Mostly I saw it used against campist (US vs Them) people here. Much less often against idealistic socialists or communists.

Look, you’re doing it! That’s the whatabout campism it is refering to!
I’m not here to argue which shitass empire is better (frankly all should collapse). Just introducing what a tankie means to regular people here to you to reduce tension you’re having over different definitions


Ah shit, my bad. Ignore me


Tankie is a term for anti US campist, that chooses to ignore crimes againt humanity by other Imperialistic nations. (China, Russia)
Historically used against socialists, but the term gained another meaning


Tankie here is mostly used against people who are extremely anti US, to the point that they choose to ignore or excuse all the crimes against humanity caused by other Imperialistic nations. Ex. Russia, China
Mostly to quickly point out, that the person is a campist and will ignore other side arguments
You’re arguing, about false use of a term, but the term has another meaning. You shouldn’t ignore it
inb4 but muh dictionary…


Russia… Democratic… LMFAO xDDD
Thanks for sharing!
Corruption often rises from centralizarion of power without having “checks and balances”. So Central economy planning system might be more to blame, than the socialist movement part of communism.
Not to mention, that in a central economy planning system, there is no accurate way for the average Joe to signal on what he needs/wants to be made (talking about consumer items, not base needs).
That kinda creates the need for separate markets to rise to meet the demand, which works without the supervision by the state. The market can’t really self-regulate, so a lot of people end up scammed daily.
Ah… the glory of USSR and the hoops and whistles an average man had to take to buy a shitty radio.
Shit, even if you wanted to have a birthday party, you had to pay extra to get vodka from under the counter.


If it’s sticking to a magnet, it will work. Cast iron works. Induction is great, i’ll never go back to gas!


Russia is losing it’s grip in more and more places it seems
Does it hurt, when different perpectives/ideas aren’t deleted like in your bubble .ml instance?
