  • Tankie is or isn’t derogatory depending on who’s saying it and what context. They call themselves tankies, but when I use it it’s always a slur.

    Tankies are authoritarian facists who have a thin veil of liberalism (they’ll consider this a slur, and that’s fine) wrapped around them. They genuinely believe Stalin, Putin, and China can do no wrong. They deny the concentration camps in China and think Ukraine are the bad guys.

    They claim to be communist, but are one hundred percent authoritarian in their beliefs.




  • I don’t understand why it needs to be electric bikes vs electric cars when it should be electric vehicles vs non-renewable fuels. Electric bikes have the same problems as electric cars, just on a slightly smaller scale. The rubber in their tires causes microplastics, they’re fueled by electricity which may come from non-clean sources. They have more down sides, like not as many people can use them at once, you’re not gonna see people in rural areas adopting them - or most places in the US - because of the distance required to get to a store or whatever.

    I think infighting here is stupid.
