Well here if you disagree with someone do not engage just insult their beliefs and type ‘tankie’…wait you’re on .world right?

stop calling me racist and engage with me!

Same energy. If you're getting called a tankie maybe stop simping for authoritarian regimes.

Unless your politics are to the right of Joe Biden, you're going to get called a tankie.

Hyperbole, I think.

I’ve been here a while, but I might need some help here. Everyone left of Biden is a tankie? Am I understanding you correctly?

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Well, ultimately tankie just means "person too far to the left of me", so for some liberals, that does indeed mean everyone to the left of Biden

Are you a tankie because you are to the left of Joe biden or because you idealise the soviet union and the ccp?
