Guess I shouldn’t have poked the bear…
Anyways Hexbear banned me.
I had audacity to post my opinion as a leftist. Interesting there is no space for civil discourse in a USSR apologist community.
This comes from someone who is active in left organizing, political places, and listens to Chapo (way better when Matt C was there).
Anyways, these edgelords would get laughed out of any real leftist communities once they started regurgitating agit prop. Guess it’s good they have their safe space online - no loss
I love how Tankies are so broken that they act as staunch defenders of hypercapitalist countries like Russia and China
I feel like calling worse countries more capitalist is missing the point. They’re bastards. They’re seizing territory from and committing atrocities against massive groups of innocent people. It’s not a matter of who’s getting the money, or what some beardy guys might’ve thought.
The problem is that tankies are conservatives, in the sense they’re tribalists. They have decided these countries are Their Side, so any criticism is unjustifiable persecution, because Their Side can do nothing wrong. Things are right because they do them. Therefore Ukraine must be the devil! and it’s their job to shuffle cards into argument-shaped sentences bolstering that conclusion. Objective reality can only make them pick new pretenses, and only sometimes. Logical consistency doesn’t even register.
