I personally love when tankie-grads larp LGBT symbols, as if they actually supported trans and gay rights. Everyone sees through this shit right?

A community for your defence shitposting needs
Rules
1. Be nice
Do not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.
2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes
If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.
3. Content must be relevant
Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.
4. No racism / hatespeech
No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.
5. No politics
We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.
6. No seriousposting
We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.
7. No classified material
Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.
8. Source artwork
If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.
9. No low-effort posts
No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.
10. Don't get us banned
No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.
11. No misinformation
NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.

It reminds me of the Onion video titled "First female dictator hailed as step forward for women."
This lady becomes a dictator and then goes though and kills her political enemies along with some random civilians.
Imelda marcos??
The really early USSR was socially progressive, including legal tolerance of homosexuality. Stalin absolutely shut that down.
Yeah, most early communism was VERY egalitarian for women (not really sure about homosexuals, those don't tend to feature much in 19th century writings), but that got rapidly stomped into the ground later.
And as much as tankies love to preach you need to read the source material, they mostly don't.
My god, last time the fact I've actually read Das Kapital came up, they pretty much just went for "no you didn't". Yes I did, and I didn't even get a T-shirt for the densely-written pain.
As per the gay thing, it was part of the blanket repeal of Tsarist laws, and didn't get put back in until Stalin was on the scene. In the meanwhile advocacy groups sprang up and were tolerated, so that tells you it wasn't just on paper. I have no idea if anyone has gone deeper into the historical sources for our benefit. (Preferably in English, because my Russian is кое-как)

You're a stronger man than I. I've read (and appreciated!) other Marx, but Das Kapital is like trying to eat a desert's worth of sand without even the mercy of a glass of water.
Pretty much. And then once you unfuck the language what he's actually saying is pretty underwhelming. Hours I'll never get back...
I also love seeing identity/symbols co-opted by authoritarians.
Can we just stop the fighting and have a beach party?
Toss the ol land mine ‘round
If I say it's safe to surf this beach, Captain, it's safe to surf this beach!
"Look officer, I don't know how that bar fight kicked off, all I asked was how to get from this river to the sea."
"fragment"
That was a big-ass missile.
Don't worry, Israel has already been blamed for it.
