Still waiting on that CIA paycheck, man when CIA payroll dept finally pays me that back pay is gonna be sweet!
Yes, for example, me an anarcho-communist who thinks western governments are generally terrible. But ALSO thinks that governments like Russia and China are absolutely terrible and committing different forms of genocide, am definitely on a CIA payroll right? That only makes sense?
This from the group who's intellectual ancestors shot at leftists like you and me before they shot the Czar.
"'Tankie' is just a slur for people you don't like". No, it's a term for people that have a definition of imperialism so bad that it doesn't cover the Soviet Union literally driving tanks into another country.
Yeah… Reading Orwell’s hommage to Catalonia was illuminating to me.
Really made me realise those “tankies” would probably shoot me if they got the chance. As always:
Have you seen how they moderate their instances. I don't want any one of those fucks near any real power.
Literally, us anti communist communists are the worst aren't we?
Tune in next week folks, to see if the campist tankies solve the mystery of who shat "our" pants.
Tap for spoiler
It was them
Pft, classic CIA whataboutism /s
I'm not sure which government i'd find the least shit. Probably somewhere like denmark maybe? Somewhere high on the freedom index.
Imagine being this BASED
me an anarcho-communist
Sorry to hear that, hope for a swift recovery
A anti
Homie should take a break from pretending to read theory and read a book about grammar
Trolling is a art.
But why is it called the Xbox 360?
“A book?” Jeez, take a hard look in the mirror, friend! It’s obviously “an book.”
Umm first off, you’re an intern, you don’t get paid. Second, I sent you for coffee like 3 hours ago and you still haven’t dropped it off at my desk.
Thirdly, Doge called and they want to know exactly what you’ve been doing this week.
Remember: our coffee orders are classified, so you'll have to find something else to tell them.
I am also still waiting for my Soros bucks, let alone my my CIA paycheck
I had some mouth breathing chuds on Discord accuse me of being a CIA psyop because I didn’t want to play a game with EAC (a specific kind of kernel level anticheat) yes, being anti spyware makes me a spook, cmon guys are you even trying 🙄
eac on linux is userspace only
regardless, kernel level ac isn't a solution. DMA is a thing and is piss easy to bypass.
Remember how russia got completely surprised by Ukraine's collectivism and national identity?
Yeah, if one does actual psyops and mass propaganda at national level, you can present and see your enemy through a similar mindset (yes, goes for usa and china bs as well).
The most hilarious thing was a circlejerk convincing dummies there is a grassroot movement between polish kids in being interested in russia, the language and communism.
Bitch gtfo. Any kid who would get caught with this shit would get smacked in the head at light speed.
Yes, there is such thing. But ran by russian troll farms. What was proven by journalists, ngos as well as eu intel agencies.
Of course the most legitimate account is PolandIsAStateOf... Whoever is running that account does not use polish ever.
I mean, my mom learnt some russian and some german but i doubt it was because of communism. This was like 1980s ish tho. Not sure exactly when.
Being called a single issue voter for caring about Palestinian children at all and a tankie for caring about economic liberation certainly would make this meme seem accurate.
Meanwhile I had the opposite reaction. "Man, I really hope this leftist reddit diaspora is at least passingly familiar with some contemporary post-left theory from the last century and isn't just tankie brainrot..."
Lol ikr?
Ironically, Clint Eastwood is playing a Korean War vet in that movie.
I'm not a psyop but I am definitely anti-communist. Communism is fuckin' stupid. Capitalism is out of control for sure, but I damn sure prefer it to any form of communism that has ever existed on a nation-state level in the world. Signed, a lemmy dot world user.
I'll agree on any given real world example of communism that's happened so far, but why do you hate it as a concept?
Community property, community ownership of everything, and the kind of government that is required to enforce non-ownership of everything. Because in my experience when you let the community own something the dumbest bastards in town will just fuck it all up. Community ownership of everything only works when everybody is nice and considerate of others, but in the real world there are fucking idiots everywhere who don't care about the external world and others at all.
So for communism to work, you'd have to exile all of those idiots to somewhere else. Then you are Hitler 3.0 with mass deportations and camps all over again. There's no good answer to the inherent problems.
Personal property allowable isn't it? I understood that to be distinct from private property. The UK has plenty of council run parks, the NHS etc which are publicly owned without too much trouble.
i think your view is valid buy i'd like your opinions on a few things.
Personally, i'm a fan of social programs as opposed to community ownership. Community ownership might work for small things little libraries, but if you scale it too far out, you'll simply be robbed by the very people you're trying to provide for. And you either have to hitler those people or cult them and i'm sure neither is appealing.
the reason why i'm fan of social programs is if you're out of a job + sick. In the US, you'd just fucking die physically or finantially. But in another other developed country, you'd be taken care of, more or less. This can be expanded to a bunch of other things. You have a child? Let's give you cupons (specifically) for childcare products. Your boiler sucks ass in efficiency? Let's make a gov pay towards a new one. Too much energy usage? Incentivise using energy off peak instead.
i love these because they're not forced on people but make a difference for people that do need it. I think these are more socialist than communist ideas, please correct me if i'm wrong.

Welcome to MoG!
Meanwhile On Grad
Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!
What is a Tankie?
(caution of biased source)
Basic Rules:
Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia — (Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism, Islamic Terrorism or any variation of Tankie Ideology.
Revisionism — No downplaying or denying atrocities past and present. Calling Tankies shills, foreign/federal agents, or bots also falls under this rule. Extremists exist. They are real. Do not call them shills or fake users as it handwaves their extremism.
Tankies can explain their views but may be criticised or attacked for them. Any slight infraction on the rules above will immediately earn a warning and possibly a ban.
Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post as opposed to arguing.
You'll be warned if you're violating the instance and community rules. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction will double the amount. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.
