The comments are what you expect. All agree that we’re psychopaths who support genocide and just want authority as a goal in itself. All agree we do no leftist praxis, I guess just based on vibes. One user wrote:
let’s be honest, they should be removed from society
which is cool. One-on-one, online or in person, I’m pretty patient with people like this, but when I see a whole thread like this with hundreds of upvotes and no pushback it makes me feel tired.

The democracy thread she commented in right before posting this: https://lemmy.ml/comment/5160468
undermine democracy
oh no, if that happens… then even if 80% of Americans want universal healthcare we wouldn’t get it!
I have a soft spot for 196. I used to frequent it pretty heavily and a lot of the people there are so fucking sweet but unfortunately so misguided. Their anti-tankie rhetoric often comes from a place genuine concern, they truly believe in democracy under capitalism and radically changing the system from capitalism means removing democracy in their heads. Some of them can be depropagandized, I am living proof of that and I hope one day they’ll come to understand.
I don’t see how someone who lived though the 2020 BLM protests and covid and still thinks they live in a democracy can be radicalized.
If watching every city’s police respond to protests against police brutality with more brutality while every dem increased their funding and republican begged for the blood of children, while a million Americans are sacrificed at the alter of capital didn’t wake them up, I can’t conceive of a scenario that would.
The military using live ammo? Famine?
Thar be
in that community.I never see “kick Nazis out of 196”. Interesting
i never see ‘kick chasers out of 196’. interesting

Kinda weird that they hate “red fash” more than regular fash
They’ll claim it is because there arent very many fascists in their space
It’s always weird seeing trans people hanging out with thinly veiled fascists and chasers yet spending all their energy being mad about ‘tankies.’
Hope it works out for em.
4chan and its consequences
Real nice “leftist” community they’ve got over there
Edit: also this,
They are so close to realizing that the word is as meaningless as “woke”
It isn’t meaningless, in the same way “woke” isn’t meaningless. It is purely reactionary. A primal visceral hatred of change, of a shift in status (particularly their own), of anything that might - even superficially - undermine their own sense of supremacy.
Woke is the sentiment that causes people to reject the modern state of affairs.
Tankies are the agents of change, coming to plow up their fields of strange fruit.

didnt you get banned from there for a similar call out
Yeah, I got suspended from the original sub ages ago bcs I got into a heated argument at someone in the replies to an “upvote to scare the tankies” meme that was just a picture of Syngman Rhee and then banned at a later date over getting angry at someone for saying that the US should go back into Afghanistan to liberate them from the Taliban.
I also got banned from the blahaj version recently for saying something along the lines of “ngl, it’s sus af that you’re accusing someone of being a tankie for posting an anti-fascist, anti US government meme” in reply to a comment that said “kick tankies out of 196” in the comments to that meme about the US hiring Nazi officials
i just wish blahaj banned 196 so we could all have a nice established trans specific server to be on without being harassed by chasers
. i hate how the queer community is so fragmented on the fediversedeleted by creator
yeah but maybe a specific one? but that still doesnt solve the problem of not being able to communicate with users that have instances that are defed with each other.
it makes me feel like just hopping off the fediverse altogether is the way to go so that we have a more controlled and safe environment. our specter will still haunt them and they will give us free ads. since the structure is doomed to fracture the queer community maybe its just best to create a new situation, idfk.

Jesus Christ what the fuck
meme that was just a picture of Syngman Rhee
A Yankee sock puppet that spent more of his life speaking English instead of his mother tongue?
Ooooooo spoooooky
man i just hate “authoritarianism”!
Calling it a subreddit when you’re not on reddit. I’m sorry, it’s a terminal case of :lemmitor:#
they “should be physically removed” 🚁
That’s a dog whistle towards Pinochet, right?
Anti-communists once again proving they’ll side with fascists without a second’s hesitation.

Contributes to climate change

Cringe fascist dogwhistle
-
Overplayed meme
Chad pushing fascists into the cuck pit:
-
Return fascist to soil

Even Google understands the reference

Forever funny
Credit where credit is due, Yugoslavian partisans knew what to do with a fascist.

Yeah
Holy cow the anti tankies are actually just fascists who possibly could have guessed.
Anti-authoritarian is when you ban certain political persuasions from public life
social democracy is objectively the moderate wing of fascism
Who? What?
i remember exact same meme was posted on r/196 but instead of “tankies” there were “neoliberals”. Ironic

you ever been to america? anticommunism is compulsory here.
I don’t think I’ve ever posted there. I saw it on my feed. It just tires me out to imagine how many people only know about us through posts like that.
The modlog sure is a treat
fucking lmao
Yeah
when you see a ban reason and it’s just “Tankie,” and you look at the comments and it’s just upvoted factual information.
No no, it’s totally normal to ban tankies on sight but debate openly ableist users.
V*ushites making a claim on being the only real communists once again.
what if I’m using it scientifically?
you’re not
