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.
Please be sure to obscure usernames on posts to prevent doxxing.

nooo, they remove gay scenes because it's uhhh... western propaganda, something something, america bad, something cia
I saw one of them claiming China was more LGBT friendly than the use the other day and it took me a second to process that they were being completely serious.
After hearing what China did to the Uyghur (sp?) people, this is not surprising at all
They believe that’s a hoax.
Who's they?
Tankies, keep up.
I wish they'd just go to China by themselves so we may never hear from them again.
"N-no, you see, they have to censor us because we're Western dogs... self-flagellation for the Comrade-Chairman will redeem us of our sin of birth!"
Useful idiots are like chained guard dogs. They belong outside the house.
That website is CIA propaganda! But also it's a good thing and China's firewall is necessary to prevent the poison of western ideology from ruining glorious CPC!
north korea is a paradise!
something something free healthcare that probably exists over there
Now if only dbzer0 would defederate them.
Fingers crossed!
Not even the ones who's figurative dick they figuratively sucking want them. I wonder why they're not defederated form anywhere yet. (Same with Lemmygrad and to some extend Kbin)
Kbin doesn't have a tankie problem, though?
The guy running Kbin has a reasonable head on his shoulders. I've never seen any problematic folks there. Heck, Kbin is one of the places Beehaw still federates with.
They're defederated from @lemmy.world and the all feed there is so, so much better for it.
Wait, Kbin? Kbin is pretty normie. I should know, I generally stick to Kbin mags.

I do kbin mostly and I can't say I've ever seen a single hexbear post or mag (and only a handful of their users) unless it was someone else telling me what hexbear is or complaining about them.
They haven't whitelisted kbin, so you won't see their posts (edit: unless they're made to non-hexbear communities). Only their comments on other instances, and a fair number have blocked them at this point.
Wait, if they're not federated, then their comments are still visible?
If I understand correctly, their posts and comments to communities on other instances will still remain visible to you until your instance specifically blocks them. Hexbear won't talk directly talk to kbin, but will talk to lemm.ee, and lemm.ee will tell kbin about posts and comments that hexbear users have made on lemm.ee's communities.
That’s because they’re not communists. They’re anarchist trolls making fun of everything—including themselves.
I've gotten serious pushback from them for advancing basic anarchist ideas. The prevailing ideology amongst hexbear users is not anarchist.
Yeah, as an anarchist they are DEFINITELY not anarchists.

Hmmm. They're not very happy about anarchism either. Accelerationism fits somewhat if one would try to pin it but there's a diverse range of users.
As far as I can tell, they’re contrarian authoritarians. That is, they support strongman dictatorships primarily because doing so shocks the sensibilities of and upsets the people around them. It’s childish nonsense without any rigor.
Big time reactionary authoritarians. They just absorbed some Lenin somehow and are trying to be "based".

They’re anarchist trolls
Maybe a few, but there's no reason to think that there's any more than that, let alone a majority. There's no shortage of actual tankies in the world, so why should hexbear be some elaborate ruse?

Please don't lump anarchists in with those Stalin worshipping crazies.
