        Yeah the Vaushites are rabid there, I used to occasionally kick the hornets nest by reminding them of the loli porn and how he threatened to SA a girl who turned him down.

              Lmao that's literally what it means, it literally has 2 meanings, pedo material and pedo. When used to describe a person it just means pedo. That's it. That's literally it

              The term is derived from two words roughly meaning "child sex abuse victim" and "mental disorder" as in "you have a mental disorder that makes you want to do sexual abuse of children."

                  Yeah for sure. "mental disorder" refers to the word "complex" which is what the "con" means.

    Yes, Tankies, who famously sport shaved heads and red suspenders and also listen to white supremacist music. Textbook tankie right there.

    196 is filled with funny-clown-hammer fans that are mostly teenagers, bad takes are the expected there

            It's because you're not supposed to even talk about him outside the dunk tank, hence the cryptic emojis - you get hit by a clown with a comically oversized hammer for doing it.

            The emoji came about because in the early days this site was full of posts getting mad at Vaush, which led to users complaining that we were just giving him attention and that he's just some troll and there's no reason to care about his shit - but every post complaining about there being too many posts about Vaush was yet another post about Vaush. So finally someone came up with a copypasta about hitting people with a "big funny clown hammer" every time they brought him up, and once that became the norm we defeated the infectous mindvirus and only talk about him when he comes up organically.

      Something extremely astonishing was then seen in Auschwitz: the ‘Häftlings' (prisoners) who had tasted too much vodka staggered through the streets, to the delight of the Soviet soldiers.

      And they, who had already divested themselves of their white capes, astonished us with their beards, their mustaches. The Red Star stood out on their fur hats. And there were female soldiers, similar to the male soldiers, armed as they were, and driving mules hitched to sleds. They surrounded us, as surprised as we were. And already we were "tovarish" (comrades).

      … For two days I took advantage of the sunshine to go and wash in the snow. I was rather weak, but how can I describe my joy that once again I was free, that once again I could walk without holding myself at attention among the Blocks. That it was good to sit myself down on one of the benches on the perimeter. This was the first time that something like this had happened to me, and in the observation towers it was Soviets who were standing guard."

        I remember some really touching stories from camp survivors. One was a girl that had never tasted chocolate before and was basically adopted by a medical detachment of the red army and they kept bringing her all sorts of strange foods to her delight

    I know that the people on that subreddit are kids, but what generally is the issue with "tankies" about? Socialists support actual socialist countries, don't believe US propaganda, and don't support the US imperialist order. Is it basically just "western left anti-communism" out straight of Blackshirts and Reds, or more general USian political illiteracy (i.e. I'm a socialist like Norway shit)?

      I agree with all the other comments here but I want to add one more to it.

      It's nationalism. Mostly american nationalism, but also a "western" nationalism that is basically "i support the imperial core", aka the "international community".

      Everyone that properly gives up on nationalism and becomes an internationalist does not fall into this group's mindset. There are internationalists that disagree with us on many things but they don't see us with this childish analysis of good vs evil (where the US and the imperial core are on the side of good).

      This nationalism that resides deep down is also a major difference between scratched libs becoming fascists vs scratched libs that do not. Also a major aspect between those who "support Ukraine"(nationalism) and those who want an end to the war.

        This is what people miss when they describe it. They are not just not knowing, they have been taught all of the life that the western camp is right and that all other are lying. They believe that they are better. Also than indigenous people. This is why they dismiss them so easily.

          We aren't doing enough to target nationalism and promote internationalism and I keep saying it in the hopes that someone will come along with like better ideas than I have that translates to better propaganda. We have a lot of effective tools for being anti cop or anti troops or anti america or anti racism etc etc but I rarely come across anything that is anti-nationalism. I think it's one of the biggest things we ought to be doing but I don't know effective tools for it.

          Once we get people over the hump and out of nationalism this shit will become so much easier.

      it's definitely western anti-communism. calling them left is honestly giving them too much credit. they're against transphobia (because for better and worse, white USian transfemininity is culturally linked to spending a lot of time posting online). i don't think they have any particularly radical anti-racist, anti-capitalist, or feminist analysis outside of that.

          Well I'm an anarchist and I'd call them various rude names.

          I'm not saying you have to polish off Xi's taint, but if you're an anarchist toeing the US State Department's line, you would literally be doing more for yourself and the people around you if you just decided to commit to liberalism.

          Increasingly the bulk of "anti-tankie" posters are liberals and "socialist" socdems (liberals) by dint of the term becoming slightly more mainstream.

      The term originated from those who followed the party line of the Soviet Union. Specifically, those who supported the use of tanks to quell the 1956 Hungarian Revolution were the original tankies. Today, it is used by liberals in the same way that a boomer would call Democrats "commies".

      It is typically used as an insult by liberals who believe that they are the most progressive people on the planet. Instead of facing the harsh realities that they support fascist and imperialist policies or that someone else might be to the left of them politically, they instead berate anyone who calls them out on it.

      If you don't support NATO, you're a tankie. If you have anything good to say about China, you're a tankie. If you don't think France should invade Niger - tankie. If you oppose sending tanks to Ukraine - TANKIE.
