"Please stop pointing out we're friends with fascists, it hurts our feefees. Don't you know that muh history means I'm very cool and honorable despite being an internet warrior".

You're one step removed from a nationalist. Except you're feeding your insecurity with a different flavour of a myth.

    You're not beating the allegations, you're treating this the same way a nationalist would. If you don't see the irrelevance of historical anecdotes here, well, I guess that explains why you're a tankie.

    Haz, Maupin, Dore and all their sphere are fascist. One guy literally went through being an "anti-imperialist" tankie to going to Tucker Carlson and talking about how wokeness is destroying West or something. Even in comments here I see tankies gladly buying and spreading Russian bullshit about Ukrainians being Nazis. Or how when I recently mentioned Russia making genocidal policies against trans people, a lot of people from a tankie sub began whataboutisming me about that. The fact that you totally ignored my larger point (tankie community producing fascists), which you apparently know about and "dunk all the time" on. The fact that you tried to deflect from that by bringing up 50-years-old historical anecdotes which are irrelevant to this particular context. It's in the same vein as when Israel tries to deflect from accusation of fascism and apartheid by bringing up antisemitism and Holocaust. Of course, what Israel does is much worse than being a breeding ground for online fascists, but the mechanism of deflection here is similar. Don't try to strawman me on this. No matter which honorable or victimized identity you use, this remains a deflection.

    You really need to start using real words for things. You are using "tankie" to describe everything under the sun right now and I literally have no idea what you're saying anymore.

    I've actually been extremely consistent with my usage of the term throughout this conversation. The people I'm talking to keep using it for everyone under the sun, that's true. From a member of a third-world communist party 50 years ago to themselves to Joseph Stalin. My focus is currently on the online English-speaking community/ies of the last 5-10 years who would fit the term

    english speaking online world

    Who else would we talk about in a Lemmy conversation about people on Lemmy supporting Russia? I've been telling you the Vietnamese don't matter in this context from the very beginning.

    This whole thing started when you said thst Tankies engage in facist apologia.

    I stated that was projection and gave histortical examples

    Once you saw that your Narrative was crumbling you started to save face by moving the goal post

    It all comes down to ego

    EDIT: I've made myself clear what I was talking about. The context was there, you were the first one to bring up the 20th century people. I could take some responsibility as the term is vague, but too many of you went for the dunks and posturing, making up shit about what I meant on the fly. The problem that truth here is relative and if enough of you decide that is what happened, whatever context I had in mind wouldn't matter. It's easy to be cynical about the whole interaction for both of us. Also good for the ego, as being wrong hurts and we all know it. I'm off to bed, will see if you add something else here later. It wasn't nice to talk to you, bye.
