Why are there so many tankies on Lemmy?

"Tankies" is just "pinkos" and "commies", words that are not really offensive or describe anything actually bad but challenge the chauvinist and reactionary positions of liberals.

Lemmy is tankie because it's cool. You should try to be as cool as us.

Although, there is ample evidence of genocide on both sides. Why does it need to be one team vs the other, vs I don't know, a general support of rights?

I thought this was a good video. I’m not sure if it’s a genocide, and I’m sure it’s not on the same scale as Palestine, but I think what’s going on with Uyghurs and other ethnic minorities deserves serious criticism: https://youtu.be/cz9ICFDk8Js

Take this with a grain of salt as I have not done in depth research.

It seems at the very least to be an attempt at erasing an ethnic culture, comparable in some ways to Native American boarding schools in the history of the U.S. and Canada

It is not comparable. Read RDO’s An Indigenous Peoples History of the US if you want to see what actual genocide looks like. Things that are worthy of criticism in China are almost never the things western media criticizes them for imo.

I know right? The anti semitism is on the rise, it’s concerning
