Tankies are adult-childs.
Help a brother out, what’s a tankie?
Authoritarian Communists / Stalinists. Named so because they still supported the USSR even in things like sending in tanks to Hungary and Czech Republic to crush rebelliomns there in the 50s and 60s.
Can you link to the posts as well rather than just a screenshot? I want some mindless reading while I eat popcorn.
Nah sorry pal, can’t link threads. :c
😭😢 you going to make a community for the other instance once they are defederated? I really like reading deranged takes on stuff.
On EH? Maybe.
But EH is light compared to the neo-nazi instance. You can’t even access the neo-nazi instance through the others
Yeah I guess they don’t really have the user base or real discussions. Out of curiosity have you come across q people in the fedverse? They usually had some good deranged takes on stuff.
Yeah, in the neo-nazi instance
Nevermind
I thought tankies likes dictators? This just sounds like a know-it-all a******.
I could easily still not understand what that word means though.
What word?
Tankie
On the sidebar! Tankies are basically Stalinists and Red Fascists, red meaning authoritarian communists.
Fuck tankies. I don’t think this thread makes Aiden look good as well… But they’re not wrong either? Who thinks they know everything? Like, if you hadn’t said they were a tankie I wouldn’t know what was wrong with the conversation.
Context: I’m autistic, am I missing social cues or expectations or something?
No one said they knew everything. The aunt said she is not interested in learning additional stuff. That she thinks she got life covered with what she got.
It’s not social clues or expectations you’re missing. It’s reading comprehension
“I don’t need to learn anything else in this world.” has the same meaning as “I know everything” imo. Logically, that tracks. If you don’t need to learn anything else, it’s because you know everything. “want” and “need” create two very different sentences. If she had said “I don’t want to learn anything else,” then fine, whatever, you do you.
That was the process of reading comprehension. If the reader is missing context, and/or is unable to integrate the reading to life experience that’s a different issue; that had nothing to do with reading comprehension.
I guess I was taking it too literally, based on your response.
I read it the same way.
It’s really a bad choice of words for a written conversation. Orally the tone applied to “need” would probably help. Also the interlocutors are familiar to each other and the conversation is probably charged with emotions.
Either way not “needing” or “wanting” to learn anything else is arrogant
For someone who has to proclaim to the world that they’re autistic, you seem awfully defensive on your reading comprehension. Didn’t mean to strike a nerve.
Saying you don’t need to learn anything else. Is not the same as “I know everything”. She knows she doesn’t know everything. And that’s fine. She doesn’t NEED to. I don’t NEED to learn anything more about bike repairs. I know enough. Does that mean I know everything? No. Just that I’m content with what I know, and i get by just fine.
Go google the six skills of reading comprehension. You don’t know what you’re talking about and I’m not going to sit here to do the work for you when you’re not ready to listen. None of those skills have anything to do with taking something too literally, you’re being ableist.
You were literally unable to correctly comprehend what you read in the post. But okay, It’s not your reading comprehension. It’s your “autism”. If blaming that for not understanding rather than something else makes you feel better. Go ahead.
It’s probably likely they’ve been pestering their aunt nonstop about their tankie ideology.
Lol. Immediately takes it as an insult. He’s just pissed that she shut him down right away. “Read this massive book on political theory!” “Nah nephew” “Oh! Am I think then or are you god?!”
They published it themselves. So they likely believe this snippet of dialogue makes them look good, which it doesn’t.
I’d love to see the rest of the chain
I love how they edited one message, but the the glaring typo in the very next one.
