Right populism is GLOBALLY a greater risk by the numbers, proportionally, and by the consequences, by any metric you can offer.

Nobody here is denying that, but that's irrelevant to this conversation because we're not talking about who the biggest global threat is.

I'm doing "tankies are such a minority that people who bother even thinking about them are embarrassing themselves".

That's pathetic. We're on lemmy. There are tankies here. They pop up often enough that the rest of us can bond over calling them out. Get over yourself.

It's like you've been shot and you're complaining that the dust kicked up might get into your lungs. Why are you spending your time on the dust. Get medical attention!

No it's like I've been shot and I'm annoyed with the dude who's standing to the side laughing instead of calling an ambulance and saying things like "HA! Stupid shitlib, you deserved that! I hope you die because I saw you breathing yesterday and people in Africa could have used that oxygen. You're such a terrible person. I actually agree with the fascist who shot you because I hate you too. Oh by the way I think you're a fascist because you're a democratic socialist instead of a bolshevik like me."

Tankies are a few particles of dust.

Not on lemmy, which is where we are if you haven't noticed...

Your community for poking fun at the bullshit tankies say and spread.

Rules:

  1. 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.)

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.
