I see far FAR more people complaining about tankies and posts talking shit about tankies than I ever see posts or comments by tankies.
It’s honestly tiresome.
Edit: Turns out the instance I made this account on isn’t federated with the instance generating the posts y’all are complaining about. So I literally can’t seem em. Sorry for being an ass about it, I just didn’t know how it worked!
Is startreck.website federated with hexbear? When sh.itjust.workes got federated by hexbear a few days ago, about a third of all was pro tankie memes and discussion from hexbear. They mostly stayed to their communities, but sometimes I would come across comments on memes from .ml.
No a third of posts were people complaining they saw someone that might have been a tankie and demanding to live in a neo lib echochamber, I barely saw any actual tankie talking points
I’d estimate maybe 10% of posts were responding to the 35% of posts. But that’s just rough estimates. The tankie taking points were in the comments, the memes were often just saying America bad in different ways.
You must not have been reading a lot of comments. It was getting borderline absurd for 2 days. They sound alright by description, but all they did was brigade the comment sections spewing crap at anyone a cm off of their ideology
I spend all my time in the comments, there were annoying pigpooping GIFs and some trash comments but also some well reasoned and interesting comments from perspectives not often expressed in popular media. It’s not like the comment sections never had trash comments and nonsence before.

Oh, I guess if you count any criticism of America to automatically make somthing tankie then I guess maybe
