You either go to a lot of effort in order to misinterpret what’s on that page or you live in a certain country with a certain “great firewall” that has Wikipedia blocked. Which is it?
I searched it out myself. Tankie by Wikipedia’s definition isn’t the same definition used by people nowadays. It’s a derogatory. Similar to how the right redefined “woke”.
And I’m most certainly not conservative. Tankies in the wiki sense and tankies in the Lemmy sense are not the same. Both are dumb as shit, but different.
Tankies on Lemmy are a lot closer to less organized and, somehow, even dumber than /r/theDonald.
Imagine if you will a Trump rally run by junior high school kids. That’s Lemmy tankies
Edit: also, I’m not the one who replied to you with the wiki link
I didn’t think you were. I was just responding. The point is, I looked it up- and from what I’m seeing- it’s basically a derogatory used to describe anyone that doesn’t support capitalism.
So, basically- according to conservatives, anyone that doesn’t worship capitalism. Got it.
Learned something new.

The whole thing is fucking dumb and polarizing.
Hah, no. Definitely not.

I’m not sure why you can’t seem to understand this. You’ll see. Spend a little bit longer here on Lemmy, and you’ll see soon enough.
