In my country we have antifa for antifascists. Are you here some kind of anti-tankies? Because I see far, far more posts about antitankies fighting supposed tankies than I see people fighting fascists.
Tankies wpuld literally support the reincarnation of hitler if he said "america bad" they worship genocidal dictators on the sole grounds they oppose America. They hold literally no leftists values. They just like authority
Thing is, I've never seen a tankie. I've already talked to many fascists here on lemmy though.
Depends on what subs/instances you frequent. Since the reddit migration brought a lot of liberals and centrists to lemmy, many of the tankie types have been drowned out by sheer numbers and have retreated to hexbear and lemmygrad etc.
However, there's also a decent number of fasicsts and neocons who came from reddit and are all over exploding heads, shitjustworks etc
I don't really see those users much because I don't frequent their spaces. I tend to be in more leftist spaces so I see more tankies.
And of course there was that one disastrous week or so where we gave federation with hexbear a chance and they just flung tankie shit everywhere.
Again, that's anti-tankie memes I see every week. Not tankie ones. It's the anti-tankies who are very active, not the tankies.
They're active in comments, but they're also a small minority

In the US, antifa vs. fascists is the actual conflict bubbling up in real life. Only online do people care about tankies. They're a test for moderation and decentralization so people can keep them from being disruptive, not a real concern for freedom of expression. Critical support for Russia's invasion (or disruption of support for Ukraine) is way more likely to come from the alt-right fascists than pseudo-left online tankies.
That's mostly because pseudo intellectual "leftist" tankies are almost exclusively found online. There's no real presence irl
Other than, you know, the millions and millions and millions of them organised in parties throughout the world.
These aren't leftists. They're trolls.
Agreed.
That's because we're on .world and the main tankie instances are blocked. OP is talking about leaks into other instances. It's a bad faith argument. Fuck tankies.
Boo!
Tankies are more of a problem on Lemmy than fascists.
Communists are literally the developers of lemmy
Tankies aren't communists. It's like saying Trump is a LGBT supporter.
I guess you're half a fascist.
oh yeah? Well you're a terrorist, so there, take that!
Tankies ARE fascists! Like all communists.
Historically, who funded fascists and who fought them?
Italian fascists were communists. German fascists were communists.
I have a feeling everyone involved in those equations would disagree.
Yet, but specifying this, you focus the discussion on the flaws of the left, rather than the actual fascists who are training, arming, and preparing coops in the western world, like they did in the US not so long ago.
Yet here we are talking about how communists are also fascists...
Because when the Knight of the Long Knife 2: Electric Boogaloo hits, the people talking about communists being fascists will be marching, arm-in-arm with the actual fascists. It's really a genius con when you stop to think about it, in theory, we'd never see it coming if it wasn't already materially predicted and observed.
They ARE actual fascists, that's the thing.
So Trump is communist? Since when?
Us VS them totalitarian mentality. Doesn't matter how you call these fucks, they all are the same.
Not all fascists are communist, but they say all communists are fascist
What does this even mean LMFAO
They're using "fascist" when they mean "authoritarian" or "totalitarian".
In all fairness, there's very little difference. Communism isn't supposed to be authoritarian, but paint enough murals of someone and see what that does to their ego.
You should read some communist literature before pronouncing about it.
Smartest fascist
