They are just socialists on a more national, local level. So they're basically just like "grow and buy local" liberals that oppose the fascist Drumpf! To those red fascist tankies in the room, LEARN TO READ GERMAN you TANKIES! smuglord

To the non-tankies interested, join us on our lemmy instance where we discuss, among other things: epic bacon memes, i fucking love science videos, and a whole host of other mid to late 2000s internet humor because our brains are stuck in that era and we became the boomers we hated so much!

EDIT: Thanks for the reddit gold everyone!!

So, you like the Democratic People's Republic of Korea then right? juche-boi

[-] christiansocialist@hexbear.net 15 points 2 years ago

Nice try tankie, but North Korea is actually not a democracy. They may call it that, but they are authoritarian and the people are basically zombie drones who blindly follow the leader. Unlike here in the US, where we freely chose our democratically elected leaders!

That's not what I learned from Stay Stay, DPRK! You clearly haven't done your homework.

Supposedly the reason we refer to these ites as “cakes” traces back to Benjamin Franklin. While experimenting with the Franklin stove he baked a bunch of cookies that he eventually placed beside the outhouse for his guests. Apparently John Hancock accidentally knocked the plate into the urine pot, and presto, the cakes absorbed the smell.

Challenge level impossible: Americans stop treating the founding fathers like a pantheon of mythological figures.

Franklin is just the Americanized Zeus figure.

Ben Franklin was literally the 1700s version of Frank Reynolds from Always Sunny in Philadelphia

Who the fuck goes to an outhouse and is like "man, I sure could go for a cookie while I'm doing my business?"

1700s guys were gross.

They didn't even have plumbing. Who the fuck goes "you know where I should put some snacks for my guests? Right next to my pile of literal shit"

That’s a good one.

“Nazis were left because they were ‘national socialists!’” very-intelligent

“Have you ever eaten a urinal cake?”

[-] BeamBrain@hexbear.net 16 points 2 years ago

There are many possible responses to this but the one I've settled on is "So you believe what the Nazis said?"

To paraphrase Engels:

These gentlemen think that when they have ascertained the names of things they have ascertained the very nature of the things themselves. This is how these profound thinkers mock at the whole world.

Is this from anti-Duhring?

[-] ReadFanon@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago

It's from On Authority:

When I submitted arguments [about the nature of authority] to the most rabid anti-authoritarians, the only answer they were able to give me was the following: Yes, that's true, but there it is not the case of authority which we confer on our delegates, but of a commission entrusted!

These gentlemen think that when they have changed the names of things they have changed the things themselves. This is how these profound thinkers mock at the whole world.
