idk bro im in america and i gotta say id take a tankie authoritarian just to have a little revenge on the right wing authoritarians, then hopefully society will have had enough strongmen for the rest of my life.

Holy shit can you keep this dogshit on meanwhileongrad?? Like we get it there are crazy soviets on the internet, get over it you don’t need to turn every server into meanwhile

Me: googles tankie

Last week highly-upvoted comment on reddit claimed that environmentalism is nothing more than russian-bot fueled fad.

So, I’ve been exploring these comments for the past 30 mins. They honestly make me wonder; are we seeing an echo chamber effect by instance?

Does Lemmy have any tools to count upvote/downvote by user instances, especially by comment layer. I think I want to dive into this rabbit hole.

😐 Banning harmless things because a dictator doesn’t like them

😃️ Banning harmless things because a dictator doesn’t like them, People’s Republic of China/Union of Soviet Socialist Republics/any other “leftist” dictatorship

Definitely not the only place, but certainly one of the more predictable.

So what. What is your problem. What is the goal of this platform if is just Reddit

A bullshit false equivalence that only serves to amplify alt-right messaging? Yeah, I’d downvote that garbage, too.

I’d say it’s because the bar for “tankie” is “anyone who had a problem with selling weapons for genocide.”

or a do-nothing centrist who’d rather let the fascists win in order to keep the left down, right?

But dont forget to vote blue no matter who, leftists!

That’s lemmygrad (THE tankie instance, with Hexbear), not lemmy.ml (the dev’s instance). Please do not conflate them together. And I say this as a dbzero user.

Cry more, bigot. I see the comments you’ve had removed by mods.

You went into a community which defines itself as Tankies, compared them to Fascists, and now you come here whining about it?

🤦‍♂️ Obviously never been involved in any left wing activism, because oh boy oh boy you’d quickly realise just how authoritarian our liberal democracies are.
