    Thank you for writing this.

    I have said as much many times but because I dont add ‘kill all the jews’, this is where the downvotes come,

    Hmmmm, not sure how our instances differ, but honestly I don't see why anyone would upvote something like 'kill all the jews'. I haven't seen this on lemmy at all. Seems to me like it's quite the opposite actually. I think a lot of the pushback you are getting is not because of that.

    Third, tankie, is a derrogatory term for someone who is a bit of an armchair leninist, plenty around here.

    Thanks. This is not what I think about when I hear 'tankie'. Your definition differs from that of many on the internet

    From memory you also asked about ‘Cooker’ yesterday. In australia, we refer to antivax, conspiracy nuts as ‘cookers’ (meaning their brain is cooked). Think of them like MAGA people in america if that helps. Thanks for explaining. I went to the urban dictionary when you said this word twice, and the definitions were too many to be able to pinpoint which one you meant. Please keep in mind that not everyone understands Australian-specific words. That's why I asked.

    Have a good night/day Hope you get some rest, the news can be overwhelming at times.
