Can someone inform me about what's wrong with lemmy.ml?

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 20 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

The ml stands for Marxist-Leninist, and the admins are tankies

I am thinking about tanks, explain.

The iconic Tiananmen square "Tank man" photo, where one guy stands in front of a column of tanks on their way to slaughter pro-democracy protesters, briefly stopping them. Tankies are lunatics that wish for authoritarian communism and so unironically support the tanks running him over.

Not the origin of the word.

This dates back to Hungarian revolution in 1956 and tanks being deployed by USSR.

Where the fuck do you libs get your misinformation from?

That's not where the term comes from.

I’m confused. What are you saying? That word is thrown around against socialists. Tankies is often used to shut someone down and ignore what they're saying no matter how correct it is, or how little it has to do with Marxism.
