Lol, this is like saying nazi Germany was good because Hitler was a vegetarian
“Have these gentlemen ever seen a revolution? A revolution is certainly the most authoritarian thing there is; it is the act whereby one part of the population imposes its will upon the other part by means of rifles, bayonets and cannon”

The United states used military power to defeat the slavers in the south(and to get their independence in the first place), and the allies used military power to crush nazi Germany and their fascist allies. Not every use of military force is unwarranted or “immoral”
Shark tank but instead of billionaries investing to become ever richer, they get thrown in a tank full of hungry sharks that haven’t eaten in a week

And they sometimes get called “tankies” too by people to the right of them. That’s why I both think it’s a useless term (if everybody is a tankie, then nobody is) and why I think I fall in the definition (as most leftists do, I’ve seen pretty mild social democrats being called “tankies” by liberals)
Plus ultimately these blanket descriptions are pretty useless IMO, you’ll find extremely heated debates between “tankies” themselves on many topics, there’s no consensus, and there are many different ideologies “tankies” subscribe to. It would be like saying that Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians and Greens are all the same thing. We could call them “dronies” maybe.
YES
Everybody to the left of biden is considered a tankie nowdays, and I’m proud of being to the left of (and opposed to) genocide enablers.
We don’t have an USSR to save our asses this time, and the US is siding with the nazis. Yup, history is repeating, as an ever worse tragedy.
Let’s hope the Arab league manages to kick Isn’treal’s ass, the footage from today was terrifying.
He doesn’t support neither socialism nor capitalism, what is he advocating for? Feudalism? Bronze age palace economy?
The Mediterranean has a right to defend itself! Are you anti-seamitic?
For real, I feel like 99.9% of what people say are “AI problems” (datamining, polluting the web) can be attributed mainly to our rotten late-capitalist society and the fact that the entities who are developing said AIs are for-profit companies. In China we see AI used for good, mainly in industry, because it’s actually well-regulated and not entirely left in the hands of oligarchs.
IMO AI (not only GPT chatbots) can be extremely beneficial to society, if just we abolished the profit motive.
As always, fascists are only good at stealing symbolism

All those cars and solar panels that Chinese companies counted on selling in the US must go somewhere. Every other country in the world (excluding the EU, although to a lesser extent than the US) isn’t hell-bent on sanctioning China, their production will be just redirected elsewhere.
And since the US, biggest net importer in the world, just stopped… importing, there will be more goods sought after by less money, AKA more supply (old supply + goods that can’t profitably be sold in the US anymore) but less demand (since the US just passed these new tariffs) and as you know, this is gonna make prices fall, maybe not a drastic fall but still.
Thx, as a reward here’s some other random unsolicited pictures of my cats, to unsubscribe from random pictures of my cats text “STOP”
The black one is the older and is named frippa, my username comes from her
My favorite is remì though, the tabby one
We had an older one called micia (slang for female cat in Italian) but she sadly passed away in February, stopped eating and even the vet couldn’t figure out what was wrong (we had to took her because her previous owner had passed away) she probably wasn’t able to manage the shock, she was old (about 13)
A lemmy instance focused around piracy and other tech stuff, some of their users are pretty good and some of them are even comrades but the mods/admins are, sadly, insufferable radlibs
Lol, you’re (probably) joking but at this point I’ve seen about a dozen people from liberal instances like .world equating lemmy.ml and lemmygrad. I mean we’re still leagues above the average reddit.world user but we are pretty heterogeneous.
What a time to be alive when even the half-neolib half-neofascist lapdog of the US empire manages to be more reasonable than the “necessary evil” that could have been “pushed left” (lmao)
I would argue a peace talk is just common sense at this point - and two thirds of the world agree - but obviously the US needs its forever wars.
No wonder, all far-right projects like his need a common enemy to unite against. If there’s none, just buy one.
I think we need more govt subsidies to green tech and less subsidies to the fossil industry, i don’t care if it’s all a big 8d chess move to make us all speak Mandarin Chinese, the important bit is not dying rn.
