Tankie triad represent
The other 2 are explicitly communist but I'd never assume a lemmy.ml user is a tankie.
People who chose the thing run by the people who make the thing gang rise up

This post is complaining about disinformation being censored, which is good. Every website should censor disinformation regardless of source.
What disinformation?
The imgur album linked in the comment is almost 100% disinformation once it starts describing the alleged atrocities.
Is the disinformation that China does acknowledge the massacre?
The first removed comment shown in the post is someone falsely claiming that China has "constant efforts to pretend it didn't happen"
The linked imgur album is also full of outright disinformation about the incident.
art thou trollingeth, knave?
No, they're a tankie who wants to pretend they're not
Should read more about your instance admin and consider changing instances. I know I won't support that asshole
"that asshole" has been working below minimum wage, one unexpected financial burden away from homelessness, for the last four years to bring you Lemmy for free
What I'm saying is even if you disagree with his views, on the things that actually impact you, he's been a great positive in your life
Just because someone does a selfless act, does not mean that they have carte blanche to spout dangerous misinformation and propaganda
What Dessalines spouts is by and large uncomfortable truths that are paved over by Western government misinformation and propaganda, your reaction is that of someone clinging to the lies they were raised with rather than accepting the truth.
I'll be sure to tell the families of those who died in Tiananmen Square that that was all just "western government misinformation"
find me a post/comment where Dessalines denies that Tiananmen Square ever happened
https://github.com/dessalines/essays/blob/main/socialism_faq.md#what-about-the-tiananmen-square-massacre
is saying that the story was largly sensationalized with proof saying it never happened?
It denies that a massacre happened in Tiananmen square.
but claims are mostly about never acknowledging that anything happened.
The claim from """tankies""" is mostly that no massacre happened in the square, but that deaths happened outside of it in clashes between armed protesters and the PLA. Exactly as Dessalines FAQ.
Yes. I do think that it is correct.

Here you go. FYI his reddit name was parentis_shotgun
Do you have reading comprehension issues? He doesn't deny it happened in that comment, he calls it a US-backed color revolution and says that the PRC was right to put it down.
Calling the entire protest a color revolution is a matter of opinion, but it is an undeniable fact that many of the most high-profile protest leaders were US-backed.
Dessalines, right? I happen upon a lot of his Github issue threads on libraries that i use, which i think is interesting when i recognize the account. He seems normal there.
Other than that, looking at his Lemmy profile, it seems he gets into a lot of political arguments on subjects that i don't know much about - i can't tell if he's unjustly hateful towards any group. I have heard he bans people a lot over these disagreements, which isn't cool so i think your sentiment is fair.
Currently my only issue with .ml is the profanity filter but i don't know anything about the other instances either. I imagine this conversation has been had a lot already but if i'm on Lemmy either way, what's the difference in terms of support? If he's a dick, i'd probably rather just switch to Kbin or PieFed
!meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works if you want to learn more about their (and the rest of the Tankie Triad's) shenanigans. Though you'll need to view it through another instance, because .ml blocks it to prevent their own users from seeing it. Talk about censorship LMAO
I got so many tanks man
Hey, how are you here? Please tell davel to stop screwing with my site ban and fix it.
I don't want to lose my achievement :(
