I keep thinking of bad things and then say "wow I bet Hexbear would like this thing" and then I smugly smile while shit leaks out of my pants. Both ends.

I called you a tankie on the internet therefore ipso fatso socialism is over.

So I used to spend a lot of time on R*ddit and I was an anarchist for a long time, so because of that you'd just get familiarised with the usernames of more active anarchists over time.

(This was to the point where one user, u/fuckeverythingever, who was a fairly prolific poster on that account [and prior ones that got banned but they had a distinct disposition and writing style so it was easy enough to recognise when one of his accounts would get banned and then a new account would spring up talking about the same things with the same mannerisms and I'd be like - oh hey, he's back!], went dark and then not long after news travelled around about the death of a young Portland anarchist named Sean Kealiher and while he never gave out his real name or his age online, it lined up well enough that I'm pretty well sure that was his account and that we knew each other online.)

It was a bitterly funny thing to me, when the term tankie started to enter mainstream discourse around the same time I became an ML, that I would see these slapfights break out in more mainstream subs and there'd be an anarchist account which I'd be able to recognise and some lib would be accusing them of being a tankie for being too far to the left of them.

Often I'd see it and be like "Hang on, I'm pretty sure I recognise that username..." so I'd check their posting history and sure enough it'd be yet-another instance of an anarchist being called "tankie" by a liberal.

The tankie-as-political-slur revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for human discourse.

If I saw a tankie in real life I'd go right up to them and say "sir I like good things"

Make sure you bring your dad with you to help debate.

[-] happybadger@hexbear.net 41 points 1 year ago

I bring my dad with me everywhere I go.

[-] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 29 points 1 year ago

Ah, always ready to debate the wild tankies. I like your style.

Whenever we win against a tankie, my dad takes me for ice cream

Counter point, Russia does capitalism just as bad as they did communism. If we did it in Murrica, we’d kick ass at it and be a shining beacon of socialism.

[-] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 54 points 1 year ago

I want to congratulate you on the dumbest shit I've read all day before I ban you.

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago

Is it serious or not? The "Murrrica" makes me think it's deliberately ambiguous. We need to get more response to ascertain whether this kind of thing is a clever bit or not.

i promise its information and not a meme, idk how to unblur it

[-] bigboopballs@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago

I thought it dipped tremendously when the Soviet Union was officially dismantled

[-] Zuzak@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year ago

It dipped significantly but this graph is at a scale that includes Tsarist Russia where people were serfs with no access to medicine in a pre-industrial society. Having some extremely basic stuff like food and vaccines makes it virtually impossible to get that low again (unless you're being invaded by Nazis).

Unlimited genocide to america

Honestly I'm a little ashamed at how many people on this website took the bait on this one. This is a good post.

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago

If this is a joke it's phrased in such a way that it's totally ambiguous and I find that really funny in and of itself.

If this isn't a joke, please read Settlers.
