Not that there’s anything wrong with content warnings. But you’d think people who actively celebrate massacres and call for the death of others can handle a children’s cartoon lol

    Funny stuff. Especially considering how tankies go ballistic with execution fantasies. I have personally seen one tankie fantasize about killing a non-tankie (that they were having discussing with) with an ice pick and generally behave like disgusting degenerates.

      Of all the extremists I’ve had the misfortune of interacting with, from Neo-Nazis to Jihadists to Incels, Tankies are by far the most pathetic in terms of practicing what they preach.

      They larp about violence but can’t stand the sight of it for even a second, which questions how they’ll manage any revolution or advancing their course when merely going outside is a mental challenge for them. Reminds me of that Disco Elysium dialogue about communism, where it sounds brave to say the slogans, but when it comes to reality, you’ll have firing lines, animal wagons and genocide.

      It’s all larp. It’s why I think they like liberals and want to be liberal themselves, but feel too embarrassed to admit it.

        Yeah, tankies are the definitely the most pathetic and disconnected from reality.

        I would even go as far as saying it’s mostly online roleplay (bored teenagers, internet demagogue-shitposters and the mentally ill).

        And it’s a not matter of me talking shit about them and hating (I am Ukrainian so I do actually hate them). They have zero presence in the real world and no one takes them seriously.

        Russians treat them as useful idiots, I don’t know Chinese (and I’ve never loved in China), but I will speculate that even Chinese nationalists don’t take them seriously.

          Yeah, it’s sad in a way that no one in geopolitics takes them seriously.

          But that’s probably a good thing that they’re ultimately harmless.

          Do you get any hate on lemmy for being ukranian?

            Not really, no.

            There is definitely an above average amount people spreading russian propaganda considering the modest size (55K MAU).

            Lemmy seems like the most viable alternative to US-based social networks. Hopefully it gets larger and outgrows its tankie roots.

        Yeah I have been told, multiple times, this is my fault, personally, because I am not out shooting redhats. This is coming from people who’s comment history betrays they fact that they have never been in a fight, let alone killed someone.

      The “ice pick” is a Trotsky reference, btw. He was assassinated in Mexico by the NKVD secret police with an ice axe and these idiots can’t even get that right.
