I'm not on this instance but I can't recommend distancing yourself from them enough. It was the first instance of lemmy I joined and I left quick bc even as a liberal(at the time) I found it uncomfortably reactionary.
NonCredibleDefense is basically a community for NATO and US military dickriding.
I believe it’s someone who is supportive of the soviet army’s role in the response to the Hungarian Revolution of 1956.
A tankie is someone’s claims to be left who is supportive of authoritarianism.
So then someone who supports Kamala Harris, a former prosecutor of the state who upholds unjust laws and current Vice President who supports US military interventionism is an authoritarian in my view
Supporting politicians and states is a bannable offence on this instance. This exercise is not because I support Stalin. I do not want to host and retransmit American state propaganda with this instance thru federation.
I like the vegan content but when I see comments advocating for violence towards America, I just cant enjoy the instance in the same way, thats not to say I'm against valid criticisms of american imperialism.
Also the Ukraine comm. It's an extremely neolib instance.
They were among general fasc vibes explicitly boosting the telegram of the violent neonazi sternenkoSorry got this one confused with the even more fasc sopuli.xyzI forgot about this one. I blocked it a long time ago because videos of people dying and cheering for people to get killed was not something I wanted to see.
There are some coms I like but also a lot of annoying coms and users. I generally don't browse all though so low impact either way for me.
I'm against defederation. As we must be open to more perspectives. I don't want this server to only be open to tankies who want Donald Trump to win which will spell more doom for Palestine and Ukraine.
Who cares who wins the American election? Both parties in the United States are fascists who will spell doom for Palestine. The United States is fascist country, all of its politicians are pure evil and their elections are fake.
What even is a tankie? Does anyone have a definition of this?
Edit: To be clear I don't want Donald Trump to "win" but that is like saying I don't want Triple H to win Wrestlemania, it is pre-scripted nonsense. Both Donald Trump and Kamala Harris should be in prison.
Donald Trump's support for Israel is far more than that of Kamala Harris'. That's the issue with first-past-the-post in that people have to choose a lesser evil in the election and the citizen's united ruling has allowed super PACS such as AIPAC to spend millions in support of zionist candidates.
I very strongly disagree with your take here. There is no lesser evil in the United States. Kamala is not less evil than Donald Trump, she and her policies will be exactly equivalent to his. The President of the USA is not a king and their permanent state is continuous. The people in the US have no choice, their elections are fake.
Supporting politicians is already against the rules of this instance.
Fuck off with your accusations. Are you vegan or a member of this community?
I am not American.
You don't agree with what I think so you are calling me disabled, this is an accusation and not welcome. You are implying that I am deficient in my views and they are not valid. I didn't denigrate your liberal viewpoints as disabled or one dimensional. I think your view is straight up bullshit that one party wants to roll away rights and the other doesn't. Both parties function to maintain the system and each other and are not meaningfully different, especially from the outside. To be clear, I don't think the Americans really have a choice and are victims of this system as well.
The democrats are the ones who chose Trump in their pied piper strategy after all. They also fund extreme right wing candidates there because this is how they manufacture consent for their ever rightward shift. In Obama's own words he has the policies Reagan Republican.
Are you vegan? This is a vegan community for vegans. I am looking for my communities feed back, not some random carnist's opinion.
The Nation - Sophia Rosenfeld - Popular Rule Has the United States ever been a democracy?

Daniel Lazare - The Frozen Republic : How the Constitution Is Paralyzing Democracy - This is an extremely influential book for me and was a big reason for immigration.

When browsing comms from the “tankie” instances only a handful of times have I seen people express a sincere interest in voting for Trump, and everytime they received pushback.
Active participation in genocide is a red line most on the left are unwilling to cross. Refusal to vote for a party performing a genocide is not advocating for Trump.
I do not understand why people are coming into a discussion on the spread of pro-US propaganda on an anarchist, anti-imperialist space to discuss “tankies” as if it has any relevance to the topic.

Because there's a spectre haunting Lemmy. (Don't laugh!)
