Wanting to execute people on TV seems like something normal people aren’t calling for. Maybe I’m missing something. How is this not Tankie?
All tankies are abnormal and extreme, but not all abnormal or extreme positions are tankie. Unless this relates somehow to the usual tankie obsessions of "This Right-Wing Behavior Is Left Praxis, Actually", "West Bad Always", "You MUST Support Fascist States Against Imperialism(TM)", etc, I don't think it belongs here.
Does this hollow posturing actually impress Americans? I doubt it.
Unfortunately, a large number of Americans are fucking stupid.
Executing Israeli politicians is extreme and probably correct to be removed, but I fail to see how it relates to tankies.
What's tankie about this?
Is there anything to suggest the user is a Marxist, much less a tankie? They just seem new to the Fediverse.
I’m a progressive socialist, so do I fit that category? I’m genuinely in the dark about it
No. In fact, they would regard progressive socialists as 'controlled opposition'. Tankies are typically Marxist-Leninists who constantly play apologia for fascist states painted red, like China and North Korea, and will always find some reason why fascist states not even painted red, like Russia, are Good, Actually, because they oppose the West.
“Where???”
Any active political thread about China.
It's nice here on instances which have both Grad and Hexbear blocked. I remember the early days on .world, when Grad was still federated. Those were some high-intensity dipshits.
Anyway, you do what you need to for your mental health, my guy/gal/nonbinary pal. If ever you change your mind, most of us brainrotted terminally online types will still be here when you come back - and hopefully will have continued to marginalize the tankie fuckwads.
"Refusing aid to a tyrannical murdering regime is just virtue signaling that hurts the innocent."
"Upholding a tyrannical murdering regime with aid is the same as performing its murders yourself."
Which one do tankies believe? Well, it depends on whether the tyrannical murdering regime is pro-US or anti-US.
Yeah, the best time to start building nuclear plants was 20+ years ago. Unlike most things, the second-best time is not now, however - we're at a point where the massive expenditure for nuclear power generation is just a big question mark as to whether it'll be cost-effective by the time it's finished. There just haven't been enough breakthroughs in the past few decades to improve the cost-effectiveness of nuclear power substantially, while renewables are faster to install, cheaper to replace, and advancing at a rapid clip.
Definitely should still keep any nuclear plants we still have running, though. My home state of Maryland generates over 1/3 of its power through a nuclear plant. Would be 2/3s if the Obama administration didn't screw us over 'foreign' (EU) suppliers being a 'security risk' back in 2010 or so, ffs.
