Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-authoritarian perspective.
Rules:
- No bigotry of any kind, and strictly no authoritarianism or genocide denial.
- Tankies get expedited access to our exclusive Vibe-Based Moderation, a premium service that includes a shiny addition to their modlog, for FREE!
- Strictly no blanket downvoting (downvoters may be community banned, 4 the lulz).
- We don't talk about rule #4.
- As this is a pro-genAI instance, there is absolutely no complaining about posts created with the use of AI allowed.
We allow posts about tankie behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion.

What do you mean by materialism? don't really see how it applies.
Oh materialism in a communist way, thats why google's definition didn't make sense.
There is far more evidence that the Uyghur genocide happened, than it didn't. Even if it wasn't a genocide, its still Crimes Against Humanity.
When it comes to the whole imperialism aspect, of course the U.S is imperialist, its stupid to say they're not. But supporting Russia because they're imperialist in the other way is wrong, because its still imperialism.
That's the point of the post, I don't see it as vibes based analysis and moreso just pointing this out.
I'm not downgrading it from genocide, I'm saying that its still a right's violation, since some groups classify it as such, but don't consider it genocide.
That's literally a Zionist talking point, that calling out a genocide is diminishing another one.
Okay, differing defintions on imperialism aside, This blog post has a good few links https://pluralistic.net/2021/02/03/never-again/
Thanks for the explanation.

I'm not psychoanalysing anything, I just posted a tumblr post which I thought was relevant.
