    Is this a sub dedicated to hand-wringing over tankies and sinoapologists?

      I’d characterize it as spotlighting, calling out, and lambasting rather than hand-wringing, but yes. From the community info:

      Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!

        Why don’t you do something productive with your time, like attacking nazis or fascists instead of the few people that are actually working on making the US more socialist and equitable.

          We are. The funny thing is that you tankies are never criticising actual fascists, you spend all of your time handwringing over “liberals”, while regurgitating the propaganda of fascists.

          Pro-authoritarian people should never be ceded credibility, given a platform, or shown anything other than disrespect.

          There’s no such thing as a good person who supports the oppression of others

            Precisely why I simultaneously agree with some statements by tankies and vehemently oppose them. I’m against all forms of authoritarianism, whether that’s fascist, socialist, or whatever it is both major parties in the US are. Government power should be as limited as possible while protecting the people from each other and foreign elements.

          What do you think tankies are?

          They are just as much fan of authoritarian police states as nazis.

          “few people that are actually working on making the US more socialist and equitable.”

          actually got a good chuckle out of that line. i hope you don’t genuinely believe that
