Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.

Rules:

  1. Be civil and no bigotry of any kind.
  2. No tankies or right-wingers. Liberals are allowed so long as they are aware of this
  3. No genocide denial

We allow posts about tankie behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion. For a more general community [email protected] is recommended.

Of fuck really. I thought it was some sort of socialist symbol. That’s awful.

i don't know the modern discourse. i thought it's (pointing down) the symbol the nazis used to mark political prisoners (i. e. usually communists) in concentration camps, like the pink triangle for who they deemed to be "homosexuals".

Honestly I think that makes more sense. Because I’ve seen some people with that emoji in their profile who have decently nuanced takes, I doubt they would outright support a far-right war crime committing organisation such as hamas.
