He's a Cuman with a mask; Gambargin draws a lot of medieval art and the "Smiling Cuman" shows up as a regular.

Sorry that acknowledging genocide is "reactionary garbage" to you. Go back and lick boots with your fellow fascists on .ml.

Life hurts, and sometimes all you can do is move forward.

The artist (Gambargin) has a lot of personal struggles and posts things like this that are a mix between sad and motivational.

You have to keep going, in the end.

Ban evasion and bleating out a "The people are tired of experts!" line on history isn't the gotcha you think it is. Sorry that you think being misinformed is equivalent to being educated on a subject. I hope you recover from being a MAGA chud in a different color of sportswear.

Silly me. I thought you were a moron or a tankie. Turns out, you're just a troll.

They say they don’t, but the purportedly uncritical subscription to Stalinism and Maoism will often be deduced from something like, Land Back or “voting reform isn’t enough.”

Saying that you hope someone aligns with Stalin, Kim Jong Un, and Xi Jingping when they say that they're a leftist is, apparently, also not a tankie opinion according to you. How curious. Almost sounds like your tongue is latched to a boot.

I’m afraid it’s tough to meet this seriously if I don’t even know what “the biggest comm” on fediverse is meant to be, from here that’s a screenshot of a post that is apparently a lib making fun of libs without knowing what a lib is.

Considering what's said below this, this is immensely ironic.

The “tankieness” of course being the inclusion of genocidal authoritarian figures alongside thinkers and activists, not any indication of authentic substance beyond this political-compass-level meme.

"Hitler was only ONE of my listed 'great thinkers whom I admire'! I'm not really a Nazi!"

Also, called it:

Next I predict “Kim Jong Un isn’t really a tankie, shitlib!”

Which, reading this and then seeing your profile, the story is becoming much much clearer. I don’t interact with communities where men pretend at politics all that much (or in earnest)

... if you don't interact in political communities, why the fuck would you think you'd have any idea of how prevalent tankies are or are not here?

It's like hearing someone complain about shit being smeared in the men's room, you butting in to say you have no idea what they're talking about and how YOU'VE never seen shit in the men's room, and then saying you never use public bathrooms anyway.

Utter fuckwit.

My power seems to be that I don’t seek out “tankies,” which is to say liberal men who don’t know what liberalism or “leftism” is beyond the recursive loop of their validation communities.

That you think identifying one's political allies as fucking Stalin and Kim Jong Un is 'liberal' is beyond insane.

It's like, fuck, I completely sympathize with the idea that voting won't bring the necessary reforms in our current system. I may not be at that level of despair just yet, but I get it, there's nothing in principle wrong with rejecting electoralism as a solution.

But "Harm reduction isn't important" is utterly insane.

If you think canvassing is a waste of time, if you think your polling place is going to be flooded with bullshit and you have a family to take care of, if you aren't going to even bother with donating to a DemSoc candidate, that's all legitimate. But if you (generic you, not you personally) live in a place where voting is easy and you aren't doing the bare minimum of ten fucking minutes of your time for harm reduction; or worse, are actively discouraging harm reduction of that sort?

Get fucked. The people who shit on harm reduction are more interested in being the purest coprophage around rather than the actual lives of marginalized demographics

Every day I learn about a new thing about myself. Today, it is my uncanny power to part unavoidable tankies like the Red Sea as I pass through unawares. Strange that I should see this term alienated from them so often then.

Here, let me help - most recent fucking post of one of the largest comms on the Fediverse:

Next I predict "Kim Jong Un isn't really a tankie, shitlib!"

“Even back in 2023,” the ancient times of three years ago

"Even back when tankies were even more common outside of their circlejerks, people still insisted on playing dipshit bootlicking games to deny their presence"

I remember hearing this even back in 2023, when it was impossible to avoid tankies playing fucking Holodomor denial and Uyghur Genocide denial. That was back when Hexbear was still more 'active' outside of their circlejerk. So you'll have to forgive me for seeing tankie shite almost every day, and that without even stepping foot into ANY .ml comm, and thinking that maybe complaining about people bootlicking for genocide and capitalist oligarchy because it has a thin coat of red paint is warranted.

Sadly, no. Very often, Khrushchev is too much of a 'revisionist' for them. Overwhelmingly, tankies are Stalinists and Maoists, or people willing to simp for Stalinism and Maoism.

and the second the war was over churchill gave his iron curtain speech and deemed russia an enemy. and this was mainly based on the fact that russia had decided not to honour the debts accrued by the tsar to the west, post revolution. and so the west isolated russia through sanctions and funded the white army counter revolution in russia for years afterwards. which obviously did not help the famine situation, and just because it doesnt put a neat little bow on why these things happened, it doesnt mean we should ignore it. history is history. theres obviously a lot more minutia to this situation.

That's not even close to true. Churchill was a lifelong anti-Communist, but the mood after WW2 was initially hopeful about reconciliation with the Sovs; the Iron Curtain speech was delivered in the context of the USSR making territorial demands and occupying countries that had agreed to be liberated, in addition to refusing to hold the democratic elections it agreed to in non-Soviet Eastern European countries. The issue of the Russian Empire's debts was not even on the negotiating table; the Sovet Union refused to honor debts it itself had taken out during WW2; despite this, 'sanctions' were not levied on the Soviet Union after WW2, and for that matter, unconditional aid was offered under the Marshall Plan, which the USSR refused, and mandated all Warsaw Pact countries refuse. The White Army was only active in the Russian Civil War which ended ~25 years years before. The wartime famine under Lenin in 1921 could be argued to be due to bad circumstances, but the 1933 famine under Stalin was nothing less than grotesque mismanagement, coupled with targeted retribution against Ukraine for 'resisting' Stalin's 'glorious' vision for the USSR.

Some people make alts whenever they complain about tankies because of the tendency of tankies to send abuse their way.

Me, I just block and ban. But I understand not everyone wants the stress of randos in their inbox.

but yeah the amount of complaining about “tankies” is like 10x the amount of actual “tankie” content I see

Any time .ml users get wind of a thread they can bootlick in, they tend to swarm it. Hell, here's one from a user in this very comment section just a few days ago, on a major comm:

And I mean, fuck, man, .ml's memes comm, which is still one of the larger comms on the Fediverse, hardly goes a day without boot-throating tankie shite.
