Hexbear is fascist. They’re pretending to be tankies, but every single post on there is right-wing and bigoted. It’s so damn obvious.
These people absolutely just make shit up relentlessly.
Likewise, if one were to call Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman's actions during the American Civil War "proto-tankie", I'd be hard pressed to honestly disagree with them.
New site tagline
they do this a lot. its disappointing to see trans users be ok with shit like this. especially considering how many chasers are in that comm. fam, you can do better, and you should demand better
it always reminds of this one time i helped a trans lady out, bought her transit to her appointment to hrt, bought the hrt, she came back to the center to hug me and said i changed her life and that what i did made things so much easier for her. some time later she realized i was a communist (i think someone made a joke about it or something), asked me if it was true (i said yes, i help people), then she yelled at me about being a tankie and ghosted the whole center. i didnt even say anything or get in an argument, she just overheard it. i cant help but mourn the idea that she could have had a good and safe space and made a lot of friends, but she ended up hurting herself due to propaganda.

You all have been found out.
OH MY FUCKING GOD, these fucking people are the ones who complain about "tankie" censorship while simultaneously banning anyone who doesn't adhere to their anticommunist unfalsifiable orthodoxy. They use the same talking points all the time, which we've debunked COUNTLESS TIMES, and REFUSE to listen to any points we make. It's really hard to interact with people when they themselves are the ones who've been poisoned by so much propaganda they automatically refuse any good-faith discussion.
Hello passing BLAHAJ user. If any of you happen to be passing by you should also know that the death rate for the gulags over 70 years ago was also better than the current death rate in modern US prisons and this can be proven quite easily.
When ignoring the period of 1941-1944 (nazi occupation of the soviet union and ww2) where 70% of all deaths in gulags occurred, the program actually had an incredibly low death rate for its time. In fact, by 1953 the gulag system had a LOWER death rate than current modern day US prisons have. Fact.
According to this study the gulag deaths were approximately 830,000 from 1934 to 1953. As I said above however, it is important to know that 70% of all these deaths occurred between 1941 and 1944 (included) so they can be attributed to difficulties from the War Period and nazi occupation. Also, it's important to note that antibiotics didn't become available until after WW2, this contributes significantly to earlier higher death figures.
To put things into perspective. Using the same source as above for the USSR, and this report from the Bureau of Justice Statistics we can say that Mortality in the gulag in 1953 (236 deaths per 100,000 prisoners) was lower than mortality in US prisons today, both in state prisons (303 deaths per 100,000 prisoners) and federal prisons (252 deaths per 100,000 prisoners).
Feel free to double check these numbers(you should check anyone's numbers always). I know it's surprising to hear that as far back as 1953 they were better, but it is absolutely 100% correct.
This data also doesn't include the covid years, which would make this data considerably worse for the US.
The visceral emotional reaction you have to "tankies" is a product of propaganda, you should be having a far greater emotional reaction to anything to do with the US, particularly because it actually exists whereas the USSR does not.
Remember, you are not immune to propaganda.
Honestly, I’m so weary of being open minded and tolerant.
Lol, lmao.
If instances can participate in asymmetric information warfare without reprisal, the Lemmy experiment has failed.
I am asymmetric information warfare, will some please by my failed lemmy experiment 🥺
But you see, if I post the gigachad xi image in a comment I win the argument and my stalin posting friends give me an upvote
it is strategically-incompetent to allow tankies to own our core tech
This comment is brought to you by the Hexbear outreach program.
wtf there's a hexbear outreach program and yet I have not been contacted
edit: to clarify these are all different comments
Baby making requires being horny and horny posting is BANNED.
Explain that one tankies.
Also love how this mf thinks we're suppressing dissent because we're trying to keep our users from seeing the truth, like their politics are so good it'll convince this site to abandon communism
As the facilitator of the purge, let me tell you this: at least half of purged users (i'm pretty sure at least 60-something) were either users of !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works/!tankiejerk@lemmy.world or were directly talking shit about this site by name, sometimes where they think we couldn't hear it. These chucklefucks do not deserve our time
10/10 bit, but also looking over their post history I feel like this is probably a teenager with no real beliefs. They said Ukraine went "Tankie Mode" by killing civilians in Donbas when someone told them about it lmao.
Comrade Zelensky, welcome to the revolution
You know when you see a thread full of people excited to justify the post war nazi collaboration, and also at the same time seem to think that the US alone won WW2, and to top it off are frantically posting about the tankies... idk dude it just doesn't feel great. I can't believe how much nazi apologia I've seen creeping up the past couple years, but the past month still feels like a fever dream
You can hear the big clock that says "Sitting President says the word 'Tankie' on live tv" at the top just ticked
If tankies can will the term to no longer be shameful then why can't we insist that it still is? Do the tankies have a +1 rhetoric buff that we don't or something?
I love this idea that tankies are constantly taking over every subreddit
Do not get fooled, Hexbear might seem like fascists pretending to be tankies, but it is actually all a ruse to hide that they are liberals
i love how that dude makes an absolutely ridiculous assumption, as i've never seen a "tankie" deny that current russia is reactionary as fuck, but since he's saying Bad Thing about The Tankies everyone just goes "hmm yea those tankies amirite? smh"
liberals are fucking idiots, they never have any idea what they're actually talking about and just throw around concepts and categories with the level of understanding of a monkey playing with a power tool
tankies are when the communist ideology has become diluted with western globalist wokeism.
Oh man federation will be fun
Is this it? Is Ro Khanna going to be the one to publicly say "tankie"?
