minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink97•1 year agoNothing tankie about this. Do conservatives just use it as a kind of slur because they heard progressives using it?
minus-square@nebula42link56•edit-21 year agoIt’s (basically) used to describe communists that still support authoritarian regimes such as the ussr, China, and north korea
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink11•1 year agoI’ve not really heard conservatives use it, mostly lefties who want to distance themselves as far as they can from it.
minus-square@KillAllPoorPeoplelink21•1 year agoWhy do all the 40 year old boomer Lemmy users call anything to the left of the most moderate Democrat “tankie”?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink32•edit-21 year agoI do not see it using for leftists in general. Just the ones that for some reason support Russia and China

minus-squareTrack_ShovelOPlinkfedilinkEnglish6•1 year agoLmao at the 30 year old boomer I don’t see why I’m being called a boomer (or at least that’s what seems to be happening here). While I’m not exactly storming the Bastille over here, I’m pretty fucking liberal.
minus-square@Breezylink5•1 year agoDamnit 30 year olds are boomers now? Where was this boom? Did i miss it or something?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink0•edit-21 year agoMy, the 15 year old boomers are out of touch.
minus-square@KillAllPoorPeoplelink2•1 year agoI’m not calling you a boomer, unless you’re calling the image you posted tankie material and yourself a tankie.
