could you explain how that’s not covered by the categories I listed

it’s a Marxist/anarchist space, and tankie is not a meaningful term, it’s an epithet for punching left. if you’re expressing contrition maybe stop acting like every other social democrat shitter running around here.

Wasn’t me, but you can post in !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com if you want discussion of a moderation action you received.

I would have probably given you a temp ban, but considering you just got banned from a hexbear account for the same sort of activity and are now complaining about ‘tankies’ in this very thread, that would probably have been too kind.

secondly, i sincerely promise to act in good faith and learn a bit more when it comes to socialism/communism. i sincerely hope you forgive me.

do you think hexbear is run by tankies who DIDN’T realize that you DON’T have to support stalin to support marxism-leninism?

hmmmm sounds like good faith to me

i stg, using images from different points in time

trotsky 1919

stalin 1919

Which is what ChapoTrapHouse and every other supposed “leftist” are saying pertaining Graham Platner if you replace the word “Iraqi” with “trans”.

Should I now advocate to cancel Hasan Piker, ChapoTrapHouse and the entire “left”, when they do make a video which advocates for oppressed minorities?

“the left” is more than media entertainers and there are also trans iraqis. I don’t care what Hasan’s opinion, or chapo’s opinion is of the guy. I wouldn’t vote for him even if I could, I think he’s a cryptofash.

you’re banned from slop and I think it’s entirely justified because you seem entirely incapable of criticism of your preferred Internet personality. it’s terminally online behavior

not a “single edgy tweet”, I linked 4 in the previous post, and that was over a multi-day period of him doubling down. there’s other examples, but I’m not sure that listing every example of him being shitty would be enough for you either.

he’s an entertainer with obviously shitty opinions about trans people and thus people aren’t interested in his political demagoguing.

the common consensus from what I’ve seen is that graham planter is a cryptofash, regardless of what chapo says about him. I don’t watch them so I have no idea what they’ve even said about him. Here’s what I’ve said about him: blackwater Nazi tattoo guy sucks and I don’t see a reason to believe a word he says

you keep linking bad empanada videos, I suggest branching out to other information sources

the content creator in the video you posted says transphobic shit on the regular and doubles down on it when challenged. just because he doesn’t say it in all his videos doesn’t make him less of a reactionary

example:

a couple trans people being awful zionists doesn’t make it no longer bigoted to say that people who are trans are mostly looking for a marginalized identity to hide behind.

posting a bigots content made you get called out. your response to someone saying "I think Graham platner is a crypo fash, but I don’t need a transphobe to tell me that" was to completely miss the point and sarcastically say ‘mhm yes anyone who doesn’t endorse “transzionism” is a bigot’

the guy is a transphobe completely separatly from his opinions on Israel. asserting that trans people are just being trans in order to hide behind marginalized identity is transphobic

nobody

contrapoints with her liberal Zionist (fascist but trans) response to people asking her to comment on the situation in Gaza (for some reason).

Kkkontrapoints on that “but i live in imperial core” arc

Contrapoints comes out in favor of Israel’s genocide in Gaza

Hey look, it’s Contrapoints’ car. (cw visual allusion to Confederate flag)

Couple nice zingers to own KKKontraPointSS fans

There’s pages of results lmao

I suggest watching less bad empanada

You’re on a roll, got banned from hexbear for accusing people of ‘transzionism’, now this

bad empanada is a clown

Transitioning helped a lot, I do still feel depressed occasionally, but it’s more passing and related to hormones.

Switching from a career where I was on call nearly all the time for immediate issues for one where I have more flexibility and don’t have to drive as much was a big help.

I still mask and feel really alienated being around people who don’t, but that sentiment was not new to me being vegan and trans and an anarchist. Those orientations don’t always lend themselves to being understood by others who aren’t.

I don’t spend much time online. Organizing with like-minded individuals in real life is way better for my mental health.

I do smoke a lot of weed, but it’s because I enjoy it rather than because I feel bad or am trying to self-medicate.

There’s a lot to the troika, it’s been associated with Russia for centuries. Literally means ‘a group of three’.

The configuration of two horses galloping with one horse trotting in the middle allowed for high speeds across vast distances and is commonly referenced in russian literature, particularly authors like Pushkin, Gogol, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, etc.

It’s also pretty associated with the trinity (troitsa). Triplicity is a major feature of Russian folklore and culture in general; the three brothers, the three trials, three roads, three kisses, etc.

For revolutionaries it was the smallest organizing unit for a number of reasons and was present in both early anarchist and bolshevik cells. Some advantages were that it was agile, hard to infiltrate, and doesn’t need a leader, rather a shared direction. In many ways an anti-hierarchical organizing pattern.

In the Stalin era it got a bit more of a sinister connotation as a ‘troika’ would be the group of officials signing off on sentences.

For a while now there’s been a group of NAFO-adjacent shit-stirrers obsessing over the malign influence of the so-called ‘tankie triad’ which is lemmy.ml, lemmygrad.ml, hexbear.net. This style of posting has been dubbed ‘feudposting’, and I’m parodying it in the OP.

The joke I am making is that if you’re going for ominous names the ‘tankie troika’ is way more menacing and russian. I made this meme taking that bit to its ridiculous conclusion.

Who?

They used to systematically repost everything posted to memes@lemmy.ml to .world due to their raging hatred of the tankie triad

The rest is just assertions without evidence so I’ll have to pull Hitchens’ razor.

Neocon Iraq war supporting Christopher Hitchens? weems like a weird guy to quote if you’re opposed to the state murdering people but ok

Obviously not. Not sure what you’re trying to get at here though.

I’m an anarchist though I do get called a tankie quite a lot as a pejorative.

I’m opposed to all states. That said as someone who lives in the west I don’t really care to spend a lot of energy being mad about what my governments state enemies are doing.

‘democracy’ in capitalist states is a cruel facsimile of actual democracy. If you don’t have money for rent you might as well be unpersoned, corporations are people and money is free speech.

this is pretty spot on, bonus points for including anarchists

the best organizers I know do happen to be doms

Living or spending a lot of time near automotive pollution is a cause of asthma fuck cars
