Apparently I’m now a shitlib for not buying into this disgusting tankie propaganda that it was all the Wests fault and Stalin had to ally with Hitler.
For a mod who loves to ban others for bad jacketing, they sure have no problem doing it to other anarchists.
The Ban:
The Context:
I love how all tankie defense boils down to “dO yOuR OwN ReSeArCh”
Where “your own research” means “Cowbee’s research.”
Def the funniest part of the post
agree blindly with our threadbare propaganda or you’re a sheep!!!
What is cowbee? Google isn’t helping
A blatherer whose every response seems to involve trying to get someone to read a book that i’m starting to suspect they wrote, or are actually a fourteen year old who read their first thing that Spoke to them.
Cowbee did not write Blackshirts and Reds. Lol
An infamous tankie on Lemmy
I did my own research and it disagrees with tankies’ conclusions. Now what?
Now you’re a banned shitlib!
Then you’ve been brainwashed with western propaganda is they’re their usual go to
And also they’re Russophobic, Sinophobic, a total shitlib, and most of all, banned for Rule 1 and 2 (having a dissenting opinion)
I was raised and educated by people who grew up in USSR. If it was a paradise like tankies claim, those people would know.
Yeah they really don’t seem to realise that this is a thing in living memory. As in there are people who walk among them who were actually alive when the USSR existed.
They are too exhausted by all their research to form proper arguments. 🙂↕️
They’re too used to banning dissent from their online spaces that they don’t have a clue how to actually make an argument that holds any water or without resorting to bad faith tactics. Their arguments never hold up to scrutiny.
Damn that sounds a lot like MAGA
Tankies and MAGA have more similarities than differences. The only real distinction is which authoritarians they worship.
Tankies need their safe space for same reasons as Nazis.
Wish it was only tankies. But with them, there’s the additional implication that all aspects of Soviet history should be public knowledge, and if you do not know these things that alone makes you a … reactionary? capitalist bootlicker? Something like that.
My experience with these people is that they are extremely selectively informed about Soviet history. So ironically, they are actually quite ignorant on the topic, but they expect only their very specific cherry-picked facts and interpretations to be well understood by everyone, but none of the context or intervening events that might paint the USSR as anything other than the most benevolent organization in all of history.
That is very probably more true than what I wrote.
