I hate to ask, but can someone help me understand what .ml is doing differently? And what's a tankie? Genuinely asking
Here's a recap post
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie
Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support or defend acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the occurrence of the events thereof.
Thanks! (Tanks?)
Edit: I was wrong below and am corrected in replies to this comment.
~~The moniker Tankie is a reference to the Tiananmen Square Massacre because of their minimalizing or outright denials regarding the incident.~~
It predates that, actually. Goes back to the USSR sending tanks into Eastern Europe to put down rebellion.
Yep, the Prague spring.
No, it was coined for those who supported the soviet invasions of Hungary and czechoslovakia in 1956 and 1968.
ITT severe kamalacaust/lib cope.
Is there any actual evidence of downvotes?
People saying "yes there's proof" but aren't giving any. Weird...
yes
So, you're going to just declare the admins of multiple instances just lying about things then?
