I just want to clarify, is this calling OP a tankie? (And if so, what am I missing)
Nothing, lemmy world thinks anyone who says democrats are not the left is a tankie. It's like maga claiming everything is woke. Neither group actually knows what that word means any more, they just know they can use it as a pejorative against outside groups.
Saying Castro is preferable to Harris is absolutely tankie bullshit logic.
Define tankie then. Because theres a necessity of genocide denial and between Castro and Harris, only one is aiding and abeding a genocide . . . but don't let facts get in the way of you dolts punching left aimlessly then wondering why you lose elections.
A tankie is someone who abandons logic and reason to shill for authoritarian left ideologies, like yourself.
For example, instead of just asking what my definition of tankie is, you felt compelled to throw in a personal attack. Tankies often rely on bad faith arguments, much like fascists. You're all "ends justify the means" / "the right color boot feels better on your neck" people.
Bro im an anarchist on an anarchist instance and youre calling me a tankie without even being able to define it. Heres a hint, actual tankies, when they had actual political power, sent people like me to camps. So if you could stop calling everyone you don't agree with tankie that would be great, because real tankies want anarchists dead. Kamala still closer to a real tankie then the person you called a tankie. I encourage you to actually research what that word means. Im under no obligation to be nice to people who call everyone they disagree with a tankie any more than a jew would be nice to someone accusing everyone of being a nazi. You're diluting a term and making Anarchists less safe by allowing REAL tankies to hide among a sea of people who have nothing to do with that term making it harder for us to organize since fucking everyone is getting called a tankie.
I already defined it. Don't gaslight.
Tankies send people like me to camps too, friend. So do fascists. We're tied at best in the hypothetical oppression olympics.
What makes you think the most important thing to me is ensuring anarchists feel safe?
Cool. She's not a fascist, but she isn't leftist either. Meming about it won't change it.
Only right wingers calls her a leftist though. And meant as a slur.
The only people who don’t mean leftist as a slur are leftists.
