Went both looking for fellow tankies and seeing who I should be blocking on Mastodon by looking at the hashtag #tankies.

It gave me brain damage and I also found a few of these "lemmy is made by tankies, ewww can't use it"-posts that I had never seen before. So sharing these for our mutual enjoyment:

Also just the general vibe of the posts with this tag is just so hostile. We really live rent free in these peoples heads. Interesting how so many of these were ukraine flag or isntreal flag profiles too, also a few anne applebaum replies, because of course.

The vibe is pretty much whatever this drivel is by a true communism understander:

    It doesn't even take theory. People don't fight wars, especially civil wars, with people who have the same ideology as they do. The Russian Revolution, French Revolution, Chinese Civil War, and Spanish Civil War all had socialists/communists/anarchists on one side with the nobility and monarchs on another side.

    Nearly every time commies have gone to war, it's been to kill fascists or monarchs. You don't have to read 60,731 books of theory to figure that out lmao
