People who support russia and communism are tankies.
Communists aren't necessarily tankies.

[–] brain_in_a_box@hexbear.net 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ok, good news then: there aren't any tankies on hexbear

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I lurk on hexbear from time to time, and there is definetely people there who believe some of those.

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah, out of "supports Russia" and "are communist" there are indeed people who support some of those two things

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If you support russia in this day and age, you are a tankie.

Ok, so not me then. If you're just going to make up things I didn't say, what's the point?

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

ok, what did you mean then?

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Can I reference you here when I get called a tankie despite not supporting Russia?

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Thats not what I meant, there is other "criteria".

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 week ago

Yes, I've noticed that the "criteria" are extremely malleable and impossible to pin down. That's why I concluded that it's just a snarl word that ultimately means "anyone to the left of me"
