Remembering to look for and ignore folks with that telltale indicator has made the fediverse so much more enjoyable.

    “Tankie” is just a pejorative for those that uphold socialist countries as legitimate, and oppose the US empire. Communists are not anywhere close to MAGA, and pretending they are is sophistry.

        It absolutely is, it’s the McCarthyian vision of a spooky scary communist that wants to gobble up all of the babies. It’s used against Marxists and anti-imperialists to terminate discussion.

                  Yes that’s the stuff. Now tell me something truly disgusting and abhorrent like Ukrainians deserve to die because they are Jewish Nazis or something else completely idiotic.
