That's ok, forget the red triangle. That's fine. I'm saying that you're loudly voicing your opposition to "tankies" but if you despise all genocidal regimes you are a tankie yourself.

    Did you read my comments above? I explained the reasoning. If you're anti-zionist you're a "tankie" to most anticommunists, they don't care that you consider yourself different to the other kinds of leftists. At the end of the day we'll be sent to the same camp.

    If you subscribe to a more specific definition of "tankie" it's probably better to just say what you mean explicitly.

    Can we slow down? I don't really get what you disagree with me about.

    No, you got it backwards. I'm saying that your positions make you a tankie because you oppose genocide. I'm praising you!

    There was a genocide in Tiananmen Square?

    As a Jew, I feel so safe for my future know that genocide as a term has been diminished to "When the government kills people".

    Say, on a completely unrelated note, did you know that 23% of American adults 18-39 think the Shoah was fabricated or exaggerated?

    Also, I guess genocide also includes people resisting genocide, apparently.

    I feel like the volume of nonsense that user spewed in this thread really overshadowed the fact that he called the Palestinian resistance genocidal lmao.

    Okay, you said "tankies are defined by their defense of genocide" but then say that there was a massacre in Tiananmen Square.

    For one, that's false. No massacre has ever taken place in Tiananmen Square, and if you could find me a source that says otherwise I'd welcome it.

    But also, massacre is not the same as genocide. There must be something else you're talking about.
