These "tankies" are conservative right-wing shitbag trolls trying to convince the normal people that supporting oppression and dictators is somehow "left-wing". Do not fall for their conservative bullshit.
Just like any other conservative, every word they utter is deception or manipulation. Tankies are conservative trolls through and through.
Now, I don't like violence. But even I can see that there's a difference between violence waged for imperialism and violence waged against imperialism.
And you can see the difference too. That's why Obama and Biden always say that their wars are being waged "for freedom". That's why you accept the violence of historical revolutions like the American Revolution.
The problem is, Obama and Biden are lying when they say their wars are for freedom. Their wars are for profit and control.
Still have yet to see more than a lone tankie on any thread
Plenty of people vaguely gesturing at lemmy.ml for some reason thiugh
That's the average lemmy.ml user
It's weird that Mao, Sun Yat Sen, and Chiang Kai Shek, were all part of the same pro-democracy party early on in China's civil war.
Mao won the war, Sun Yat Sen got out of there, Chiang Kai Shek was pushed out and became dictator of Taiwan.
China is weird.
Also weird is that one guy caused most of the deaths from famine in both the USSR and China: A conman named Trofim Lysenko, who was lying about having a new science of agriculture... He was bury seeds way further than they could handle then faking his results to keep his job.... Killed like, 30 million people who were ordered to take up his techniques.
There are far too many of these people on Lemmy~ Earth.
Too many
Why is taking the position that the alternative to Americas violent hegemony is more violence?
Has anyone ever thought that if you combined Stalin and Xi Jinping, it would probably look a lot like Kim Jong Un? Like, if you fed the two of them into a 'What would our baby look like' generator, I feel like it would be real close.
Da
Eat shit you cocksucking motherfucking tankies. Wash your skin, I'm pretty sure your stench reaches the ISS.
The only country actually running over people with tanks is Israel and does it with the unconditional support of the US
Liberals as always don’t see Arabs as people. Don’t you dare come asking for our votes.
In no small part because those types of people are the main developers and because, let's face it, they need a federated medium in case their disinformation campaigns in main social networks begin to be taken down (although given how much their owners like money and that governments seem to be doing shit all to abusive behind-the-scenes misuse of them, not currently likely at all).
Lemmy is worse for political discussion than Reddit has ever been. At least Reddit has had the numbers for people to call out extreme views on either side, but the number of absolute nutjobs on here that either call for the downfall of capitalism immediately, or to let right-wing thinking slide as a natural progression of politics today. They're the sort of people that post memes about murdering Nazis in the streets, but would cower at the sight of one - or those that would happily march if they weren't so fucking awkward.
Some of us just want to enjoy the memes.
It's so fortunate we have all these strawmen who don't/didn't give shit one about their people in practice/actions while calling themselves xyz-ist to point to to stop us from accidentally making societies that run their economy in service to and to improve the well-being of their people from the bottom up, otherwise we might not make our habitat a scorched hellscape for a couple million years to goose short term private profit for literally the worst humans alive today, most willing to hurt other humans to benefit themselves alone.
Can't have that. We don't deserve this world, and it will heal after it handles us, though not on a time scale our sociopathic monkey brains can appreciate.
Keep pumping that toxic carbon shit into the air to make fertility decimating microplastics, we have a train to catch so evolution can go back to the drawing board.
