"How Cowbee (prominent.ml Tankie) conflates the terms "communism" and "Tankie" to push the narrative that they're the only "true leftists/Communists" " (lemmy.world)

The term Tankie has a clear definition that Cowbee likes to ignore:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those > who support or defend acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the > occurrence of the events thereof.

If they want to wall us off then all this pissing and crying about us is a remarkable bit of self sabotage. The people we’re most likely to reach are those disaffected with useless liberalism and curious enough to look for alternatives.

These shitheels raising up Cowbee as a prominent alternative voice can only be good for us. Cry bullying works on Reddit because the mods and admins there are so thoroughly captured by corpo operatives and feds, and can effectively remove dissident speech from the platform.

The fediverse just doesn’t work like that. They can somewhat impede access by removing us from the timeline, but the content still exists and is available to anyone curious, even without an account.

In summary, cry more fascist pricks, your tears only make us stronger

    Fully agreed on their irrational hatred being only a good thing for bringing more radicalized liberals to the side of scientific socialism. That's a big part of why I refuse to get in the mud, as much as I detest "civility politics" rhetoric is still enormously effective with onlookers.
