  • There it is, I was wondering when the classic .ml Tankie shit takes would show up on this article.

    Just couldn’t bother reading the rest of the article huh?

    “While many Chinese citizens enjoy international travel, the right to leave China appears to be restricted for growing categories of people throughout the country,” said Maya Wang, associate China director at Human Rights Watch. “The authorities are going beyond existing restrictions on Tibetans and Uyghurs to limit the travel of people throughout China under the guise of anti-crime campaigns.”

    Ya know, I bet if this article had changed nothing else but replace “Chinese” with “US” .ml tankies would be raging against it LMAO














  • I do love them and being with them (my post history should reinforce that if you doubt me); I don’t regret parenthood in the least; but their presence has definitely altered my plans for the week, especially those related to work. (I live in a rural area and have no friends here outside of my household, so socializing has not significantly changed for me.)

    I loathe the rise of that “Super Parents” ideology, like if you can reorient your entire life around your children, that’s cool.

    But if you can’t match it does not mean you love your kids any less.


  • It’s not like those things are gone forever, infants are the most time intensive but as they get older that intensity fades.

    By the time they reach elementary around 5 your energy and time should have returned to a decent chunk, about 10/11 you can start (ultimately based on their maturity/responsibility levels, every child is different) leaving them at home, they can make their own snacks, use the microwave and actually have some independence from you

    While they are <5 years old yea

    But let me tell you, once you cross that magical school threshold things get significantly easier. Though you’ll have to deal with more and more social type problems, but those are easy IMO as it’s mostly just talking with them

    Each year after that is easier…at least until the teen years, but again that’s more social/attitude type problems, at least you can just leave a 15 year old at home by themselves and go socialize by yourself and stuff




  • I dare you to find anything pro tankie in my submissions. In fact I am banned on hexbear and probably a bunch of other related communities for dunking on them.

    Calling people “centrists” or right-wing or “fake leftists” for being against authoritarian/fascist regimes is pretty much straight outta the Tankie playbook

    However I don’t believe their agenda warrants defederation, that ultimately just turns the fediverse into a bunch of differently flavored echo chambers. Discourse thrives from a variety of voices, and as a leftist myself it seems silly you work so hard to silence voices you and I have so much in common with, while there are much more important fights. Leftist infighting is as much a threat to the movement as is the capital and its lackeys.

    I can vibe and have good discourse with anybody on the left, except Tankies. Hell, I myself would be all too happy to see the fall of capitalism in my lifetime, but Tankies are “left in name only” authoritarians and generally just spread misinformation, pro-CCP/pro-Russia propaganda and the denials of all the negatives about them.

    And frankly, have no place on the Fediverse at large, Lemmy is open source so if they want to have a platform they can, but the wider Fediverse does not and id argue should not facilitate that kind of crap.

    It is not intolerant to not tolerate intolerance.


















  • Nope, Tankie is very clearly defined as “Authoritarian Communists”

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie

    Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the occurrence of the events thereof. More specifically, the term has been applied to those who express support for one-party Marxist–Leninist socialist republics, whether contemporary or historical. It is commonly used by anti-authoritarian leftists, including anarchists, libertarian socialists, left communists, democratic socialists, and reformists to criticise Leninism, although the term has seen increasing use by liberal and right‐wing factions as well.


  • They are not as extreme

    IMO they’re just more subtle about it because they don’t want a larger call for defed to happen, I’m sure they all have alts on Hex/Grad where they let out their…“restraints”.

    They’re very quick to deride .world as nothing but a “Reddit 2.0 CIA front propaganda machine” and yet won’t defed from it themselves…

    Btw to anybody who comes across this user is a .ml Tankie, so anything not a tankie is right-wing to them

    And Tankies = Authoritarian “communists” so basically, they’re pro-CCP, pro-Russia/Putin and neither can do no wrong in their eyes or it’s just CIA propaganda.

    Anything critical of either, no matter how factual, historical or deserving it is is swiftly removed under their favorite catch-all “Rule 1 bigotry” on .ml
