  • The first two want to consolidate power first. Typical capitalist move, get to the top, then pull the ladder up behind you.
  • The third guy has a sensible idea.
  • The 'ban Liberalism' guy probably can't define Liberalism.
  • The 'ban factory farms' guy has a good idea.
  • The 'ban cars' crowd I sorta agree with. Cars should only be used in rural areas, where public transit is not viable.
  • The anti-Israel guy, wants to ban countries from solidarizing with Israel. An inherently pro-war take.
  • Historical Revisionism, I had to look up who Adrian Zenz is, and Zenz is critical of the Uyghur genocide. So yeah, Historical Revisionism just means 'anything I don't like' to this commenter.

Edit: Changed 'urban' to 'rural' as pointed out by @goat.

Banning "all" factory farms is a terrible idea without suitable replacements. There's a reason starvation has decreased world-wide over the past 100 years. There was a really good article posted yesterday about the challenges here.

Agree with the animal part, though.

The third guy has a sensible idea.

Yeah, though that's going to be insanely costly for the government. Best solution is offering a cheap, readily available public version and then the premium services.

The ‘ban factory farms’ guy has a good idea.

It is! But ironically, animals are and have always been treated the worst in communist states.

The ‘ban cars’ crowd I sorta agree with. Cars should only be used in urban areas, where public transit is not viable.

You mean rural?

You mean rural? Yes, rural. Thanks for pointing that out. Yeah, though that’s going to be insanely costly for the government. Best solution is offering a cheap, readily available public version and then the premium services. Well, services naturally cost money. But yes, allowing private services would also be good. I'm just worried that the public version falls too far behind in terms of quality provided. As in, politicians see that the private version is only a bit more expensive than the public one, and therefore slash funding for the public version, causing the public quality to decrease, after which the private provider see higher demand, and then increase prices.

I used to mix up Urban and Rural because Urban areas are where you grow herbs right?

Lmfao, this is exactly what conservatives think all socialists are. Tankies are such terrible optics for advancing the left

[-] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

It's because a non trivial portion of them are legitimately Poe's law trolls and the tankies are completely blind to it.

"Oh, this is calamity! Calamity! Oh no, he's on the floor!"

Welcome to MoG!

Meanwhile On Grad

Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!

What is a Tankie?

Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.

(caution of biased source)

Basic Rules:

Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don't be a dick.

Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.

Apologia — (Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism, Islamic Terrorism or any variation of Tankie Ideology.

Revisionism — No downplaying or denying atrocities past and present. Calling Tankies shills, foreign/federal agents, or bots also falls under this rule. Extremists exist. They are real. Do not call them shills or fake users as it handwaves their extremism.

Tankies can explain their views but may be criticised or attacked for them. Any slight infraction on the rules above will immediately earn a warning and possibly a ban.

Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post as opposed to arguing.

You'll be warned if you're violating the instance and community rules. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction will double the amount. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.
