    I don’t know. I don’t want to play apologetics for the tankies, but showing up in a tankie community and telling them that they’re supporting fascism just sounds like trolling to me. You know what you’re doing, and them taking the bait isn’t power tripping.

      That post hasnt been removed yet. If you look at the image you see a comment has been removed on the modlog.

      The comment says that the CCP supports Nazis which is true, and that Tankies are all Nazi Supporters. It had a +12 -4 ratio.

          TikTok, Xi Jinping, and all other online Tankie communities STRONGLY preferred and supported Trump during the US election.

          Trump ended DEI, nominated genocide promoter Hegseth, and created a position for known Nazi Elon Musk.

          CCP supports Nazism, Tankies love Nazis.

    While all Nazis may be fascists, not all fascists are Nazis specifically. So it’s incorrect use of language, i.e. at least misinfo if not delivered with intent to mislead that would be disinfo.

    While there is a great deal of similarity between the Alt-Left tankies and the Alt-Right MAGATs, that doesn’t mean that tankies are actual Nazis, just that they support them with such misleading rhetoric as BoTh SiDeS sAmE.

    So this is definitely flamebait. You weren’t trying to convince anyone of anything, just venting your frustrations at the world. People will be more receptive if you consider that their consent to receive messages should matter as well.

      TikTok, Xi Jinping, and all Online Tankie communities heavily favored Trump in the USA Election.

      The CCP and Tankies support Nazis.

        Yes, or more to the point they express favor towards anything that would lead to violent upheaval of the entire Western civilization. Such as beheading landlords, which includes anyone who merely has a bank account that earns interest i.e. old people’s retirement.

        Isn’t this still flamebait though?

          If I were on Tankies@lemmy.tankies.tech insulting tankies or some other nonsense that would make sense.

          But I insulted Tankies on Flippanarchy. Anarchy and Tankie by definitions are opposing ideologies.

    That doesn’t track anyway, the china helping trump get elected part.

    If china wanted trump then they are fucking stupid from their own standpoint. Orange man hates them and is slapping them with tariffs, and china’s biggest trade partner is us.

    Unless there’s some 5d chess explantation, I’m going with that doesn’t pass the sniff test.

    But there’s another prominent evil dictator who trump is besties with who absolutely does interfere in our elections that might deserve the accusation

      Trump destroying America and it alienating itself from its global allies and pushing its trade partners away with punitive tariffs will only drive them towards China.

      China wanted Trump because he is a destructive force and will only hurt America, they and everyone else in the world can weather the tariffs for a few years.

    The nazis in the white house = Trump? CCP did not elect him.

    CCP isn’t tankie. They don’t celebrate what happened 35 years ago, much less had a need to do the same recently.

    Attacking tankies in an anarchist (anti-tankie) sub with a wacky (racist) conspiracy about (not anarchist) china supporting nazis?

    Worth banning.
