    Tankies aren’t leftists.

    And there has been a huge problem with tankies on lemmt. It not a buzzword, it’s a kneejerk reaction.

    Also if your account is on one of the tankie-triad instances then people will assume you’re a tankie no matter what you say

      Tankies aren’t leftists.

      See, that’s part of the loop here. Tankies are definitionally leftist, else they’d be called something other than tankie. It is the application of leftism, be it deemed, fake, real, red fash, bot, etc, is what’s uneven and arbitrary.

      So much so it is to the point that applying it based on the user’s instance is considered a norm.
