Tankies with Ukrainians: They did it to themselves

[–] PugJesus@kbin.social 19 points 1 year ago

I was going to ask "Are the tankies talking about the current war, or the Holodomor?", but then I realized the answer to both is the same.

Works well with Tiananmen Square massacre deniers.

“Absolutely nothing happened that day! The protests were orchestrated by CIA, and whatever happened to the protestors was completely justified! But most importantly, nothing happened!”

tankies are fascists with leftist aesthetics

Swastikas or hammers and sickles, they're two sides of the same shitty authoritarian coin.

[–] trashgirlfriend@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I wouldn't say all hammer and sickles are, there's still some people who are sane and use the symbol, but it has been pretty much coopted by the crazy fascist types..

[–] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I'm saying so about the tankies specifically.

[–] Blackmist 9 points 1 year ago

That didn't happen.

And if it did, it wasn't that bad.

And if it was, that's not a big deal.

And if it is, that's not my fault.

And if it was, I didn't mean it.

And if I did, you deserved it.

Genocide denialists are so inconsiderate. I'm sitting over here wanting to die, and they're busy justifying killing people who want to live? smh, these guys are real jerks.

[–] yoppa@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Lol so funny. Thanks OP

That shows they're not trying to express their feelings, they're just trying to manipulate you.

I still say a lot of them are getting paid to troll on here.

starts explaining how they're not really nazis

[–] RIP_Cheems@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I better not get banned for this, but this is exactly why we need to kill them. They have all the rage and numbers to act on their whim, and they us that power to promote nazism.

[–] PugJesus@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

We need to be prepared to kill them in self-defense. I don't believe in outright killing someone just for their beliefs, no matter how vile. Certainly keep a close eye on them, exact the full penalties of law on them, but killing is open warfare, and that's not a bell that can be un-rung. You have to be damn certain that's the path you wanna walk, and it's rarely a good choice, even when it's the best choice available.

it didnt happen, but it should have, and its ((theyre)) fault for pretending it happened.
