I’m entering my years as a senior anarchist, and I always find it funny when some in their 20’s who got their entire personality from a podcast tells me to read to read On Authority or State and Revolution or something. My dude, I actually read people I disagree with, do you? Because only someone that doesn’t would think those are profound criticisms.

You’re just creating this strawman because you disagree with the other side that is recommending you read about their beliefs, despite claiming that you read people you disagree with
It’s does because they are very basic criticisms to the point of being kind of insulting. It’s a akin to asking someone with clinical depression if they have tried vitamin d supplements. The suggestion itself demonstrates their own cluelessness.
Isn’t it the opposite here. Idk if when they say tankie they mean leftist hexbear users or maga type right wing people. That’s not trying to insult hexbear. I literally don’t know.
I get called a tankie or centrist here compared to reddit where only a few times I was called a centrist.
Because they don’t exist, people will say it’s because they were part of hexbear or another defederated instance but I’ve checked them out and they’re more or less the same maybe a bit more left leaning but certainly not tankies
On Lemmy, it’s more like “oh you’re an anarchist? You obviously haven’t read enough Lennin”

I’ve read both those, that’s the point.
Still, that doesn’t imply the opposite about them

People keep saying that about lemmy, but I haven’t seen it. Maybe it is your filter bubble?
To be fair, your instance has defederated from the 2 large tankie instances.
Same here, these people constantly complaining about “tankies” seem to vastly outnumber the alleged tankies in my experience

Tankie generally means a Marxist-Leninist, specifically ones that support the USSR under Stalin
Removed my comment, you were correct I was misinformed
No worries, happy to see some humility online
Til!

I haven’t seen a single one personally
Your instance has defederated from them.
Uh-huh, expect I went to hexbear, it’s made up in the public consciousness
Because they don’t exist, people will say it’s because they were part of hexbear or another defederated instance but I’ve checked them out and they’re more or less the same maybe a bit more left leaning but certainly not tankies
I’m mostly convinced it’s bots or conservatives
Yeah I have an account on lemmy.ml and I don’t see it there. Maybe buried in the modlog? Which is public?
