It literally just said “theres more talk of tankies than there are tankies” and as you can see it wasnt a hot take.

This isn’t very cash money

    My post was not whitewashing tankies, I don’t defend any human rights abuses and I disavow anyone who does.

      Yeah that’s fine, I meant whitewashing as in denying that lemmy has a tankie problem. I don’t claim you are a tankie or anything like that.

        It’s not clearly correct though, as tankies are unpopular, there is absolutely more talk about them (i.e. normal people who like human rights) than there are tankies

          100% with you on this one. For every tankie on lemmy there are like 5 to 10 people bitching about tankies. There are entire unhinged communities dedicated to it even.

          This reads like tankie “red scare” tactics. Fuck tankies, I like my personal rights and freedoms to say so, and I’ll do it often.

          I’m sorry but there are plenty of tankies on lemmy. I don’t frequent .world much, and I assume there aren’t a lot there, but more leftist parts of lemmy unfortunately have a very real problem with tankies.
