Luxembourg is landlocked, it's not their fault.

"Tankie" is a generalist term, the same as "leftist" and whatnot. The goal of terms like these is to put people into camps that are divided and label them as anything other than "human" because it's a lot easier to say "100 dead tankies" than it is to say "100 dead humans"
My point is that terms like this detract from communication because they obfuscate the meaning behind what is being said. Using these terms, even if it is to fight against propaganda, makes it easier to continue using other terms that are similar in nature. This encourages people to use less people-centric language, which dehumanizes those around them and makes them easier targets. Best to just avoid using them at all IMO

Hello from lemmy.today!

It looks like the major city names (and maybe others) are registered by the government and allow people to register subdomains.

Hello I live in the little gap there that is Belgium

La cantidad de latinos es muy baja u.u

And tankies actually think China is communist.

No... nobody is eating that except for the sweeds

Actually the goal of terms like that is efficiency. We could say "supporter of aggressively implemented authoritarian communism" if we wanted, but tankie is shorter.
Helps if you have the background to understand the specifics of what different "isms" support and thus what they disagree on that leads them into genuinely fighting each other. A fascist, a lib and a tankie really do have very core disagreements that cannot be realistically compromised on. At the most basic, a fascist wants a unified society with a strict hierarchy, the tankie wants a unified society with no hierarchy, the lib doesn't want any kind of unified society. If any one of these people gets their way, the other two do not, which leads to conflict.
Left/right are more economic arguments with some wiggle room due to being more or less a spectrum, but also tend to feature significant real world disagreements.
Anyways, I do agree that it's important to have conversations about these underlying details, but when you're talking amongst other people who know the background already, some shorthand terms are going to start appearing. Since these are overarching governance philosophies that any person can adopt or discard at will, they're also a little different from more inherent divisions, like ethnicity for instance. Being a tankie, lib or fascist is a choice, where being Arabic or gay or something is not.

Thanks. Very interesting, I would think that is a nightmare for phishing and similar threats, but maybe they have good monitoring or oversight.

You have to apply for a trademark to use the name.ua domain.

In America we just call that French Germany

Howdy boss

This seems to be missing Mali, the home of
.ml. It's in West Africa and since the French soldiers left it's been an authoritarian client state of Russia. Very appropriate. -
Yeap, I'm aware of the Denmark and Greenland situation but I was curious if Greenland had their own instance

My instance is Slovenian, you can add it to the list

Actually in Spain there are a Catalan and a Basque instances. Go represent this on your map
