Want to try that sentence again, but intelligible?

It literally isn’t though, because what they said isn’t true.

That’s 100% not true, but I wouldn’t expect honesty from you to start with

Least insufferable .worlder

They literally caught you lying to win political points, and you think they need to touch grass?

The whole point is that there isn’t really any clear cut difference between “tankies” and “actual leftists” because it’s a pejorative term that each person using it defines differently based on their own personal politics. Is critical support for Vietnam tankie? Cuba? Makhnovshchina? Ukraine? The Nordic Model? The Black Panthers? You’ll never get consistent answers from people yelling about tankies.

one takes them seriously because the things they profess tend to be silly and they usually have that obnoxious College freshman master-debater energy.

Ironically, this better describes the people who rail against “tankies” better than it describes anyone else.

You are rather quick to assume I am one of the “pro-genocide people”.

Oh, I’m not assuming.

I try not to “both-sides”

"I try to not both-sides this, please ignore that I just did and am about to do so again.

I was trying (poorly) to show that the same standard was not being applied equally.

“Don’t you mean all lives matter?”

pretty emotional topic.

It be an emotional topic usually makes people more sympathetic towards the victims of genocide, not more inclined to start going “but what about both sides!”

Anyway, good luck fighting against everyone until they agree with you.

Go back to reddit, you insufferable loser.

I’d prefer you remember that your double doesn’t define objective “normal”

Somewhat, yes. More accurate would probably be anyone to the left of AOC

Fairly far, by American standards

Not really, given that it’s a term that just means “people too far to the left of me” and those positions are all too far to the left for many liberals

Yes, just like you.

Notice that they asked for an example and couldn’t provide one.

more due to the incompetence of the governing fascists than to lack of intent.

Oh ok, so the fascist is governing the US are well intentioned and want democracy and freedom, they just aren’t competent enough to achieve it. All of the USs enemies, though, are just evil.

And you call other people ultra-nationalist.

So you’re not a tankie because you don’t call yourself a communist?

~90% of so called tankies are bots, disinformation agents, or trolls.

Prove it, McCarthy.

I’ve been called a tankie for lots of reasons: criticising Elon Musk, condemning Israels genocide of the Palestinians, opposing invading Venezuela, condemning the US’s destruction of North Korea, not believing that far right American think tanks are trustworthy, calling Kamala Harris a genocide supporter, calling bullshit on the claim that Mao had one in ten Chinese citizens executed for being a western spy. Calling bullshit on the claim that Che Guevera committed genocide. Basically anything that runs counter to the average American neo-liberal’s world view.

Well, ultimately tankie just means “person too far to the left of me”, so for some liberals, that does indeed mean everyone to the left of Biden

Man, you people really don’t realize the modlog is public

Yeah man, hexbear users are always claiming to be libertarians…

Comments like these are great reminders that most of camp fire are dreamed up by people who never actually go there

They’re pro-authoritarianism

At this point you might as well just say that they’re “pro-badguyism”, because you’re operating on the level of Saturday morning cartoon logic where villains are evil for evils sake. Like seriously: “They just clumsily try to disguise themselves as being communists, but actually they just love evil!”? Are you listening to yourself?

a bot or other disinformation agent pretending to be one

Are people who claim to be leftists but turn out to be full blown NeoMcCarthyists tankies?
