"Progressive" Shitlibs when they allow bigots on their platform and Queer people dont like them

(Im pretty sure eveyone other than world users hate world)

.world user here. I also hate .world.

.world has now moved onto banning people for calling out transphobia. It was bad when they banned users for calling out the Democrats' involvement with the genocide of Palestinians, but now they ban users for being "aggressive" with transphobes.

That's concerning... I don't follow instance drama, but if that's even half true I'll switch. Have a source that I can read?

You know it's gotten pretty bad when even the anarchist flag usernames are meming about how ridiculous the anti tankie attitude is.

True left unity is uniting against .world

I've been more people complaining about Tankies than anything actually based on what Tankies support. But I've seen plenty of shitlibs openly supporting for biogtry on .world

That's not really a thing neoliberals say...

They definitely complain about the tankies being a big part of the culture of Lemmy, and housing some of the biggest communities, but the statement in the comic isn't even remotely a thing neolibs or the .world demographic says

So this comic kinda just feels like a strange, confusing straw man...

Aside from conservatives, does anyone think the world is controlled by marxists, tankie or otherwise?

[–] hamid@vegantheoryclub.org 26 points 2 days ago (10 children)

The meme is about lemmy.world and American liberals are center-right conservatives so....

I haven't been able to take the word "tankie" seriously in most cases since I asked that to someone on Reddit and they linked a meme praising anarchist Catalonia

Basically my thoughts are, if you give slight pushback to American talking points you get called a tankie. It's kind of annoying.
