          You’re on ML and you don’t know what a tankie is?

          Okay, so I recommend you get a different instance (.world if you don’t have an opinion) because you’re in an unhealthy and culty echo chamber.

          Tankies are people who pretend to be leftists while supporting authoritarian regimes. They care most about what’s worst for the United States, and will advocate for it regardless of how many people get hurt. They argue against voting and lionize Russia, China, etc. Weird, bad, and creepy folk.

              Complaining about the United States geopolitics is not why the guy got downvoted. The problem is that they insinuated that it’s invalid to complain about tankies because of those failings. It was an absolutely asinine comment.

      cuz we’re in .world, and any political outlook that doesn’t conform totally to the line of the US State Dept is heavily downvoted on sight.

        At least here, you don’t get deleted/banned for disagreeing with the hive. Check the mod logs and look at all the cowards banning people For being liberal in .ml and the like…
