I keep hearing the term in political discourse, and rather than googling it, I’m asking the people who know better than Google.

Thank you for the reasonable reply that didn’t attack my character for asking. Apparently, that’s too much to ask of some people.
Just be warned, Cowbee is very much misrepresenting things here.
I urge you to read the thread he linked, and not take his summary seriously.
As I explained in my reply to you, I misrepresented nothing. Lemmy.world admins banned Hexbear because of ideological disagreements they deemed unacceptable before even federating. Hexbear never said they were going to “wage a propaganda war,” they just suggested that if their users were to discuss politics in federated threads that they try to be more professional about it.
Me: posts direct quotes about waging a propaganda war
You: They never said they were going to wage a propaganda war.
Why are you just straight up lying?
I’m not lying, though. You misrepresented the post, and I elaborated directly to you. They told users not to engage in rowdy behavior and instead insisted on professionalism.
“No u”
Buddy – I quoted it. Stop lying.
You misrepresented it, and me, as I already explained in my other reply.
No worries! A lot of people get emotionally invested in drama, which is why tons of the definitions you’ve been given for “tankie” are people that don’t actually exist. It’s like saying “communist but boogieman.” This creates the response from communists defending ourselves from slander, which is why this became a mess. Kinda like if you went into a random room and asked people what “woke” meant.
Lemmy has few conservatives (outside of instances like sh.itjust.works), so the biggest ideological conflict is communist vs liberal, with anarchists kinda doing their own thing and aligning more or less with the former or the latter.
