I experience the opposite. Whenever I criticise US government, I get attacked by hordes of cringy Americans.

I must say I had a pleasant conversation on workers’ rights in the US recently on c/technology (lemmy.world). By pleasant I mean "not being insulted because I live in France and workers do have rights so I’m a red commie" pleasant.

You shat on homeless people and got rightfully called out for it. Take the L instead of crying about tankies

[–] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 85 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (35 children)

You mean your bullshit screed hating on public rail and showing your anti-homeless brainworms where you literally implied that "people don't hate them enough"?

Also "boo hoo the 'tankies' (whatever that even means to you libs anymore) bullied me for supporting violence against some of the most vulnerable people in the imperial core"

lmao You have been complaining about this for FIVE DAYS holy shit.

it looks like the only comments of yours that were removed were for making inflammatory comments about homeless people on public transport in a place you don't live.

Let's do a little experiment:

  • Tankies are horrible
  • Nazi's are horrible
  • The US is horrible
  • Russia is horrible
  • China is horrible
[–] AntiOutsideAktion@hexbear.net 61 points 1 year ago (20 children)

See what I'm going to do is I'm going to make the nazis look equally bad to all these other things. That way the nazi atrocities will look less problematic and I get to smear my enemies with a tainted term.

No I'm not a nazi, why do you ask?

Every time one of you uses the phrase "Banned for being slightly critical", it always turns out you were saying some of the most digusting shit imaginable. It's such a tell, it's like when you say "I was ostracized just for having a different political opinion!"

What's the different opinion?

Why are the libs so hung up on criticizing socialists? If you don't like this forum then go back to reddit.

I thought tankies were adult fans of Thomas the Tank Engine.

By being 'slightly critical' you do mean complaining about homeless people, right?

In the words of Knuckles the Echidna: "The communists are censoring you? Damn, I wish it worked. Shut the fuck up."

Tankie is just a slur for people who aren’t ideological and financially compromised by the United Treats of America.
