I’ll be the first to admit it. I won’t get all “HOW DARE YOU!!!” if you said so.

If every 3rd-4th politics thread didn't find time for the 2 minutes hate because of the instance someone picked months ago maybe I would be less annoyed about it.

There's plenty of people who get called tankies" who are fine, and it's just politically illiterate people being melodramatic. People "on the left" can be politically illiterate, and I would say someone putting on the aesthetic of being a leftist while still making room to be chauvinist, misogynistic or transphobic is what I'm more worried about.

Part of why I push back on people trying to paint with a broad brush in is that people to the left of the Democrats aren't a monolith and the way tankie gets thrown around it treats them as such.

It's actually surreal to have people expressing antiwar positions get accused of being 'tankies'. Even the word evokes wanting to 'send in the tanks'- yet these are the people saying "maybe we shouldn't be sending tons of military equipment (ie tanks) to fuel a war.

Cool, so as long as I'm making at least $30/hour I'm "fine***". 🫠

(Also my wage would have had to have been $20/hr increased to $30/hr in the span of that chart for your statement to be true)

I've yet to interact with anyone on .ml who's straight up pro-trump, unless you're playing the game of "anyone questioning dear leader is working for russia and supporting trump"

As for pro-russia, I've run into plenty of people who want the US to lose, but that's a world apart from being pro-russia, especially as it is today. It gets conflated that way because election seasons have a way of making people stop seeing nuance.

Believe me I have plenty of issues with some people on .ml, but this isn't one of them.

I guess if I was talking about "all the dumbasses on lemmy.world" and commiserating with others about how "they're not paid, they're just actually that stupid" you would probably take offense too

Pretty sure Cisco was too, the're supplying hardware to the bubble. I think you misunderstood my point- I don't think AI is going to be profitable in the long term, it's probably very profitable to sell the hardware for that to people with investor money- their stock price reflects that.

To me it's seeing the Nvidia stock price in the same sort of range as Cisco stock prices were in the dot com bubble- I don't have any confidence they're going to reach the promised land of profitability this time either.
