Ugh, I need to figure out a way to unsubscribe from replies to a post.

Stop posting shit takes, and if you did then at least engage in good faith

You can be a stooge for American imperialism without being actually American

Of course you think that there are no politics, because you have a very limited understanding of politics

You’re describing an echochamber…

Oh god. How thick can you be? You did not read correctly, indeed. The question was if the meme was political. And it clearly is, since it references political entities and distributes the ideology of whoever is OP of the meme to a bunch of unsuspecting lurkers that falsely assume it’s non-political. Also the fact that you disagree about what is and what isn’t political makes it political

their users tend to talk in a very demeaning and insulting manner.

About half of the popular posts on Hexbear are about making fun of people or communities

it’s more about their toxic behaviour

This can be interpreted as bad faith if you don’t mention towards whom this behavior is directed at.

Their political views are less of an issue

Thank you for admitting it’s about the optics (which is not a concern for us)

It’s not like they’re secret.They used to be public on the gittea repository. Can’t find the link post federation tho

I have only seen it used in reference to people who support dictatorial regimes with socialist aesthetics, mostly MLs.

There’s more in the_dunk_tank if you’re willing to dig

Pro Tip: Sort by Top All. Anarchists getting called tankie tends to get a lot of upbears because we have anarchist comrades on our instance. We’re a left unity instance

I love how you guys have decided that your definitions are the only correct ones.

You’re strawmaning hard here, because I never said it’s a definition or that it’s the only one. It’s just my understanding of the term. What part of it is wrong in your opinion? I want to consider it

It’s your primary weapon here, for obvious reasons.

Because it’s obvious that when you’re challenged on your understanding of words you have nothing to say?

Too bad instances can’t defederate HB.

Can you please elaborate?

They seem to not understand that they’re tankies.

Tankie is a social construct and is used to lazily discredit everyone to the left of bernie. It functions to libs the same way as “woke” functions for chuds. As a term it’s basically meaningless to anyone outside of the internet.
