitarian propaganda and calling such regimes "true democracies". remember to censor usernames when necessary.

That looks like a dead sub. Not sure why I should care
Yeah it’s one of the two vegan Lemmy instances.
I’m just sad they’re advocating for Russia to invade Ukraine and claiming that both us election candidates are the same.
At least there is Lemmy.vg.
Yeah that would classify as "tankie shit" to me. Anyone with half a brain (like myself and I'm not American) can see that there are fairly large differences between the two political parties (and some very striking similarities). They are after all all Conservative, right-wing parties.
I just got perma banned for pointing out the situation. Further proving my point about them being tankies. They don't like their ideas challenged.
No, you got permabanned for posting here. As well as the alts I could find. You posted a screenshot of yourself logged in, "Well".
I actually decide not to defederate because of your position and I thought we were friends but also wanted to have a discussion about what I thought as well. My disagreement with you wasn't a good reason for you to post about this in a meta community and draw support for your cause and manipulate the thread.
I really wish I shut down the instance when I wanted. I really regret allowing you to push me to grow the instance beyond what I was comfortable with and I am deeply disappointed by your behavior. Please leave me and my community alone.
