What is a tankie?

Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support acts of repression by such regimes or their allies. More specifically, the term has been applied to those who express support for one-party Marxist–Leninist socialist republics, whether contemporary or historical.

    This would also be deeply problematic. I’ve seen it posted elsewhere, and asked the same thing:

    Can you back this assertion up with any proof?

      Yeah, I’ve had comments deleted and have seen others deleted that criticized Israel or that criticized Biden’s support of Israel.

      So my own eyes have shown me that this is true. My own eyes have also shown me that .world is run by mods who push an agenda that conforms with the CIAs goals of domestic control over the US population. Which, if I wanted to read that midwit drivel, then I would’ve stayed on Reddit.

          I personally witnessed it. Which is proof.

          What I don’t have proof of is that you’re a real person and not a CIA asset. Weird how you haven’t verified your identity to me yet. Something to hide?

            I looked at your history: you were banned for calling people autistic as an insult, among other things.

            There’s literally zero obligation for me to verify anything to you, and my identity doesn’t have anything to do with the conversation at hand.

              Clearly I wasn’t banned if I’m commenting now. And saying that someone is autistic isn’t an insult. It’s the truth. And it’s very common among the userbase on here because this site’s users are disproportionately autistic.

              If you don’t like that then maybe you’re autistic? Or have some rejection sensitivity disorder. Regardless, it isn’t an insult, it’s an accurate statement of a behavioral deformity

              It’s interesting that you demand others verify things to you, yet you refuse to verify yourself. Makes it likely that you’re not a “real” person at all. You could verify that easily and yet you refuse to. Something to hide?

                See, this is an example of bad faith interactions and bad trolling.

                It’s also a good example of hate.

                I hope you have the life you deserve.

                  How is any of this trolling or bad faith? I am being completely sincere.

                  The fact that you’re a sockpuppet account that was just exposed by me doesn’t mean I’m trolling. It means you’re incompetent and should get better at your job if you want to persuade anyone.

                  Although I suppose when your employer is able to ban anyone who exposes their employees it isn’t as much of an issue. Why persuade anyone when you can just destroy them, right?

                  In the .01% chance that you’re an actual person, you need to toughen up. The internet isn’t supposed to be an endless game of gotcha where you report people for saying mean words. Society isn’t supposed to be like that either, and wasn’t until 2014. Toughen the fuck up and abandon this hall monitor/tattle tale personality type. It makes everyone hate you. Which you would pick up on if you had any awareness of social cues - which may be hard to obtain if you’re autistic, which was my previous point

                  Regardless officer, thank you for safeguarding the oligarchs from the masses. You’re doing a great job of keeping their boot on our throats

              Just report the ableism and move on. This person seems to think that everyone is a CIA operative and that autism is an insult.

                Yeah, I figured that out after a little bit of interaction, but I prefer to give the other the benefit of the doubt when i start any conversation.
