I’m sure this is a super common question but why do people (generally liberals or sometimes people on the left) call basically everyone who mildly agree with current more authoritarian leaning socialist states tankies
I wouldn’t nessicarily call myself a tankie but I can also fully understand why people feel that label fits them when so many people call so many perspectives tankie perspectives and just shove them in a corner
Not sure if that makes sense as a question but I hope it does
Rabid anticommunism. There is really isn’t more to it than people calling you a dirty commie. People just come up with new insults since the contradictions of capitalism are so appearant.
On Lemmy it’s a lot easier to clock people as communists since you only need to check what instance they are from instead of digging through their posting history.
The best response is: damn I wish we had tanks.
