It's just so baffling, they're all from lemmy.ml defending Putin's invasion. Modern Russia isn't even ML, the USSR is gone. It's only "America bad" that's driving their alignment with Russia at this point, isn't it? Or they're a troll factory. Or under the influence of Russian propaganda. Probably people from all of those.

True, if thia were WW2 they would be non ironically saying for the allies to surrender to the Nazi, Soviets and fascists, to "prevent deaths"

The soviets were part of the allies, and killed 8/10 Nazis. Seeing your historical illiteracy explains your lack of understanding on current geopolitical events

[-] Schmoo@slrpnk.net 2 points 3 weeks ago

You're right, the Soviet Union joined the allies against the Nazis because they were explicitly not revolutionary defeatists, which cannot be said of a large number of modern day tankies.

"Tankie" functions for libs the same way, as "woke" does for chuds. It's a meaningless term

[-] Schmoo@slrpnk.net 2 points 3 weeks ago

And libs often seems to function for tankies in exactly the same way. I'm an anarchist but when I argue with tankies I get called a lib even as I call for the overthrow of capitalism. Funny how that works, almost as if the problem is dogmatism.

Unlike "Tankie" and "woke", "lib" does in deed have a definition.

[-] Schmoo@slrpnk.net 3 points 3 weeks ago

So does "tankie" and "woke." I used mine correctly, you are indeed a tankie. When a chud calls a left-wing political activist woke, at least they're using it correctly, even if they don't necessarily know that they are.

You called me a liberal for - let me check - opposing imperialism regardless of who's doing it. Interesting, do you think that fits the definition?

[-] carl_marks_1312@lemmy.ml 0 points 3 weeks ago

So does “tankie” and “woke.”

Could you kindly defone that for me?

You called me a liberal

Where? Lol funny how you get that feeling I talked about you
