I’m not sorry, but if colors offend you, you might be really fragile and not as manly as you’d like to think
And if you use religion as an excuse to be a bigot remember your god made everyone and everything so hating colors kinda like saying you’re afraid of your own gods creations.
I love this comment so much 🙂
Where all the tankies at? Lets hear why this is totally cool and ok.
Clearly rainbows are part of the aggressive expansionism of NATO, and Russia is just responding to it
Alright… yeah, fair
Do you know what NATO nicknamed the defense plan during the cold war? The Rainbow Plan.
Lol you’re not joking. TIL
Hey listen, ever heard of ROYGBIV? Roy! That’s an Anglo name! It’s pure NATO infiltration!
lol if you ask for it the brigade of angry people will appear to explain how you’re a racist and a terrible person for not thinking like them
But first they will deflect by asking you to define what a tankie is.
I think lemmy.world defederated from hexbear, lemmygrad, and .ml
They did. I still see their users here and there though.They did. I still see their users here and there though. Well definitely hexbear and lemmygrad. I dunno if they defederated from ml.
I’m just waiting on all the Hexbear users who see no irony praising both LGBTQ+ and russia.
If they ever moved to russia, they would instantly be killed.
They would be sent to push up sunflowers in Avdiivka it takes a week for basic training and an hour or so to walk within Ukrainian artillery range. Not exactly instant, but close.
probably something like “America is mean too”
No no no, you don’t understand, Russia has (in the past) implemented my favorite economic system (please ignore all the people who died as political criminals), thus nothing they do is wrong. Rainbow earrings are just a small casualty, you gotta look big picture!
As if Russia is anything else than a dictatorship…

As if tankies aren’t constantly simping for both Russia and China on here.
A little history refresher on the origin of the term
The term “tankie” was originally used by dissident Marxist–Leninists to describe members of the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB) who followed the party line of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU). Specifically, it was used to distinguish party members who spoke out in defense of the Soviet use of tanks to crush the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 and the 1968 Prague Spring uprising, or who more broadly adhered to pro-Soviet positions.
So specifically being a tankie and supporting fascist bullshit go hand in hand and always have.
I must admit that I haven’t met any who do so can’t argue for or against this. I can understand that they might have done 20-30 years ago but I don’t see them “simpling for” any of them really. But neither Russia or China are kommunist regimes any longer. Maybe back when the term was coined, as you described in your quote but not any longer. Before it dead the community now it is the leader
Well I sure have. Especially before multiple servers defederated with Lemmygrad and Hexbear.
I like to imagine these accounts learned about tankies only 6 months ago when they joined Lemmy and were encountered by lots of leftists with wildly different international worldviews than them.
As a byproduct, it’s just their way of making sense of those differences they don’t otherwise understand.
Nobody that they’re describing would actually defend shit like this, but thats about as well as they understand those people.
“Russia arrests sky following rain shower for displaying ‘extremist’ rainbow.”
This joke of a country has turned into a massive gulag. Next thing they will arrest every man who doesn’t get hard enough seeing the exposed ankle of a woman.
They need conscripts
Texas taking notes
Can’t have their residents learning to read and write, they might get ideas.
Shithole country. Also, Putin is 100% smoking pole.
I can hear Poles being offended
They’re itching to declare Article 5
in dictatorship russia, earrings wear you!
Ah Russia you keep teaching me not to go to you or the deep south/midwest US. At least I won’t go to jail or get shot on the street in Canada or the EU for being LGBTQ+
Were these places on your list of places you wanted to go?
I live in Canada, I want to go to the NE US, the West Coast US, the EU and visit other areaa of Canada I haven’t seen yet
