Good job in calling out the ableism. I've reported it, so hopefully the mods clear it up quickly.

But we do have the more inclusive term of 'shitlib', which is a centrist analogue to 'tankie' especially so in being ardently uncritical supporters.

Your 'evidence' is a random blog post?

A random blog post that upon five seconds of inspection is outright abusing the truth?

In 1996, journalist Michael Smith published a book where MI6 officers, a branch of British intelligence, admitted they trained and armed Király’s fighters.8

Hmm okay, so let's actually read the source provided here:

according to the author of a new book on the history of the organisation.

So random author, advertising a book is the basis of this whole claim.

"There is no evidence that this was specifically sparked by MI6 because there was another series of events".

So no evidence.

Unfortunately the Budapest students met in a coffee bar to discuss their activities and were swiftly rounded up. Mr Gorka was interrogated for several weeks, strung up from a beam and immersed in icy water. Under torture, he confessed, and was sent to prison for 15 years.

So the few they did try to recruit and train were caught.

Laszlo Regeczy-Nagy, the President of the Committee for Historical Justice, representing the interests of the veterans, said: "There were thousands of Hungarians living in Austria at the time and some were undoubtedly organised and trained by the British." He believes that foreign intervention played a modest role, and "the vast majority of those taking part [in the revolt] were locally trained and led". He added: "Even without training, they pretty quickly learned how to fire machine guns and hurl Molotov cocktails."

So to re-iterate, the claim that they 'trained and armed Király’s fighters' was a complete fabrication by the author.

They, as one would expect of them, were trying to build up a network to maybe do so in the future but they actually had nothing to do with the 1956 uprising.

Why are tankies always so dishonest ?

No, but they have declassified a paper about them being completely unprepared and unstaffed for this, and scrambling to get Hungarian speaking agents into Hungary after it started.

Fair, fair.

I've used this definition many times on Lemmy/PieFed so far, it's my genuine meaning of the word.

Those on the left who support the state using force to keep the people controlled.

Y’know rolling tanks into Hungary in 1956 when leftists first started using the word.

It’s a well known leftist term and is almost 100 years old now. I have a hard time believing you didn’t already know this.

The problem here is only blaming western governments, this is a problem of all governments and why we need to work towards a stateless system.

As long as you critically stan a state, it's okay to support genocide. /s

Created in response to what I feel is overbearing rules and moderation on other similar communities, this is a much more relaxed community.

It's not restricted to white people or corporate websites such as the baggage carried over from reddit, this alternative space offers all sorts of social media posts/memes.
