Like, my God, how fucking messed up do you have to be to believe that about an entire country of people, many of which committed only the crime of being born there? Tankie apologia for Hamas is every bit as vile as the hardline ethnonationalists in Israel.
I think you might be confusing "settlers" (people who decided to live in a place) with "settlers" (people who decided to live in a place where other people used to live before the government rolled in with bulldozers, destroyed their homes, and displaced them).
That didn't happen.
And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
And if it was, that's not a big deal.
And if it is, that's not my fault.
And if it was, I didn't mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it.
What is this weird obsession with "tankies" that...basically nobody has ever fucking heard of anyhow? I only just recently saw this shit on lemmy and there's a lot of weirdo weebs who keep calling everyone a tankie for the most random shit. Are you guys okay?
My guy, tankies infest this site. Can't hardly go a post without a few coming out and saying "War Crimes Good, Actually" or "Ukronazis are the REAL villains here". You're on Lemmyworld, which is defederated with Hexbear, the biggest offender on the Fediverse, so you quite literally don't see them.
My dude, they are all over the place on the fediverse. You not knowing about them means you've been sheltered so far. They are by and far the worst ones for posting nasty things on here and it's a very good bet that if you see someone from lemmygrad they are most likely a tankie. Look it up if you don't know what it is.
Unfortunately, moderators and administrators on some places do, and it seems nobody does anything about it. I can't stop hearing "the fediverse is free of fascists", but it's only free of half of them, who are those on the far right.
