me when literally anyone else does;
Where ‘toxic’ is not being in lockstep with State department narrative.

Notably, tankies are more inclined to use the term ‘Zionist’ as a blanket label for Israel and its citizens.
That is likely because A. ‘Israeli’ was never anything more than a meme nationality, and B. some of us want to make it clear that the settlers’ heritage is of no concern to us. Our problem with their settlers has nothing to do with their heritage, but with their demonization of innocents and theft of said innocents’ land and other resources. The settlers could have been Polish, Romani, Serbian, or whatever, and it wouldn’t have mattered.
Our toxicity analysis also indicates that tankies are more likely than other far-left groups to post antisemitic content targeting Jews.
What would be an example of this? For all that I know, their software could interpret a statement like ‘Jews should kill Zionists’ as an ‘antisemitic’ remark based on the keywords alone. I’d be curious to have a conversation with them about this, but I really doubt that any of them is going to approach me to try.
I love how they use the term “revisionist” to refer to media from countries they don’t like. The whole article is also a beautiful horseshoe theory polished turd.
My bet is that this is their definition of revisionist
A revisionist use of the term revisionism? We are reaching levels of Hoxha that shouldn’t even be possible
Oh. This is the same article that we tore to shreds several months ago back when it first popped up on arxiv:
in a quick look through, while it is the same authors and the same conclusion, it looks like they are technicaly difrent papers, or atleast it has gone through significant revisions.
It looks like a summary (“Insight”) of the same paper:
This Insight is based on a study that seeks to address this gap, offering a comprehensive examination of a left-wing extremist community on Reddit known as ‘tankies’.
Ok fair enough that was my bad

Fascists in ivory towers getting all that money for funding which could have been used for medical or something acutally useful to society can’t even get their chud internet history site right, the_donald went to the website of the same name which is now that patriots site.
But if they helped society how cpuld they say communists are evil
Good point afterall fascism is a self-hating misanthropic mass death cult at its core , so said academics would follow suit
Global Network does not understand how fediverse works, the history of Lemmy, nor even the most blatant and obvious puns on one of the largest cities in the Soviet Union. Definitely people who know what they’re talking about!
I guarantee without a doubt that the author was wearing a diaper when they wrote that.
What’s wrong with wearing a diaper
I’m not saying anything is wrong with it. I just know they were wearing one.
…Urinary incontinence makes people libs?
Thank you for standing up for people with “unsightly” health issues. It’s so important. 🥺 You’re so cool. 🥰
He was implying that the person who wrote this is a baby.
Are you wearing a nappy?
I’m completely naked and fondliing my butthole thinking about you
Ahh the old nappy dappy
I know, probably, and I’m sure… I mean, I play into that stigma sometimes myself, in fact I was initially going to write that first comment as a parody of “Don’t Be a Sucker” – but I stopped for a moment and figured that I might as well take the initiative to point out the real stigma against adult diapers while I thought about it, because that stigma does affect a lot of people and that could very well include many of us some day.
The problem is of course that it’s one of those stigmas where nobody really wants to challenge it precisely because it is so normalized, so bringing it up at all feels weird, forced, mood-killing, or even “suspicious”.
To be fair, I am very certain that they didn’t mean adult diapers but rather very large baby diapers. In the context of these jokes, the people mocked are figurative babies, some weirdo conservatives
emulating babies, or adult fetishists emulating babies (ABDL, etc.). Adult incontinence issues are absolutely not a part of it.
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Hexbear diaper fetish jokes
Glad to see some bougie academic reaffirm the fact that our desire to see everyone treated like a human being is an extreme position.
People who said the computer would end up being one of the most useful scientific tools ever invented were (1) right, but (2) also didn’t anticipate how whole sectors of western academia would end up just browsing social media, collecting some screenshots, and presenting the whole together with some lazy-ass graph as “research.”
Anyone else remember the overwhelming sense of horror and despair when they realized reading their twitter feed had slowly become literally all the research and investigation journalists did anymore?
And now looking back that was so much better than what we’re left with these days.
Twittiance (n) the strange feeling of seeing your own shitpost tweet reappearing on your timeline six hours later but as a headline in a tweet from a newspaper.

“made them the dominate voice”
bro, tankies made lemmygrad for tankies
Sounds like the meme
It’s like, in the name lol
tankies literally made the entire fuckin platform lol
I mean, when you are the only voice, it also makes you the dominant voice. So it isn’t wrong to say we have the dominant voice here.

Imagine if one day they start talking about how tankies have a derogatory nickname for Wisconsinites
That was my take away: brand new thought terminating cliche dropped.
