Mine is that everything being caffinated now is a ploy by Big Piss to get you to produce more piss for no extra money.

Do you drive?

And if the people want a state?

You people never shut the fuck up about the spooky evil instance, you’re like schoolkids telling ghost stories

I defo agree that the idea that power axiomatically corrupts is much older than lotr. Tolkein was cribbing from the bible, perhaps unconsciously, because even for chill agnostic people like us, we were still raised in a media and political environment soaked in Christian thinking that defined the stories we’ve consumed and the ways we unconsciously see the world.

Lmao

Its ok you’re still on the team⭐️

You must surely understand what is being said by those two pieces of text back to back

Oh, this is one of those things where you don’t know what “empire” means, and just use it as a standin for “large country (bad vibes)”

In the abstract, you can hold any two incompatible positions you want. In practice, you cannot.

thousands of identical online content creators all using the same filter to look like the perfect woman, sometimes lined up dozens livestreaming on the same street a few feet from each other, etc.

Get a load of the last fortunate soul on earth who’s never heard of Miami

“The enemy is both an imminent danger to our society and self evidently ridiculous and mentally defective for reasons that don’t even warrant elucidation.”

friend

Gonna tell me this isn’t the way next?

I cannot stress enough how the entire structure of this “tankie” narrative is just reheated Christian epistemology about power corrupting, rehashed Marvel slop about how changing anything actually makes you turn evil, capitalist slave ideology about how change leads to bad things and a better world isn’t possible. Better to suffer forever and be a pure lamb in the hopes of being rewarded in the afterlife after a really good election.

Anyway, if I was to ask you what on earth you think is going to happen if we all “go tankie” (just the new snarl word for communist now that communism is becoming popular) you would not be able to give me a coherent, stage-1 stage-2, cause and effect answer. Your answer would look less like a scientific process of cause and effect and more like a religious prohpect, because you and I grew up being conditioned into liberal thought, which means being conditioned into magical thinking.

I hope I get to fist fight you to death in the revolution one day you piece of shit

Bet

You’re not even giving Ukraine autonomy in your explanation

Correct, they don’t have autonomy. We, the collective west, took that from them in 2014, and now the government we installed is trafficking the people of Ukraine like meat.

“Well it’s not nice or good but it’s happening, better to be on the winning side.”

Yeah more of a blue maga phenomenon, conservatives still just call everyone a commie like it’s 1965

Aw, he confused

Tankies are simply “people against colonialism” is a new take for me. Pfft.

You know you’re the face of Lemmy, right?

Cool

There’s a reason why projects aiming for widespread adoption do not shout their controversial opinions from the rooftops.

They lack both the courage and conviction of communists?
