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.

TLDR: I say he should probably leave and join Lemmygrad and call him Tankie. He is upset, says he is not pro China just criticizing Germany's Foreign Minister. The first thing I see on his Account is Chinese propaganda.

You could think these guys might be smart enough to know that people can see what they post. Maybe all the Propaganda is rotting their brain.

A dishonest red fascist? Perish the thought.

Cunts giving communism a bad name.

Google translate for us English-speaking monoglots...

I'll get in line too. It's not exactly diplomatically exciting. Not to mention the fact that she gave an interview to such a lying broadcaster. A real disgrace as Foreign Minister.

@FaulerFuffi

A “true disgrace”? In all the drama in the world, is THAT a “true” “ shame ”?

Guildo

Yes why not? Can I do stupid things now because everyone else is doing bigger stupid things?

Interesting. 1,400 comments in 3 months? That's about 15 comments per day. Many of them with negative votes. Maybe you should switch to Hexbear and/or Lemmygrad you power tankie and leave us people who don't have China's chopsticks somewhere else alone?

So just because I criticize Baerbock am I a fan of today's China? When I find myself exposed to such accusations here, it is clear that I comment a lot. I don't feel like answering all the crap either, but I just don't want to leave it hanging there either. And 15 isn't really that much if I have to constantly listen to such accusations. Many users walk around here with blinders on and should go back to Reddit. Most people fit in better there. I have already referred to projections as a psychological phenomenon elsewhere. Just because I'm not on Baerbock's side doesn't mean I'm on Xi's side. Just because I accept the diplomatic rules of the game doesn't mean I'm defending Xi. Just because I deal objectively with China doesn't mean that I think China is great. The fact is that, like you, I am outraged by many things and also criticize them.

Oh and because you don't like China you post Chinese propaganda songs? That's a very interesting way of not being on the side of China 🥸

Guildo

Can you explain to me what this has to do with Xi? Today's China has been revisionist since Deng Xiaoping. I knew this was coming. But it's just a clumsy attempt. Better look for statements that defend today's China. You won't find them. I commented several times about the (for my part) negative changes in China shortly before Mao's death.

So what? You're just a fan of the older dictatorial China. That doesn't make it any better, do you know that? I don't know whether the great famine caused your brain to shrink or whether you were a little too fond of the red paint. But every approach you take is despicable and you are a bad person because of this attitude alone.

Guildo

At least you are able to tell the two apart. Well, it's at least something :)
