Such a bummer the 80s futuristic look ever caught on past then, car dashes that made you feel like you are on the enterprise were awesome.
Hyundai is doing some relevant things.
Uhh, I think you posted to the wrong thread lmao
I’ll take a non-maga right wing user over a tankie any day. It’s not even close.
I’m lost. What is a tankie?
Authoritarian Communism or Socialism. They are generally in favor of a strong military and central state government that projects power and maintains social order, and ideally social progress through strict law and order methods people who look at Mao and Stalin as necessary or a net gain at least, hopefully they aren’t into Pol Pot’s methodology, as it was clear his primary objective was to constantly purge his own supporters while trying to starve and kill anyone that wasn’t a multi generational rice farmer of strictly Cambodian ethnicity or identity. But Pol Pot isn’t like totally out of pocket for what they’d like to see happen either. So yeah. Authoritarian Communism or Socialism, police state, rolling tanks over disodances. Hence Tankies.
They are not called tankies because of rolling tanks though
The term “tankie” was originally used by dissident Marxist–Leninists to describe members of the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB) who followed the party line of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU). Specifically, it was used to distinguish party members who spoke out in defence of the Soviet use of tanks to suppress the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 and the 1968 Prague Spring, or who more broadly adhered to pro-Soviet positions.[6][7]
From Wikipedia
wdym?
who spoke out in defence of the Soviet use of tanks
Do you actually don’t know, or is this step one of a contrarian about to start their brilliant exposé?
Lets assume this is sincere and you don’t have access to a search engine: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie
edit: 2 years on Lemmy and you don’t know what a tankie is, lucky you
I’m asking since i was wondering what they meant by it. Have seen the word but never bothered to look it up, and instead of infering the meaning I asked.
Don’t use Wikipedia as a source if you want to come off as serious. Thats like, middle school level knowledge, at least in our schools. You still haven’t told me, and I guess that i’ll find several definitions, cause that’s usually how it goes.

I was spot on.
About being condescending? Yes, you are. You showed what level you’re on by sending a Wikipedia link.
You’re like one of those troglodytes that answer a question with a lmgtfy-link unsarcastically.
Why? It’s similar but worse, driven by irrational anxiety with less reason and more potential to do the world harm…

Replied to the wrong comment. My b.
Unfortunately, the Blue would be shaking hands with the Conservative.
Hexbear literally promoted Trump before the 2024 election. Tankies love Maga.
They’re is no definition of conservative that would apply to Trump or any maga. They are much further right than that.
Wanting to undo progress made and empower old ideologies is the definition of the words politically conservative.
That’s Trump’s whole agenda.
This screams that people with different opinions aren’t people with valid opinions and lead to further dialectic conversation, and I reject that premise.
Conservatives should be welcome. Everyone should be welcome.
I haven’t seen a person identify as a conservative on Lemmy without also a shitheel about civil rights.
Ok… well now you have. Everyone should be treated equally under the law. No one should be discriminated against.
Well… that’s not quite what I said. I said civil rights. Not equal treatment under the law. If the government passed a law banning Jewish people or that I can own a black man or that trans people can’t use their preferred bathroom, that law could be equally applied to everyone, but not effect everyone equally.
I disagree, Nazi’s have zero place anywhere in society outside of a history book.
They’re not Nazis. Calling them Nazis just makes it easier to do this stuff
Are “they” in the room with us right now?
I disagree, Nazi’s have zero place anywhere in society outside of a history book.
I never even said who was a Nazi, just that they don’t have a place in society.
way to miss the point…
Wow, it’s almost like you have trouble to make yourself understood. There are more than one that “misread” what you wrote, so perhaps some introspection is due.
wow, it’s almost like you’re obtusely misrepresenting your comprehension of what you read.
Not sure why anyone would want to make themselves appear dumber than they are but, hey I won’t kink-shame.
They’re openly fascists. I don’t know why you’re trying to split hairs. They’re not hiding it.
But they aren’t nazis. Just like you probably aren’t a naxalite, even though you might have a similar opinion on specific subjects.
Argue the point of a subject and stop swerving off to name calling.
who are “they”?
Could ask you the same. You seem to imply most of all people that voted for Trump, or that agree with republicans on an issue they deem important. Hate to brake it to you, but there aren’t that many genuine nazis.
that’s not under question here. I said Nazi’s don’t have a place in society.
not who.
not what.
just Nazis.
why are you defending Nazis so much?
