The person in the picture is u/spez (fastest and the goofiest picture I could find).
Also, please don't take it seriously. It's a shitpost. Thanks.

Whoa, like exactly like
That’s u/spez?!?!?
Holy shit, 10,000 switches in my brain just clicked and the output is “Schadenfreude Upgraded.”
It's goofy u/spez. Could be real too but probably an altered image. I felt like a regular spez image wouldn't cut it so searched for a goofy one and found this.
Reddit has tankie subs too. Latest one I noticed was TheDeprogram with more than 60k users. A highly upvoted comment from there:
One thing worth pointing out is how Bernie is framing it like the war was started by Putin and literally no other factors were at play. Putin just started the war one day for no reason because he felt like it.

Putin just started the war one day for no reason because he felt like it.
Yes?
"Yeah but it was because NATO is expanding"
Ok so countries formerly under Russian rule want to prevent that from happening again, what a surprise. This hurts Putin's feelings and that's why he felt like invading Ukraine in 2014 and in 2022.
(comment not directed at TheBat of course)
There were also several instances of reddit tankies infiltrating other leftist subs to try to take them over.
Reddit is so far gone that most leftist subs have noticeably shifted rightward its kinda wild.

Looks like a dumpster fire.
Maybe I'm in the minority here, but I've been in Lemmy for almost 2 years since the API migration, and I don't know if I've ever encountered a tankie, despite seeing hundreds of memes about them.
I'm guessing my instance just doesn't federate with the same weird shit y'all are seeing?
It depends on your instance. I was originally on .lm when they first federated with Hexbear about a year ago and got piled on by like 40 when they thought I was criticizing communism when I wasn't and I also got banned for the sin of replying to them. The reason for banning was "troll". Lmao
I even got ratio'd by someone downplaying the events of the Tiananmen Square. That's when I knew I was up to my waist.
E: It was an immediate instance ban by an Admin iirc
.ml and hexbear are the tankie instances
They used to have a lot of popular communities on there, but they have driven most of them off their space into other instances by now.
If you imply that Putin or Xi are dictators you will get banned from those spaces.
Edit: hey look, I summoned one
i don't want to encourage bothering people in other instances, but getting banned from hexbear feels kind of like getting banned from thedonald. Not quite the badge of honor you'd hope. Like, cool and all but what were you doing there in the first place.

I have been here about as long, though it doesn't feel like two years. I've decided it's probably how some people interpret left of center views.
Kind of like how my parents seem to interpret feminist as misandrist hell bent of world domination and not people who think compensation should be equal.
Either that or people hearing such and such communist country was right about X and interpreting it as that country was right about everything.
It seems like some thought terminating bullshit to me, but like you, maybe I've just not happened across this terrible scourge on Lemmy.
I am a communist. Tankies are a thing. Russia is an Imperialist nation. Saying this in a lot of places will get me banned.
I usually have the mindset „theres no ugly humans, only unhealthy looking ones“ …
