i.e. are critical of russia, but stand by even the most autoritarian, anti-democratic, militaristic, imperialistic regimes - just because they call themselves “socialist” or “communist”, except for russias invasion of ukraine

i was just quoting the other commenter. but dont forget about china, nazi germany, north korea, etc.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah sure. So lets ban the USA apologists together with all these tankies?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

fine by me. fuck the US

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I agree.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

btw seens a paradox that you guys so "pro freedom" are asking for bans of people that you disagree.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 years ago (2 children)

it may seem that way, but no. pro-freedom actually means keeping people away who wanna take our freedom. i.e. authoritarians like tankies

keeping people away who wanna take our freedom. i.e. authoritarians like tankies

what did they do to take your freedom? built this whole platform we are using right now?

just because they do good things too doesnt make them perfect

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I am not arguing they are perfect. It is just extreme to ban those folks altogether.

Neither are we perfect.

i disagree. if you welcome one, they will all come and bring their friends, and then u have a tankie community ;)

oh right. Then we should treat them like cockroaches, right?

The Canadians came up with an idea you might agree, it is called "Final Solution".

fuckin hell im not saying genocide them, theres literally a fucking lemmy instance just for them. they can go there, tankies not welcome here.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

LOL... ironic, since those of us how don't like tankies specifically don't like them because tankies are perfectly fine with mass-murder, and we're not.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

tankies are perfectly fine

Give 1 example.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

isn't that the same logic that the tankies are using though - because they think they have to be authoritarian to the people who they believe are trying to take their freedoms i.e. capitalists?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

a community not welcoming assholes =/= a state killing everyone who's in their way. one is authoritarian, the other is not.

what is your taking on Israel killing Palestinians?

That's a genocide, and the western world deny.
