It is impossible for liberal servers to not do this every few months.

For them, legitimacy comes from proximity to their own media, educational institutions, state-produced propaganda, and power structures. Anything that challenges their white / western supremacist outlook gets demonized with "tankie" or "communist infiltration sapping our precious bodily fluids".

They have no culture of their own

i seriously dont understand this hardcore anti "tankie"-ism on some parts of lemmy

i understand banning fascists when theyre spreading hateful, discriminatory or/and genocidal rhetoric but what "tankies" believe in is just another political ideology

almost as if they're right about something and liberal moderators are scared of people finding out about the truth 🤔

I think it has nothing to do with the reasons they give, they just want to push western narratives of "righteousness"

I've been to political rooms in blahaj before and the discussed politics always boil down to anti-conservatism and anti-russian/chinese imperialism,

US imperialism? You'll be called a tankie and told to stop acting like one to fit in

Israel genocide? You're regressing the progressiveness of empowering jews, stop being overly antisemitic and using tankie sources

Some political news africa? Turn it about weather or not they support LGBTQ rights yet

Riots in south america? Their governments are oppressing them, also stop using tankie sources

There's no way they can be this biased by coincidence, i'm not a tankie and i didn't believe it at first but it's true, Tankie do carry the burden of always being right!
