I keep hearing the term in political discourse, and rather than googling it, I’m asking the people who know better than Google.

I had no idea this would ignite a shitstorm. I have so many responses now and less idea of what a tankie is now than when I asked.
Ask with an account federated with Hexbear and Lemmygrad, and you’ll get more communist perspectives.
I actively ban hexbear’s entire instance. I relish the fact that I simply can’t see all the hexbear responses to this thread. I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone on hexbear (pre banning) that was even remotely open to considering other viewpoints. It just became so toxic, so quick, whenever their users get involved.
So, basically, this person is happy to blind themselves to other viewpoints to avoid viewpoints they disagree with/people they claim are blind to other viewpoints.
… what an enlightened individual!
There are no hexbear responses because .world is defederated from Hexbear. Hex has little tolerance for liberalism in my experience, because that’s the default on the english-speaking internet.
Other way around. .world is defederated from lemmygrad, but you can still find this post on there
Hex and .world are mutually defederated, no? .world defederated first I thought.
Yes. But… technically it doesn’t show up on hexbear because hexbear defederated from .world, and if it wasn’t mutual it would show up (as seen with 'grad)
Edit: It’s an pretty much a useless distinction that I’m probably only making cuz I should go to bed.
Haha, fair! Grad can see it, but hex can’t, that’s what I meant.
I’m confused. Maybe I don’t understand federation as well as I thought.
~~This post originates on .ml, right?
So what does .world’s federation status with hexbear have to do with my ability to see hexbear posts on .ml?~~
Edit: Ah, no, the post does in fact originate on .world so .world’s federation status with hexbear is determinant for the lack of hexbear posts, not my individual blocking of the instance.
Yep, the comm is .ml but the poster is .world, ao it’s like it’s invisible to anyone that can’t see both .ml and .world.
Uhuh
Other viewpoints: Maybe been 50% nazi is not so bad!
There isn’t any. Hexbear has defederated lemmy.world, which is OPs instance, and so this post does not exist for them.
Ah right - oh well, however it’s achieved I don’t have see every post in my feed turn into a discussion with two sharply defined poles: Nazis and communism.
I am in the same boat. Been on here for about 2 years and I hear the words…but i dunno what it means? Thought it was just me.
I’m so happy I’m not as stupid as I thought because I have no idea either and now I still don’t know
It’s a loaded term by design. It started as a pejorative and morphed into a strawman pejorative, you can see many people throughout this thread describing people that don’t exist.
You know that magnifying glass looking icon? You can search terms across instances.
Lol, my comment got removed, I guess you now know which vommunity you signed up on and how they function.
Cheers
Fascist apologia here gets banned, in .world you have people openly saying that Palestinians deserve to be genocided and you guys don’t give a shit
Ah, the old “what about”, now with .world instead of the USA.
I’m saying each community bans something different. I agree with banning fascist discourse, I dont agree with banning communist discourse. .world thinks otherwise and that’s why it’s shit IMO.
.ml bans goid reasoning and valid historical facts lol.
Such as?
I’m on lemmy.world I didn’t sign up for this
Oh sorry, i confounded with this instance, my apologies.
