Not quite what it refers to now, but I’m sure you’ll inform us that you know better.

Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to communists who express support for one-party communist regimes that are associated with Marxism–Leninism, whether contemporary or historical.

Thank you for demonstrating my point.

It’s very funny to me that you keep bringing up Gaza like it’s some counterpoint to what I’m saying, when all you’re doing is pointing out another bloodthirsty regime’s crimes. Do you think that Israel’s government being evil is somehow a rebuttal to China’s government being evil?

There is No War in Ba Sing Se!

What’s saddest about this is that it took me literally 3 minutes to find images of tanks in Tiananmen running over student barricades, and blood streaks left on the ground afterwards, and bodies on the ground, but you don’t actually care at all, you’ll just cover your ears and push your narrative. You’re no better than people downplaying what Israel and America do, but you are so wrapped up in the righteousness of your ML rhetoric that you’ll just deny it and make up excuses for your side doing the same stuff.

Wow, it’s absolutely hilarious that you’re trying to reclaim that term. Good luck! xD

According to who?

According to Tibetans.

Regardless, this is the same Tibetan government that…

Yawn. Nothing but whataboutism from you, huh? “Who cares if China did multiple genocides and illegal annexations and disappears people who protest the government, the Tibetan government is also bad, so China should be allowed to ethnic cleanse them!”

No government is good, but other humans being bad isn’t an excuse to go and be bad as well. And let’s not pretend that China gives a crap about anything except expansion of their resources and influence. You’re not impressing anyone by defending a genocidal regime, it just comes off as being incapable of actually critically assessing your own side. You’re no different than the MAGA crowd who think America can do no wrong.

I love how you Tankies just assume everyone but you is pro-US or something.

Yeah, absolutely; the Chinese government is evil just like Israel and the US’s governments. Glad we agree that they’re all imperialist genociders! Good talk!

Okay, let’s use the name that the legitimate government of Tibet, the Central Tibetan Administration, endorses.

Oh look, it’s “Tibet”.

I think Israel is doing that just fine themselves by dropping bombs around the children and killing their families.

And it’s being used to try to distance themselves from the long standing international opposition to their illegal occupation and annexation of Tibet, and the genocide done to achieve it.

Tankies hate this one simple truth…

Guess I must be the Tiananmen Guy, because I seem to bring all the Tankies to the yard.

Renaming the place you’ve colonized is a standard settler-colonialist step in the erasure of the indigenous population. Just China being China.

Never forgive, and never forget.

This is going to be one of those moments that creates a generational shift.

Boomers are never going to turn on Israel en masse, but when Millennials and Zoomers are in control, you can bet that Israel ain’t gonna be on many peoples’ list of allies.
