the claim that Palestine isn’t a separate state

Tankies operate on a very simple basis:

US bad, so if anything hates US then it must be good

proof?

get back to work dessalines

interesting

Can you go into more detail?

So you’re upset over people using crossposts?

But if it’s a crosspost, then can’t people just visit the original source?

Can you go into more detail?

Content theft? What even is that?

yes

It’s so easy not to celebrate violence. Why do they fail every time?

Do you disagree that Tankies have posted about celebrating massacres and calling for the death of others?

Not what I was saying

Not that there’s anything wrong with content warnings. But you’d think people who actively celebrate massacres and call for the death of others can handle a children’s cartoon lol

I’m not sure if it can outgrow its tankie roots. They’re pretty firmly planted

Yeah, it’s sad in a way that no one in geopolitics takes them seriously.

But that’s probably a good thing that they’re ultimately harmless.

Do you get any hate on lemmy for being ukranian?

Of all the extremists I’ve had the misfortune of interacting with, from Neo-Nazis to Jihadists to Incels, Tankies are by far the most pathetic in terms of practicing what they preach.

They larp about violence but can’t stand the sight of it for even a second, which questions how they’ll manage any revolution or advancing their course when merely going outside is a mental challenge for them. Reminds me of that Disco Elysium dialogue about communism, where it sounds brave to say the slogans, but when it comes to reality, you’ll have firing lines, animal wagons and genocide.

It’s all larp. It’s why I think they like liberals and want to be liberal themselves, but feel too embarrassed to admit it.

These are fair generalisations considering examples of their bigotry and irony have been posted all across this community.

No one can comment on Hexbear or any tankie instance because they remove all forms of dissent. You can make these issues known if you want, but you won’t get anywhere. I also like how you’re equating watching corporate childrens media with studying history lol.

If cartoon horses are enough to trigger you mate then you’re fucked wherever you visit online or even in reality.

If child-you can handle watching a cartoon horse fall down some stairs, then adult-you can certainly handle it. If not, then something drastically wrong happened along the way.

But the main point is their delight in consuming corporate media. The cartoon is an ad to sell more toys. It’s also about how they feel the need to put content warnings for a cartoon, but not for the memes they have celebrating massacres and atrocities, and the constant calls for violence, death and terrorism. You don’t see the irony of any of this?
