Hahaha yes!
Just wait until you feel the incredible feel of having one of them DM you calling you the N-word, threatening to "punch you in your N***** face" and then you use an IP tracker to find they're using an Belorussian IP.
I've been running off that accomplishment for some time.
Nagging people will usually cause them to call you a nagger but you don't need to censor that LMAO 🤣
If you haven’t been called a “Russian bot,” you’re not really challenging western imperialism yet.
Shit, I need to step up my game!
It’s not hard. Just state facts that are kept off the news, and they’ll come rolling in.
Or just say that genocide is bad even when democrats are enabling it.
No, not the downvotes! 🥺
Lol what downvotes lmao 🤣
A handful? Didn't you read the meme?
Every one is a little fascist tear that I add to my vial. Care to add another one?
You seem to think everyone who downvotes you is a fascist, without considering other reasons.
Fascinating.
I wish you the best of lucks 😂
Not just fascists, also those who empower fascists by sitting on their lazy ignorant smug asses on Election Day, bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe LoL aMiRiTe, who want some sort of collapse to happen... because they fancy themselves at the top of their imagined new "purity" food chain, I mean... look at their purity! Aren't they so special and so above it all?
They read things! On the internet! Wow!
They reject anything that doesn't fit their narrative. They LOVE having their hollow ego massaged in circlejerks and by bad-faith actors.
God forbid anything less than perfect and pure crosses their medieval path, lest they feel offended and... oh yeah, they do nothing. Which is why we're in this goddamned mess in the first place. They allowed racist, misogynistic fascism to take firm root, good luck weeding it out now.
Fascists are not empowered by political apathy. If that were the case, you'd be able to provide evidence that states or nations with low voter turnout always turn fascist. 80% of voters turned out in 1932 when the Nazis became the most powerful party. Political apathy can be a result of burgeoning fascism - among other things. How do you think fascism arose in Germany? People being lazy?
Chalking up fascism to poltical apathy is what happens when you fail to look at fascism as a function of class dynamics and class conflict - and furthermore, fail to see the generations-old pattern of regulatory agencies being captured, special interests dominating political commentary, rampant lobbying, decaying education, wages being suppressed, healthcare being denied, transportation services rendered useless, etc...
If, at the end of this devolution into fascism, your only takeaway is "Damn lazy tankies and russian spies destroyed America!", then you haven't learned your lesson, and you've fallen in perfect lockstep with your liberal forerunners who made the exact same mistakes.
It's telling that you folks never engage when leftists point out that when the democrats had a choice between slowing fascism and committing genocide on Palestinians, they chose to do genocide all for sweet AIPAC dollars.
The simple fact is that Biden's and Kamala's constituents wanted an end to genocide. Biden and Kamala ignored these constituents. Biden and Kamala lost. That couldn't be a more democratic outcome; it's more American than Apple pie. If you say "fuck you" to your constituents, it's a safe bet you'll lose them, and if this is a calculus that some dumb ass like me can make, you know that higher levels of democratic leadership were aware of the risks and chose to take them anyway. The democrats are controlled opposition.
If you are a liberal reading this thread and are starting to see holes pop up in the logic and reasoning of your colleagues, or have correctly identified that the liberals are ill-equipped to deal with this devolution, I'd encourage you to learn what Marxism really is - beyond the spark notes you got from your conservative history teacher in high school.
Fascists are not empowered by political apathy
Fascists are empowered by political apathy in a first past the post election system. Which we have.
And its not just tankies. You guys are an influence but you aren't the sole driver of this result of low turnout obviously.
This is something many clownishly-apolitical individuals that aren't tankies understand and still choose not to vote because they also, like tankies, think both parties are the same but for more low brow selfish small minded reasons. I live in a deeply rural area and commute to a small city and I've encountered these morons first hand in both places. Typically these are poorly educated impoverished people who feel left behind by perceived elites (not just rich people but basically any people smart enough to work low paying white collar like myself). Who don't realize they're letting things get worse for them and now will end up materially worse off and even some of them will end up dead as a result.
And in so far that a person can deserve their own misfortune, they will. Because they either know or very much ought to know what was at stake and did not give a fuck.
I actually think most tankies will be fine though. You guys are educated enough that you're probably not on average nearly as impoverished as these types. It'll just be the dipshit apolitical underclass of people who will start feeling things get noticeably worse.
Maybe it wont be too late for them to be moved by their impending suffering and react to it in a productive way but at this point I'm kind of over it. I'm ambivalent at this point.
bOtH siDeS tHo!
So you didn’t vote for the “gEnOciDeR”, how’s that working out for you?
Take a look around at the paradise that your inaction has caused.
It's still shocking to me that people were stupid enough to believe that Jim Crow Joe would be a remedy for fascism in the first place.
