I fucking hate these shitheads, I was arguing with one earlier and no matter how many facts I gave him with proper sources he just refused to actually show any kind of respect

Same goes for tankies.
You cant logic someone out of a position they didnt logic themselves into.
They believe in this horseshit because they want to, not because they think it makes any sense. They believe in it because they are scared, stupid and confused.
I don’t try to defend them, fuck them, but after having so many arguments with tankies on lemmy I simply came to a conclusion that if I crticise ruzzia or China and someone comes to defense to them with well known propaganda “arguments” I just call them a bitchass tankie and block them
I remember when the whole Hexbeargate thing happened, one tankie accused a user here of being ableist for using a relatively (in my opinion) inoffensive word (it wasn’t a slur, but considering that one of the server owners found it offensive too, I’m not going to say what word it was here). You know, while defending the leaders who executed people for being disabled.
I still don’t quite understand who tankies are tbh, other than that they support/follow communism
They really don’t tbh, they like having the image of communism, but they support totalirian, brutal regimes like Ruzzia, China and North Korea. While all three like acting and saying they are communist, they aren’t.
Russia hasn’t been pretending to be communist/socialist since 1991.
China isn’t communist either.
But who will tell that to tankies?
Whaaaaat??? A nation with a stock market (=> workers don’t own the means of production) AND with billionaires isn’t communist?
Next you’re telling me North Korea isn’t a democratic republic.
Isn’t it a 1 party “democracy”, where the party in control is the Chinese Communist Party?
Isn’t it easier for me to just Google this rather than ask strangers on Lemmy?
right, its just a little hard for me to distinguish
Do yourself a favor and actually visit the scary tankie websites and see for yourself. Any information you’ll get from either sides will be biased, especially in this com.
basically someone with communist political views except that they support totalitarianism and will say good things about governments such as ussr and china despite never having been there
