Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.

Rules:

  1. No bigotry of any kind.
  2. No tankies or right-wingers. Liberals are allowed so long as they are aware of this
  3. No genocide denial

We allow posts about tankie behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion.

Curious about non-tankie leftism? If you've got a little patience for 19th century academic style, let a little Marx and Kropotkin be your primer!

Marx's Communist Manifesto, short and accessible! Highly recommended if you haven't read it

Kropotkin's Conquest Of Bread

Selected works of Marx

Tankies forget that the CCP is against the lgbtq.

I saw one of them claiming China was more LGBT friendly than the use the other day and it took me a second to process that they were being completely serious.

After hearing what China did to the Uyghur (sp?) people, this is not surprising at all

[–] phillaholic@lemm.ee 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They believe that’s a hoax.

Tankies, keep up.

I wish they'd just go to China by themselves so we may never hear from them again.

"N-no, you see, they have to censor us because we're Western dogs... self-flagellation for the Comrade-Chairman will redeem us of our sin of birth!"

Useful idiots are like chained guard dogs. They belong outside the house.

That website is CIA propaganda! But also it's a good thing and China's firewall is necessary to prevent the poison of western ideology from ruining glorious CPC!

something something free healthcare that probably exists over there

[–] dangblingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Now if only dbzer0 would defederate them.

[–] bingbong@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 years ago

Fingers crossed!

Not even the ones who's figurative dick they figuratively sucking want them. I wonder why they're not defederated form anywhere yet. (Same with Lemmygrad and to some extend Kbin)

[–] EnglishMobster@lemmy.world 30 points 2 years ago

Kbin doesn't have a tankie problem, though?

The guy running Kbin has a reasonable head on his shoulders. I've never seen any problematic folks there. Heck, Kbin is one of the places Beehaw still federates with.

[–] Serinus@lemmy.ml 12 points 2 years ago

They're defederated from @lemmy.world and the all feed there is so, so much better for it.

[–] PugJesus@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Wait, Kbin? Kbin is pretty normie. I should know, I generally stick to Kbin mags.

@Dirk

I do kbin mostly and I can't say I've ever seen a single hexbear post or mag (and only a handful of their users) unless it was someone else telling me what hexbear is or complaining about them.

[–] cacheson@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

They haven't whitelisted kbin, so you won't see their posts (edit: unless they're made to non-hexbear communities). Only their comments on other instances, and a fair number have blocked them at this point.

[–] bingbong@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Wait, if they're not federated, then their comments are still visible?

[–] cacheson@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

If I understand correctly, their posts and comments to communities on other instances will still remain visible to you until your instance specifically blocks them. Hexbear won't talk directly talk to kbin, but will talk to lemm.ee, and lemm.ee will tell kbin about posts and comments that hexbear users have made on lemm.ee's communities.
