Can we have something like tankiejerk here? I seriously liked browsing that sub after a bad day with the red fashs.

[–] Kaladin_Stormblessed@lemmy.blahaj.zone 38 points 2 years ago (12 children)

that sub often tended towards outright anti-leftism

That's the unfortunate thing.

Start criticizing the Soviet union and you'll end up with a bunch of people left bashing in general.

what with all the anti-communist fascists and all

"tankies" criticize the Soviet union, you know? They also criticize the ebil See See Pee but apparently there's no room for nuance

What's your definition of "tankie"? If you're willing to call out Putin's homophobic journalist murdering authoritarian bullshit and the Chinese government's massacring of protesters and genociding of ethnic minorities you're not a tankie imo, you're just a communist.

didn't they have a problem with people doing alt-right dogwhistles about anti-white racism recently? and it got so bad that they had to make a mod announcement telling people to stop doing it and all of the users started trying to explain to the mods how it definitely wasn't a right wing dogwhistle
