Dunking on Tankies from a leftist perspective.
A tankie is someone who defends/supports authoritarian or even totalitarian regimes who call themselves "socialist". The term originated from people supporting the 1956 invasion of Hungary by the Soviet Union. Nowadays they are just terminally online, denying genocides, and falling for totalitarian propaganda and calling such regimes "true democracies". remember to censor usernames when necessary.

Man, I'm starting to think this platform ain't for me. Lots of unhinged folks here.
Same. Authoritarian propaganda from the CCP and Kremlin nonstop.
lemm.ee has a fairly open federation policy, no? That's probably a factor. I don't see nearly that much.
Ya, and I prefer the open stance but just don't want to deal with the volume of propaganda. I'm taking the advice to be more aggressive with my filtering.
