minus-square@UNWILLING_PARTICIPANT@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilink91•2 years agoNothing tankie about this. Do conservatives just use it as a kind of slur because they heard progressives using it?
minus-square@nebula42@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink54•edit-22 years agoIt’s (basically) used to describe communists that still support authoritarian regimes such as the ussr, China, and north korea
minus-square@JohnDClay@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilink12•2 years agoI’ve not really heard conservatives use it, mostly lefties who want to distance themselves as far as they can from it.

minus-square@KillAllPoorPeople@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink25•2 years agoWhy do all the 40 year old boomer Lemmy users call anything to the left of the most moderate Democrat “tankie”?
minus-square@SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilink30•edit-22 years agoI do not see it using for leftists in general. Just the ones that for some reason support Russia and China

minus-squareTrack_ShovelOPlinkfedilinkEnglish6•2 years agoLmao at the 30 year old boomer I don’t see why I’m being called a boomer (or at least that’s what seems to be happening here). While I’m not exactly storming the Bastille over here, I’m pretty fucking liberal.
minus-square@Breezy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink5•2 years agoDamnit 30 year olds are boomers now? Where was this boom? Did i miss it or something?
minus-square@Rocket@lemmy.calinkfedilink1•edit-22 years agoMy, the 15 year old boomers are out of touch.
minus-square@KillAllPoorPeople@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink2•2 years agoI’m not calling you a boomer, unless you’re calling the image you posted tankie material and yourself a tankie.

minus-squareFranzialinkfedilink1•edit-22 years agoModerates are still a large demographic in the US but completely unrepresented in the media and in government. Edit: so yeah I agree. I’m personally not likely to label a moderate a Nazi, but I’ll stay vigilant about it.
