Your community for poking fun at the bullshit tankies say and spread.
Rules:
-
No tankie talking points. That includes the classics (denial of genocide of Uyghurs, denial of ML dictator's crimes, campism, calling everyone you disagree with a liberal or CIA etc.) and general shit opinions (general genocide denial, antisemitism, racism, queerphobia, etc.)
-
MLs are not communists. They never actually worked towards it and there are some who don't even define it as a stateless, classless, egalitarian society. So MLs shouldn't be called communists in the first place. Calling hating MLs anticommunism will probably expose you as either a tankie or a right winger, both of which aren't welcome here.
-
Right-wingers, fash, nazis, nazbols etc. are not welcome! Right wing talking points (such as anti-woke, anti-queer, speaking favorably of far right figures, being anti-antifa etc.) will get you banned pretty quickly.
-
Please respect people's pronouns. Deliberately misgendering people repeatedly is going to lead you to have issues with the mods. Defending misgendering will get you banned.
-
No brigading. People caught brigading in this comm will be banned. Also we oppose brigading in other comms. Keep the discussions and stuff within the comm.
-
On near-east topics: Nakba is an established fact. The (ongoing) Palestinian genocide is a fact. Israel commits crimes against Palestinians. No anti-Arab (such as Palestinians and Druze) sentiments allowed (it falls under racism anyways). In regards to Israel, do not dehumanize civilians. Saying shit like "there are no civilians in Israel/Palestine" will get you permabanned.
-
Be kind to one another. Try to deescalate any fights.
Content guidance:
Anti-ML memes, screenshots and humor are allowed.
For general discussion threads please ask.
If there is demand, we can do a open discussion thread once a month. But it will get locked if in escalates into a dumpster fire.

You're German. What you're describing is proportional voting where issues matter more than parties in your country.
You're basically sitting in the luxury car version of a democracy complaining the engine works too well.
Look at your last election results, you're really complaining that the Social Democrats are tankies?

German democracy has a lot of niche systems and ways of operating. I'm not talking about Germany but even there the AfD result is overwhelming of greater risk than tankies. So you're being quite ridiculous.
That's some bull sheeeeeit.
That's not what rumschlumpel said. Also I wont tolerate whataboutism to defend tankies here. You are everywhere in the thread defending tankies and in the modlog you were banned in other places for bootlicking. So I am putting a stop to your time here.
Yes I see what you mean.
Although there is a whole world outside of USA. This is feddit.org... You're going to encounter people who are not assuming a US-centric discussion.
You're not allowed to call out Germans for doing things Germans do. That's evil!!!!
