  It’s a pejorative for those who support existing socialist states.

    A tankie is anyone who supports violent left wing regimes. It requires support of violence and doesn’t require that the regime still exists.

      Violence of the oppressed vs violence of the oppressor

      All revolutions are inherently violent, so again, this just circles back to supporting socialist states.

        No one said anything about revolution.

  I didn’t know what it was until recently either. I learned when they started telling me about how Uhygur human rights violations were a hoax.

  You’ll run into them on Lemmy eventually.

        Feel free to look up whichever western media slop trough you want for their profoundly butthurt takes on it, it the investigation and its findings are an easily verifiable fact. They have far more credibility on the topic of human rights violations than the US and our lackeys, they have an obvious motive to care for the wellbeing of muslims internationally whereas we have a long and extremely well documented history of bombing and torturing muslims. More importantly we have fuck all for evidence to contradict their findings, and thousands more international visitors to Xinjiang every year to confirm that it’s just more US atrocity propaganda. No WMDs in Iraq, no genocide in China.

        And the party’s final and most important command was to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears.
