Lemmy world is as tightly controlled as lemmygrad and way more than lemmy.ml. They are the one astroturfing the lemmyverse with their westoid agenda. Remember a month ago when half of lemmy was about trump like if the US was the center of the world? Even now you can see headlines being like "Trump is gonna destroy the US". I empathize with people living under fascism, unlike americans who gleefully sponsored extreme far-righters all around. Hell, they killed socialist politician in my country and I don't come from fucking Guatemala. I'm from a nato country.
The world tankie used to have meaning, but now it's just used by ameritards to mean "commies".
Well I had to sit with my wife while she virtually joined a funeral in lebannon coz her friend's husband got firebombed. I don't really care what western hypocrisy anymore.
To add to it, 90% of the people they call tankies are just leftists who want to learn from the good things that states like USSR and China have done. As if that means they endorse everything they've ever done. However if you try to point out the things America has done such as the multiple genocides we participated in, dictators we propped up, and so on, then that doesn't count towards them being... What do you call an American liberal tankie? Sherman's?
