It's really an amazing world some of y'all think you are in, such a different reality. I mean I wish I lived in a reality in which the last hundred plus years of American History wasn't liberals setting up brutal dictators to murder and destroy the leftists all around the world.
let's be fair, sometimes it was liberals setting up brutal dictators to murder and destroy brutal dictators they'd previously set up.
and then there was that time the country wanted bananas
you're gonna trigger them with this one llol
Who's going to Fox news to trash the Dsa and Hassan? Not the tankis but the establishment democrats
Geriatrics dems who appease to the facists are libs
shhh! don't tell Joe and Eileen Bailey!
Trump may claim to hate communism
But arming Israel is bombunism
Liberals supporting fascist enablers every step of the way and then blaming the leftists when everything they warn about doing that comes to pass.
Libs will never learn. You should vote but voting is quite literally the least impactful way to be involved in your political system. Join DSA if you want to work towards tangible change. Otherwise you're just patting yourself on the back and assuaging your guilt for not doing more.

I'd love to see you verbalize a count argument than whatever this is.
I kniw i can ddg it but... Whats a tankie?
It's meaning can vary based on the ideology of the user, but in my experience it's usually someone who supports authoritarian regimes because of a veneer of communism. Usually Soviet Russia (especially the Stalin era) or modern China. I think the term comes from how these regimes like to show power with tanks.

It was an insult made up by a group of British trots against other European communist groups for their support of the USSR intervention in an attempted color revolution (involving a bunch of actual og nazi-affiliates/Nazis) in Hungary in the '50s. The intervention involved driving tanks into Hungary, thus "tankie".
Of course later openings of CIA archives confirmed that the revolution was indeed supported by the CIA. The nazi thing was evident at the time, you can just look up the groups involved and the participants.
Uh-huh. CIA archives, is that what it is now? Last I checked the only evidence of CIA involvement was an incredibly tenuous link to a hungarian immigrant group that was founded several years afterwards. But there's archives now, are there? Can we see them, please? It would be super interesting since, well, reports from the actual CIA archives sure make it sound like they didnt know what was happening at all, let alone have any control over it. In fact according to them, they didn't even have more than one officer there and completely fucked up the entire thing, which they doubtlessly would have liked to have supported, through what can only be described as "wild incompetence".
I love that American liberals have no idea what liberalism is and just think it's all the good things about liberalsim and none of the bad things, and they have no idea what conservatism is and wind up believing it's all the bad things about liberalsim and none of the good things.
