Honest question - what's a tankie? I feel like I've seen them mentioned a ton on Lemmy but I'd never heard the term prior to a few days ago. From the image it looks like a maga/skinhead combo?
tankie is a boogeyman liberals and online "anarchists" use. it gives them something to rage at instead of fascists and capitalists.
I am capable of disagreeing with multiple ideologies at once
Funny how liberals who say this only seem to disagree with communism, I guess capitalism offers you enough treats to not give a fuck about other people๐
Funny how you assume I am pro-capitalism because I don't agree with you
Well spouting anti-communist beliefs would lead to that assumption, funny how that works๐ตโ๐ซ๐
Am I not allowed to disagree with your ideology, while also disagreeing with others? I'm not "spouting" anything
No๐๐
, I don't want to hear bad takes from the mouth of a privileged centrist who would watch me be hate-crimed and do nothing as that would be too 'extremist'.
so because I disagree with communism, I don't want to help minorities? you're making one hell of a jump there
there's no point in me discussing this with you if you're going to set up a strawman and call it bigoted
I don't know feels logical, the only people fighting for minority rights are the far left. I don't see any centrist parties doing anything but virtue signal.
you do realise there's a gap between far left and centre?
Oh you are thinking of social reformists who twiddle their thumbs while conditions worsen by the minute in the global south, but any direct action is seen as too extreme. You can't vote socialism into existence through a capitalist "democracy".
OK, you are entitled to your opinion, but I am not going to listen to your angry commets towards me any further, please address any further concerns to literally anyone else :)
