Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.

Rules:

  1. Be civil and no bigotry of any kind.
  2. No tankies or right-wingers. Liberals are allowed so long as they are aware of this
  3. No genocide denial

We allow posts about tankie behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion. For a more general community !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works is recommended.

I know for a lot of people a tankie is just something that they know it when they see it, however I think that it is important to think about the reason that you define something as being tankie vs just a leftist.

That's an American vs. British thing. In America, it's the boogieman.

As a dual national, it is both for me, bitches!

I don't get to be afraid of the bunyip though.
