Keep your political bullshit on hexbear and lemmygrad!
- fr. the only political post I ever made was mocking tankie propaganda being posted to a non political meme community
  
  That's for that post btw. Was called for.

i’m so sick of these goddamn tankies
they’re literally just fascists painted red
- they went so far into the spectrum that they overflowed into the opposite side
- Word, anyone that thinks China should be the hegemon is deluded.
- I think you are confusing facism and authoritarianism.
- Y’all calling hexbear tankies is proof that word don’t mean anything anymore 🤷🏿‍♂️
  
  They are unironically Marxist-Leninists and actively chase away democratic socialists, and say things like "nuking American is based."
  I'm not sure what else you want.
  
  None of these commie-subtypes mean anything lmao
  They are all fascists who pretend social democracy doesnt exist
  
  right? It's literally a pan leftist instance, there's anarchist comms and everything. The thing that people are afraid of when they call people tankies isn't any particular ideology, it's just a fear of confident and firm left wing ideology of any sort. In order to not be a tankie, you have to be compromising and undedicated in your left wing beliefs, that's it, that's the criteria.

Oh ffs, what now?
- Drama between Hexbear and ShitJustWorks. Have some popcorn.
  
  So who is the person on the bicycle in this scenario?
  
  We have so many communities about drama and not a single one seems active. I wonder if these users, who poured hours and hours of their lifetime into creating a bazillion dead communities the last few months, feel stupid for doing that.

We need more people on lemmy from all different backgrounds to balance these debates out. Defederation may still occur, but the majority will not be a bunch of radical lefties.
As tankies would say "diversity is our strength!", so lemmy needs more diversity of opinion.

Tankies (commies) are like this everywhere it seems :D here orban from hungary:

ORBÁN: 2021 We dont'T NEED EU LOANS, THE ECONOMY IS RUMBLING!
2022 THE COUNTRY IS NEAR BANKRUPTCY, INFLATION IS IN THE SKY, FOOD PRICES, GASOLINE
ORBÁN-2022 EU GIVE ME A SMALL LOAN, STOP BEING JERK PLS
2023 GIVE ME EVEN MORE LOAN

If you can't coexist with people that have an opinion different from yours, you can't coexist with anyone. And if you post controversial takes or memes, you better expect and accept the controversy. Oftentimes both sides can learn from it.
- There are certain "differing opinions" that nobody should have to coexist with
  
  Exactly. There’s opinions…..and being an intolerant biggot (“not everyone should have civil rights”) or in the context of Russia, being a genocide apologist (…”from my point of view Ukraine is the fascist Nazi country!”)
- I can coexist, I just would rather not feel the need to spend 6 hours explaining why Russia invading Ukraine is bad actually. (True story)
- Spot the idealist.
- That is such facile garbage. There are opinions that can be tolerated and there are those that should not.
- If you can’t coexist with people that have an opinion different from yours
  you are a fascist plain and simple
