The way "tankie" is used today it just means communist who has actually read communist theory and understands the nature of imperialism and applies it correctly to the current geopolitical situation in the world.
Solipsism and paranoia win the day in your brain yet again. People can't possibly earnestly have these opinions, because I'm not used to them, must be bots. Doesnt matter that they have three years of post history where they talk about innocuous stuff that has nothing to do with Russia and china. Thats just part of the act. And the fact that you think the pronoun tags make it MORE likely that we're bots is even more laughable.
Its really fucking depressing seeing how effective the "bot" propaganda has been.
At this point I don't think you're a bot but it's pretty obvious many of you are. The fact any and every comment gets 10+ upvotes in 15 minutes is unnatural for a site like this. There should be some comments with under 5 upvotes but I NEVER see hexbear comments get under that.
I have a hard time believing any community is that gender diverse.
maybe take even five minutes to think about what you're suggesting here: you believe Russia or China or whatever has created 20.000 bots just for them to sit around on their own instance for three years before federating?
Test running the bots + making it seem more realistic is definitely feasible.
for three years? for something as irrelevant as lemmy??
They're on every corner of the internet buddy, fake accounts are dirt cheap to run especially in Russia.
Or, maybe, just maybe - and I know it's hard for some one like you to believe - there are just people out there who disagree with you.
If you're questioning whether we're real people you can literally just look through all the posts on hexbear. Our entire history is right there for anyone interested.
What a beautiful brain you have you think anyone has been running a website full of bots for three years in the hope that one day Reddit might implode and they can be used to trick some lost redditors.
