I just realised, I can’t post anything on lemmy.ml

So, I checked https://lemmy.ml/modlog, there’s a new moderator.

All posts and comments talking about China, Jinping, Russia, and Putin have been deleted and users banned

    it’s probably because most instances have defederated with ‘tankie’ instances like lemmygrad or hexbear, so all you really see is ragebait screenshots of tankies saying stupid things. although most of these posts seem to be coming from one user

        Yes, like they say, because the tankie posts are blocked.

        Is it really that difficult to understand?

          The why is there so much anti-tankie propaganda? Like so much more than antifascist propaganda?

            Because liberals sleep in the same bed as fascists and both are ready to fight socialism tooth and nail?

            Because like all true “moderates/liberals” they love attacking the left.

            Anything that threatens the western hegemony and imperialism must be destroyed because it threatens the comfortable life that the 1st world gets though neo-colonialism which is institutional racism at a international level.

            Tankies want to make the first world share their treats with the “unwashed masses” of the third world and pay them a fair rate for their resources and labor.

            “The electable left” (aka liberals, democratic voters, etc) are actually crypto-fascists. Fascism doesn’t attack the liberals way of life. It isn’t a serious threat to their treats so they don’t rail against it.

            Because Amerika’s military budget is as ballooned as it is specifcally to keep their neocolonies (and those they wish they could neocolonize) from revolting and taking up socialist mantles. We wouldn’t still be blockading and committing genocide as a result in Cuba otherwise. Liberals don’t like hearing their malfeasance; so they at least try to stomp it out everywhere it can be found-- all the anti-‘tankie’ propaganda you find is evidence of that.

            Because people aren’t familiar with them and need to be made aware of what they really are. Too many people don’t see the damage these trolls cause because they get blocked and only see the complaints and I’m realizing that defederation has worked in their favor. If anyone actually read the shit they post they would realize they are conservatives trying to make the left look like psychopaths. They appropriate LGBT and other social justice causes in order to attempt to infiltrate the left and rot it from within. Also, they use liberal as a slur.

            Tankies and fascists are just as bad. What are you trying to suggest?

              I’m not suggesting anything. I’m pointing out a bias: eventhough fascism is rampant in the west, to the point there was a coop attempt in the US a few years ago. Yet people on lemmy are very hard fighting tankies where ever they can find them, even baiting with anti-tankie memes on a very regular basis.

              Tankies are not treated like fascists. There is a war waged against them on lemmy eventhough tankies don’t exist in the west.

              Tankies don’t exist in the west because, as it was said, tankies and fascists are the same kind of extremists, but in the west we have fascists already. You don’t have both tankies and fascists in the same place.

              So here we are, with western people on the hunt against tankies. To me they are fascists waging a cultural war on social media.
