Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.
Rules:
- No bigotry of any kind.
- No tankies or right-wingers. Liberals are allowed so long as they are aware of this
- No genocide denial
We allow posts about tankie behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion.

Why the heck are there tankies in c/Tankiejerk?
Because non-Tankies generally aren't ban-happy power trippers who can handle criticism, even done in bad faith, unlike the .ml admins lol
I meant more like: Why are there so many tankies in a comm meant exclusively to make fun of them? Like for example I'm a devout Muslim and I don't go pick fights in c/atheistmemes even if I probably won't get banned for it.
Oh, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ kinda like the right-wingers who come here to Lemmy, they probably see themselves as some sort of "missionary" trying to "rescue" people from the evils of America. They're not exactly the politest bunch (once they figure they can't bring you to "their side" at least)
