got banned from @memes for posting an anti-tankie meme (at least one mod is a tankie of course)
worth it though
What exactly is a tankie?
is a perfect example of a tankie. Constant and unironic support of Russia, an whenever their current imperialist and authoritarian efforts get brought up the response is “well the US is worse”. They post hundreds of times a day. They constantly think they are here to “debate”, although they are genuinely not actually capable. They think they want to see something like the USSR come back, when in reality they are a highly paid software developer living in Toronto, and they can only have this kind of opinion because they live in a western democracy.
They are the authoritaian left equivalent of a libertarian or Trumper, but realistically they are just dorks with no grounding in reality.
Scan through his comments and it will become clear.
@Pinklacey “tankie” is slang for someone who uncritically admires and praises the Soviet Union, Red China, or their modern equivalents (i.e. Russia and modern China, even though they cannot reasonably be called “communist”)
These days tankie is used to describe anyone left of Hitler depending on your agenda. The term is meaningless. I reserve judgment because I don’t know what you did there.
All of ml is tankie space, my dude. Come on over to sh.itjust.works, also post your ban to https://sh.itjust.works/c/meanwhileongrad