It's doubly shocking to me that you've already forgot about Roe v Wade, most deportations in history (even more than now), building and expansion of prisons/cop cities, expanded drone strikes/kidnappings, start of multiple genocides, etc. and then feel entitled enough to be this fucking glib.
You have not been paying attention. If you believe in electoralism then stop punching down and redirect your rage at those who actually have power to change things within that system.
What’s shocking are all the fucking dipshits that think staying home and doing nothing at all is the best course of action to stop an anthropomorphic buttplug from overthrowing democracy.
And what’s more shocking, is that their smug entitlement is so strong that they refuse to acknowledge their fault in the shitshow that is going on around them.
For fuck’s sake! Even some of the conservatives have come forward to admit they fucked up! But no, rank and file of those ignorant little shithead protest voting assholes are still folding their arms and yet, have the audacity to blame people that fucking voted?
Shocking indeed.
And what’s more shocking, is that their smug entitlement is so strong that they refuse to acknowledge their fault in the shitshow that is going on around them.
Kamala won my state, you're just mad that people don't have the religious faith in voting and American 'democracy' that you do.
maybe try something other than blaming people to your left when the pathetic centrists lose to Republicans after insisting on doing a genocide. You might even be able to mentally move on from it and have some new ideas to share with everyone besides crying about 'tankies' (whoever you disagree with)
If you're an eligible voter and didn't vote for Harris you looked at Trump style facism and decided you were okay with it. Don't blame other people for your choices.
I voted for a communist because I was tired of both Harris style fascism AND Trump style fascism.
you lot have a religious conviction in voting and we don't even have a popular vote!
Then you helped Trump win. Plains as.
no, they didnt
Yep, they did. It’s in the numbers bud.
So you threw your vote away in protest.
My vote was already 'thrown away' because the system is not set up to represent me.
You still dig into the very same ignorance that got us here.
Remarkable!
The system deserves to be treated with contempt, and organized outside of. I'm just beating the same drum I always do.
'm just beating the same drum I always do.
Take a look around. How’d that pan out for you?
Oh, and… enjoy that drum while you can, because it’s going to be take away from you by the people you helped put in power.
id rather be dead than participate in a genocide, sorry
Well… make sure you don’t avert your eyes when the full weight of what you helped accomplish comes pressing down on your brothers and sisters in the LGBTQ+, your mothers, your sisters… because we’re seeing it play out with immigration right now, but trust me when I say I’ve read Project 2025….
They’re all next on the list.
They’re all next on the list.
Yes, we all are, I'm visibly trans IRL too you know.
Recall the first they came poem?
Well this time around the verses would have started with Palestinians - really hard to be surprised when that same process plays out once more. It's why I have the positions I do, participating in that genocide the way we did set the stage for where we are now.
Both -parties- ARE equally terrible. They are all in on and define the bullshit system and both are 100% two halves of the same problem.
TRUMP is a different story though. For one thing he is no more a Republican than he is a Democrat he is there to do whatever he thinks is best for him and that is it. He makes any Democrat I have ever seen look amazing in comparison. I generally vote Independent and even swore years ago that I would never vote for a D or R again without some insane change to something and I do still refuse to support either shit ass party in general. Trump is a different story though, he made me vote for a Democrat for the first time in my life. Even the normal terrible D and R bullshit looks amazing when you are watching Trump destroy the country.
Note that there are good politicians who stand out from the actual party on both sides. I would vote for some if they made it to the election just for the fact that they have a cause and a vision to help people and even if I don't like the means it is sure a hell of a lot better than the current state of affairs.
Remember that the admins of the Tankie Triad regularly post and brigade threads pushing their invalid ideology on other instances.
And they have a dozen or so alts ready to downvote dissent.
Tankies literally have to manipulate social media so people pay attention to them and control narratives or else they get laughed out of every room they enter.
Open admission to editing headlines for posting and admin knows and does nothing (shocker)
!meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works everyone and see for yourself the crap they pull
Hexbear is the one that mostly ""brigades"".
The only reason this happens is because they can't downvote. So they comment instead.
Davel is a .ml mod
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I rarely see any mass comments from people in ml. In political topics, it's mostly barely a handfull of the same users. Plus, political topics often get pushed to the front pages, so it's not unlikely that the users see it themselves, whether or not Davel posted the thread in question.
Have you considered that there's just plenty of people who disagree with you?
Also, you lot suck at coming up with names, tankie troika is way more ominous
I literally have no idea how many down votes I've gotten. I do kinda miss seeing bad people get down voted, but I find this experience much more pleasant.
If you wanna get the down vote experience, just change to a instance that shows them.
Down votes are so meaningless. New browsers think they control the world.
On the contrary; they let me know when I hit a nerve. When fascists tell you what pisses them off, that's where you press.
When people call me a tankie ☺️
I love how people just spew nonsense they know nothing about. It’s validating knowing I pissed them off lmfao 😇
