You vote for fascism, you get fascism.
And we're barely a month in.

Don't give Trump any ideas
Stop using and/or buying their products comes to mind.
Adblock, Firefox, don't buy new phones, etc etc etc
I said “Tankie” is a caricature, another term might be “strawman.” They don’t exist
And literally in the next paragraph he denies the uyghur genocide.
The Uyghur people aren’t being [...] forcibly sterilized
except they literally are.
And then he parrots soviet propaganda on why their imperialism was actually not imperialism lol
Color me surprised, the one calling Communists “fascist” and doing Holocaust trivialization is a defender of Nazis.
Strawmanning and moving the goalpoast. Tried and True Tankie Method.
Go wank another one to the poster of Stalin over your bed. A serious discussion is not possible with someone living detached from reality. Have a good one.
The idea of a tankie is the ideal vision of a McCarthyian Communist
So you're saying that tankies aren't communists?
Moreover, calling Communists “fascists” makes about as much sense as libertarians complaining about the US government being “Communist.”
I thought you just said that Tankies aren't communists? Because the alternative is that communism is when you genocide uyghurs to create Lebensraum for the han chinese. Which is just fascism.
It’s entirely divorced from reality and rests upon dramatic errors in understanding what fascism is
I spent years learning about fascism just to be lectured by a fascist charading as a communist on the internet lol
as Is the Red Flag Flying? The Political Economy of the Soviet Union to
I just quickly put it through Perplexity and: "For example, he interprets the 1956 Hungarian intervention as a pre-emptive strike against Western powers gaining influence in the Eastern Bloc"
It is Tankie shit. Imperialism bad, unless the Flag is red, then massacring workers and women is actually good. And from doing the same with the blakshirts book it seems the author has no Idea of how fascism came to rise or willingly lies about it to push his narrative.
Calling tankies communists is a disservice to the entire ideology of communism. If you want to simp for an authoritarian strongman just be honest with yourself and call yourself a fascist.
it's what I use, but it has such a unpleasant UI
I feel like Signal is the only FOSS App that has a good and modern UI
Updated my blocklist, thank you
Tankies are just fascists painted red.
And the last time I checked, hating fascists isn't anti-left
oh so you think birds aren't already flying robots? robot bees are just the next step.
/s obviously
also they aren't actually open source? Only the weights are open source?

Sure, let me just fly across the atlantic to clean up the mess that you made while you and all the other ones responsible flee the mess.
That's not how this works.
Germany and the germans had to take responsibility for what the Nazis did. The same way you and all us-americans will have to take responsibility for what Trump does/will do.
Weasling yourself out of your responsibilities is highly irresponsible, disrespectful to all of Trumps victims and is directly enabling fascism. Remember that most Germans weren't Nazis, they were just willing enough to stand by as the Nazis commited their crimes. Enabling a genocide still makes you responsible for a genocide.
The quote of Martin Niemöller comes to mind.
And if you really want to leave: Please don't come to Europe. We already had one Martin Niemöller and learned our lesson, we don't need you anymore for that.
