I’m here because I’m hoping we can Digg v4 reddit. If we can’t then I’m hoping one of the other alternatives will. As it stands Reddit is hoping everything will just blow over, I’m not gonna stand by and just let that happen

We definitely have to stop calling communities subreddits though.

Thanks for this comment. Was considering programming my own app though (especially in the spirit of the latest news), so if I find any issues with the android version I might still go through with that

Yeah, tankies are not the only people who realize George Bush lied about WMDs lmao. Basically all leftists know that. However, most other leftists don’t make excuses for people like Stalin, Mao, and Castro. We can advance our cause without supporting mass murderers. Fuck tankies

196 is the subreddit that this community is based on. The only official rules are that you must post before you leave and you can’t be a bigot. It ends up basically like r/shitposting, except aggressively pro-LGBTQ instead of anti.

A tankie is a leftist who thinks that Mao, Stalin, and Castro were cool.

lemmy.ml is also pretty tankies friendly. Lemmy.world is the only instance I’m using regularly although suggestions of other good ones are welcome

Tankies ≠ leftists ≠ liberals

Plenty of leftists want human rights and even know we’ll need a revolution to get them, but the USSR and CCP were not ever communist, they were authoritarian oligarchies disguised as communism. The same way the US is not a democracy or a republic, it’s an authoritarian oligarchy disguised as one.

Your reading comprehension really is something to behold. You basically just disagreed with me by saying exactly the same thing I just fucking said.

My opinion on the USSR is that Lenin was cool, Trotsky was cool, and everyone else deserved to be hanged in Minecraft
