You mean lemmigrad or whatever? The ones people on lemmy keep referring to as tankies

I left reddit to get away from all this political rivalry stuff and I guess it's unescapable. Sigh...

Tankie is not equal to fascist, tankie is equal to communist, but yeah one of the biggest techniques of christian fundamentalist fascism it's to make tankies look as fascists.

I'm just saying that's what I've seen them described as. I don't have an opinion on any of that and I've seen red fascist and tankie thrown around and honestly seeing people arguing about definitions and political ideology is making me want to stick to my subs. But that's on me to avoid stuff I feel is toxic to my mental wellbeing lol. I'm seeing myself fall into my old reddit habits and I don't like it.

My original comment it's pure sarcasm. There is no way for a trans fascist only instance cos true fascists hate trans people. So basically it's an ideological contradiction my original statement.

Ah the hallmark of human kind... we are a contradiction. I embrace it myself. I'm both for and against cheese.
