Lemmy.world really can be maddening sometimes. It seems like any vaguely political post develops some intense strawman "tankie" action. I've pointed it out a few times and it doesn't go well.

The tankies that they keep complaining about are just your traditional Marxist-Leninists saying Marxist-Leninist things.

I think some Lemmy users like the image of being communist without actually subscribing to orthodox communist viewpoints. Just accept that you're not one, there's no shame in it.

Nah. There are cases where it stops being about upholding their values and more cheering on one side over another even if what they support is against their values.
