    Tankies only call themselves as leftists.

    And some places, like Hexbear, aren’t genuinely anything at all except people seeking “the dunk” - the appearance of winning an argument regardless of the reality of it (which requires a rigidly controlled echo chamber).

    Now that I mention it, there are some striking parallels to lemmy.ml’s echo chamber effect as well…

    The “look what you made me do” philosophy of tankies only claims to be leftist or progressive, while in reality whatever Russia, China, or North Korea does (including genocide) is okay, while anything done by the Western world (including exist) is not.
