Can someone point me at one of these "tankies"? I only ever see strawman posts about how stupid they are.

Post something controversial like "Stalin killed some of his own people" on .ml and you'll see plenty of them.

Either that or say NK is a dictatorship. When I first got on lemmy I got dogpiled by the hexies because I dared to say NK is a highly propagandized country (even gasp* moreso than the US). Still waiting for even a single one of those guys to move countries to live under the Kim regime, which apparently is the chillest, friendliest place on earth.

It's not a strawman, that's just how how far out of left field they are.

I mean there's a random meme and otherwise it's people arguing about propaganda. I'm waiting for the "Holodomor was based" people to show up.

I mean they exist, but it's like.. 3 people?

It's mostly bots, people get into argument with tankie bots and then make a whole fucking drama post about it.
