I am not going to bat for Tankies, I am asking this little club of Tankie haters to point me in some sustantiative directions (NOT vague anecdotes) that backup the active and sustained hatred this group has for Tankies that motivates y’all to share memes about hating them quite frequently.
If I was complaining about a group this much and had built my identity around it, I would worry people would start to think I was full of shit and trying to get everyone worried about something as a distraction from much more awful, pressing forces.

I have, and yeah there are ugly parts… but the point that y’all push it to insulting them just comes off as weird and insecure like this community is terrified people will overwhelmingly like Tankies more than people with your ideology which says everything about y’all and very little about Tankies which is precisely my point.
Yeah, that’s a real softball way to say “genocide denial” and “genocide cheerleading”.

… I’m sorry, is authoritarianism not worthy of insults?
Of all the varieties of authoritarians, tankies are the ones that are most common on this website. I’m really not getting why you’re coming to a comm specifically for venting about tankie bullshit and throwing a fit that there is [checks notes] venting about tankie bullshit.

Because I am honestly mystified why especially in this moment in world history you pour so much energy and time into this.

… fucking what.
How much time and effort do you think posting a tankie meme a day (or two if a tankie or one of their defenders says something fuckwadded and stupid to me, like ‘I don’t see why you’re so worked up about Uyghur genocide!’) takes?
Do you think that posting on the Threadiverse is changing world history?
At best, and it would not be a claim that I would make for a meme comm, it would be changing the Threadiverse, which is, itself, an insanely small proportion of people, even politically involved people, in the Anglosphere. Even if you assumed 100% of us were Americans, it would still be an insanely small percentage of whatever narrow slice of politically important demographics you wanted to place us on.
A lot of people on this very platform who are the very same that are commonly described as „tankies“.
Specifics please
You’ve got a search bar and fingers don’t ya? Look some shit up before you go to bat for the fucking tankies.

Goes to bat for Tankies
Do you often think in such conspiratorial ways? You may need a therapist.
I do have a therapist, thanks for the genuine concern :)
“had built my identity around it”

… we’re on fucking Lemmy, of all places. There are tankies here, on this collection of sites.
Are you really saying you’ve never taken a dip in to Lemmygrad or Hexbear, or even just .ml?
