    I asked you about tankies, not fascists.

    Going on a witch hunt against tankies and calling tankies everyone who disagree with you is not really showing you under a good light. As you said, referring to people as tankies want only and haphazardly will make you called a fascists, because only the fascists are hunting down tankies with definitions known to them only.

    Again, throughout history the leftists are the first to fight and to be hunted down by the fascists. And as a matter of fact, the fight and the hunt has started in the western world.

    Sure, Russia and China are fascists countries and bad in many ways. But USA and Europe are turning fascist too. That is what concerns me. And turning fascist in order to fight Russia or China is just stupid.

      You asked me why the fight against tankies was so much more prevalent, and my answer was:

      The reason that people fight against tankies more than what you call fascists is because tankies are far more prevelant than what I and most other people on the platform consider fascism. That is to say, your definition of fascism entirely fails to encapsulate what most people mean when they use the word, and so you shouldn’t be surprised that they don’t complain about fascism as much as you do. It’s like if you went camping and then started screaming about how everyone’s suddenly saying that arson isn’t a big deal.

      And that’s my answer. My answer is that you’re wrong to call liberals fascists, and if you can’t get along with someone you disagree with to fight against someone who’s trying to kill you your ideology is going to fail. Tankies have historically betrayed Anarchists and allied with fascists to secure power, and liberals have historically been far more tolerant of differing views. I’d much rather be friends with an honest liberal than a tankie, because the liberal is far less likely to stab me in the back and put my friends in a goddamn camp.

      Edit: I’m sorry, I was arguing with someone else and didn’t realize it, my bad.

      Edit2: actually, I’m done with this conversation now. You’re not answering my question and demanding that I answer yours instead, so I’d rather be left alone.

        Sure, so tankies are everywhere on lemmy, and I’m probably one apparently, but no definition will be given…
