I just realised, I can't post anything on lemmy.ml

So, I checked https://lemmy.ml/modlog, there's a new moderator.

All posts and comments talking about China, Jinping, Russia, and Putin have been deleted and users banned

OOTL what are tankies?

[–] LarkinDePark@lemmygrad.ml 15 points 1 year ago

Just a slur that the right uses against real leftists rather than larping liberals.

Someone who's so anti America, whether justified or not, that they make the mistake of thinking anything the US likes is bad and anything it dislikes is good. Hence, its rivals can do no wrong.

i've heard so many takes on defining what a tankie is, and i gotta give it to you, this one's the worst, yet.

I could always be less charitable if you'd like and say it's someone who dislikes dissent against authoritarian leaders and simps for dictators.
