thinks tankies have an agenda

Yes? Communism. It's communism. My agenda is communism.

Congratulations genius.

America is doing terrible things at home and abroad, but that isn’t enough for the tankies. They need us to have always been like this.

We haven’t. This is the first time we’ve had a president that wasn’t at least trying to do the right thing by his people, no matter how misguided.

American liberals are the most propagandised (and gullible) people on the planet.

We don't hide that we want communism, we describe ourselves as such by our very label!

They'll cry all day about how tankies are evil meanies for "denying the Holodomor" or what have you, but then openly deny the actual, horrific genocide of Native Americans like this as if they can't just pick up a fucking history book. These libs can go fuck themselves

"Sorry sweaty but we just had to fund Pol Pot and help members of the SS get government jobs in Chile because it's what was best. You're the real authoritarians for overthrowing the Khmer Rouge and having your children murdered in Pinochet's orphanages by actual, literal nazis."

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 21 points 1 month ago

Later on they gloss over Andrew Jackson while still trying to say well if they did 1 good thing that outways all the red/blood/genocide

From one of their friends:

Sometimes administrations are tainted by the populus

I hate these people so much. Yeah, clearly we had noble aristocrats corrupted by the masses, that's the problem. What was that about authoritarianism?

[–] TankieTanuki@hexbear.net 58 points 1 month ago (1 children)

W (from his perspective at the time) justified our invasion of Iraq with both liberating the people and reducing our reliance on Israel and Saudi Arabia

Liberals can't forgive Trump for removing the pretense, because that was the only thing sustaining their delusion that America is good.

Tankies stop at the system is fucked. It can’t be improved according to them, tear it down and build a new thing. Obviously that won’t happen and if we tried it would animal farm into something worse right off.

"it would animal farm" is one of the best things I've ever seen a liberal say lmao chefs-kiss

[–] lil_tank@hexbear.net 46 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Tankies stop at the child grinder is fucked. It can't be improved according to them. Us liberals want to limit the child grinding to 1 child per day and put a minimum age requirement, and oil it better so it can grind the child quicker. Tearing down the child grinder is authoritarian.

[–] Elysia@hexbear.net 31 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Yeah, the child grinder isn't great. But the child grinder operator class says we need ground up children for society to function. I think what we really need is reforms that allow more children to become child grinder operators themselves.

[–] Dimmer06@hexbear.net 29 points 1 month ago (2 children)

The child grinder provides a lot of good jobs. How else are those people supposed to feed their families?

[–] UmbraVivi@hexbear.net 24 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Liberals in 2050: "President Fuentes is an authoritarian the likes we've never seen before. I miss the moderate, civil Republicans like Donald Trump back in the day. He really wanted what's best for America!"

Animal Farm

Animal Farm is a work of fiction, God damn it. You can tell because it is located in the same section of the library as Moby Dick and The Hobbit.

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 28 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Moby Dick is actually a whaling manual hidden within an adventure story. There's a bunch of how-to stuff that was used by whalers as a reference. It's part of why it was written. It's also why it's incredibly tedious to read for modern audiences. We don't want to read 20 pages of whale biology describing the location of each of their organs or 50 pages of how to process the blubber into oil.

Animal Farm doesn't even teach you how to farm, making it completely fictional. Moby Dick has sections longer than all of Animal Farm and 1984 combined talking about random whale shit like describing actual whale shit and the best knots to use while running rope through it.

[–] Maturin@hexbear.net 20 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Don’t forget the multi-page philosophical defense of the “whale is a fish” school of thought.

Tankies stop at the system is fucked. It can’t be improved according to them, tear it down and build a new thing. Obviously that won’t happen and if we tried it would animal farm into something worse right off. And just isn’t true, the system here worked relatively well after the second world war. Never perfect, but with controls on the system and governed by mostly reason, we did make the most prosperous working class the world has every seen by a large margin. Now gone, chiseled away by the CPI having been understated for half a century averaging 2-3 percent a year just by 2008 under the new measures, while it was 5-8 percent under the old.

That was not a good faith change, it was done to steal from working people at every level and stage, and give to investors, and no one questions it even still, as the ivy league suits tell us our buying power has never been higher, when that clearly isn’t true.

the system here worked relatively well after the second world war. Never perfect, but

You mean the people who kept threatening people with nukes? The people who proliferated atomic weapons giga? The ones who did 56 military interventions (old figure btw, doesn't include Venezuela, for example) in South America post WW2? The one that proliferated military bases all across the world? The Bay of Pigs people? The ones that invaded Vietnam because they were bored? The people who made North Korea the most bombed place ever? Coup in Guatemala so that bananas were cheap? The people who would rather destroy civilization than coexist with the USSR? You're saying that system worked relatively well? I'm saying that they were barbaric up to and through current events.

I could have a prosperous working class too if I decided that my money was the world reserve currency because everyone else died in WW2 and proceed to loot other countries. But the prosperity that was enjoyed by others would, and was, only because there was a big strong union fighting and bleeding for the advocacy of the working class.

huh... I wonder why that is? parenti

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 24 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I think Laos is the most bombed place ever, at least in terms of density of bombardment, but that was also the US.

Also don't forget that they are including 20 years of Jim Crow and a bunch of other shit as the system working well.

[–] ExotiqueMatter@lemmygrad.ml 23 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I've been thinking since a while ago that we should make well sourced posts exposing the messed up stuff the US and Europe have done in bite-size formats, with further readings and stuff, and post them in places we know some liberals and peoples disillusioned with politics are likely to see them.

This sort of ridiculously ignorant takes unironically coming from them vindicates the idea I think.

The country that was built on slavery and exploitation wasn't bad until Trump, we promise! America is just an innocent little guy! They tooootally didn't mean all those horrible war crimes, that was just an oopsie! Please ignore all the stuff that's come out about all the weird social control we experimented with during MKUltra! Please ignore all the times the ruling class has been caught gloating about what they do! Please ignore a the warnings academics gave about this very thing happening! Please be nice to smol bean US!

one of the annoying aspects of reading redditor comments is that they remind me of my politics as a teenager in the 2000s, and had I come out from school with a career in typing on a keyboard instead of doing physical labor, I also would have convinced myself that I had reached the apex of political philosophy requiring no further development

not the current offensive by Russia against the world.

But have you considered RUSSIA!! All day I think about Russia. Is there a cloud in the sky? It was put there by Russia.

It’s funny. We’re awash in terrible things happening in and from America, but that isn’t enough for the tankies. It’s almost like they have an agenda.

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 30 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This is like when Biden said "Trump was the first racist President".

Yeah, I'm sure in his heart Hayes was really just trying to do the right thing, and Nixon and Reagan and the rest of them. Look, if you're racist, then doing incredible violence to people of color is just trying to do the right thing. The real problem with Trump is that he's not a sincere and moralizing racist, he's just a flippant racist.