You imply that ordinary people are nazis.
improve your reading and comprehension because I am certain I did not.
What if they’re Nazis in Ukraine? Weren’t you agreeing with anti-tankie sentiment in other comments?
Nazis in Ukraine are still Nazis. Fortunately, there weren’t very many Nazis in Ukraine, and Russia just used that as a scapegoat, and only a fool would believe otherwise 😊
There’s enough that they name streets after Nazis, cover their uniforms in Nazi symbols, and appoint self-declared Nazis to positions of power.
Agree. Also Fascists and Theocrats.
Jesus Christ so many of you on here are in love with your echo chambers aren’t you? Every other day there is something about instance wars and oh let’s see, whom do we want to exclude today. You don’t have to like what others have to say, but you have to be able to listen to them.
You act like we only exist on this forum. Some of us have conservative family members and coworkers that we have to hear from constantly. You have to hear a none stop spew of hateful bullshit and the moment you voice any disagreement, they start shouting at you.
They have very few ideas, none of them are new and I’ve already heard every single one.
No you don’t. Fascists shouldn’t be given time of day. People who don’t act with integrity or good faith don’t get to sit with civilized society. The ideas aren’t valid and don’t have any merit. They come from uneducated people who have had their head filled with hate and prejudice. They’re not good citizens or decent people. They’re hate filled time bombs. They’re so mentally weak they gave into hating other people based on prejudices talking heads have them.
They don’t get a seat. They’re opinion is not valid. They should be ostracized by all civilized society until they stop being antisocial and destructive.
And that’s the nice, merciful and patient option.
but you have to be able to listen to them.
Not when they’re absolute shit takes, hate speech, denial of basic facts, misinformation, propaganda or intolerance we don’t.
Right-wingers have long abandoned sensible debates for hate and anger, pointless “identity politics” and sucking off Trump
Tankies refuse to accept any and all criticism of the totally-not authoritarian Chinese/Russian governments no matter what facts and evidence is presented to them
Got banned off redit for using an alt to comment on publicfreakout which I was supposedly banned from, glad this place is still left leaning, but I would rather not have a bubble like reddit either, it gets annoying and isn’t representative of the world like it should be.
The comment was literally just “isnt the wind blowing towards the ocean” made it without even knowing I was banned on my main from publicfreakout, alts are allowed, so this is such an easy mistake to make there, you can get banned from any popular sub and unknowingly comment with an alt, automatically denied appeal too
id understand if I was being controversial, but it was literally such a boring aimless comment
I injected ivermetcin infused raw milk into my veins so that I can get the REAL news quicker.
Don’t forget the cold plunge.
nice. You saw that new Joe Rogan episode too?
Broadcast into my retinas via neuralink.
It may have triggered my nose to bleed incessantly but I KNOW this is because I didn’t take my ONNIT & ALPHA BRAIN
That’s onnit o - n - n - I- t
Tankies are right wing
And they’re always bitching about batshit things on conservative.
HOW DARE BIDEN GIVE MONEY LAUNDERER ZELENKSY MORE MONEY. HE IS SURROUNDED BY IT IN HIS CASTLE.
Like bruh shut the fuck up.
Lol did you see the one where they’re complaining about Lemmy “censorship” because their shit takes get downvoted to hell lmao
Yeah, and the sad (for them) truth is this is their free market action they love. I see your shitty opinion, I downvote it. Turns out they can’t handle that when they can’t obfuscate their unpopularity
You must like what I say or it is cEnCoRsHiP!!
Ha ha yeah, lyckily they are kind of few.
This is too insightful to be a shitpost.
Meanwhile moderates on both sides think all of you need to desperately touch some fuckin grass.
Seriously I am very worried about the mental health of like 97% of the people on here.
I’ll have you know at least 20% of my shitposts have been posted while I was outside.
So there!
My favorite activity is making controversial shitposts and then taking an hour long walk
I blocked ML, then blocked Trump and Elon as keywords.
I don’t see this behaviour much anymore.
Someone took the time to make this comic. Don’t be that person. You’re better than that and should enjoy much more enriching things than exhausting your energy into the black hole that goes no where, but you’ve been socially led to think is somehow important and noticed.
Step 1. Start blocking the tribe’s.camp sites.
That’s really just sticking your head in the sand, in a way “pulling up the ladder behind you” in regards to new users. I’m not saying Lemmy needs to grow at an explosive rate, but we should still have healthy growth. And the Tankie Triad is against and sometimes straight up hostile to new users who aren’t tankies
