You really need to start using real words for things. You are using "tankie" to describe everything under the sun right now and I literally have no idea what you're saying anymore.
I've actually been extremely consistent with my usage of the term throughout this conversation. The people I'm talking to keep using it for everyone under the sun, that's true. From a member of a third-world communist party 50 years ago to themselves to Joseph Stalin. My focus is currently on the online English-speaking community/ies of the last 5-10 years who would fit the term
Because its not relevant you dumbass
Tankie refers to any ML these days stop trying to Cope by saying you were only talking about english speaking online world.
all your examples are americans
Who else would we talk about in a Lemmy conversation about people on Lemmy supporting Russia? I've been telling you the Vietnamese don't matter in this context from the very beginning.
This whole thing started when you said thst Tankies engage in facist apologia.
I stated that was projection and gave histortical examples
Once you saw that your Narrative was crumbling you started to save face by moving the goal post
You know if you've misunderstood my initial comment you can just drop the posturing and say so
You were called out on your bullshit stop acting smart dipshit
It all comes down to ego
EDIT: I've made myself clear what I was talking about. The context was there, you were the first one to bring up the 20th century people. I could take some responsibility as the term is vague, but too many of you went for the dunks and posturing, making up shit about what I meant on the fly. The problem that truth here is relative and if enough of you decide that is what happened, whatever context I had in mind wouldn't matter. It's easy to be cynical about the whole interaction for both of us. Also good for the ego, as being wrong hurts and we all know it. I'm off to bed, will see if you add something else here later. It wasn't nice to talk to you, bye.
You're a doodoo
