Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
Be civil
Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
These "tankies" are conservative right-wing shitbag trolls trying to convince the normal people that supporting oppression and dictators is somehow "left-wing". Do not fall for their conservative bullshit.
Just like any other conservative, every word they utter is deception or manipulation. Tankies are conservative trolls through and through.
Fuck all imperialist and hierarchical power structures. Fuck colonialism and fuck the police. Fuck fascists and the libs that enable them.
How many billionaires before a country is a liberal shit-hole?
600?
675?
Idk man, one seems like too many to me.
China's around 695, guessing the threshold is 700. That's when the tankies will turn on it for sure.
Hear fuckin hear!
Here here
I had one of these fucks try to tell me that North Korea is very democratic.
Easy, NK: One man, one vote. Thus democratic.
And the man? It's Kim.
They literally have democratic in their name!!1!1!! /s
That's the average lemmy.ml user
Tankies
Lemmy was originally built by and for tankies, so this is completely unsurprising. The .ml TLD on the original instance isn't a coincidence.
Lemmygrad was literally made to be an even more mask off .ml
hexbear has entered the chat
lemmygrad
lemmy.ml too increasingly
I'm seeing more and more tankies migrate to lemmy.world, because they don't do anything against them, but lemmy.world is also much less likely to get defederated by other instances. Fuck big, centralized instances. People should move to smaller, niche servers like db0, blahaj.zone, beehaw, etc.
Aright anyone have a blocklist for all these extreme politics?
Hexbear, *.ml, linkerbaan, jimmydoreisalefty
I don't see them so much, but maybe because I'm on slrpnk
anything that ends in hexbear
God my feed was actually tolerable by blocking Hexbear and lemmy.ml. hell, it got better after blocking specific users before just blocking the whole instance itself.
Or lemmygrad or lemmy.ml
It isn't even politics most of the time. Most recently pixels were painted over on the Canvas event that someone held for Lemmy.
I'd upvote the meme if it wasn't also controversial to criticize all war criminals, including both those at the top and the bottom.
Edit: For a source, see people in this thread rushing to argue and feel called out when someone criticizes "all forms of imperialism", including the Western ones.
