This is deranged. What are you talking about.
It’s just garbage meant to get attention.
OP tends to not explain themselves because their discourse is beyond you anyway.
I mean… its all right there. Is there anything specific you dont get?
The left: I think everyone deserves basic needs.
The right: We want to make all non-whites disappear.
The center: These two are the same!
What you’re describing is libertarian vs authoritarian. There are absolutely groups nominally on the left that have displayed those sort of tendencies.
You’re talking about a ideology. Im talking about a propaganda machine.
I don’t know, in this meme you’ve villainized an entire part of the left, while not substantially engaging in any of their substantive critiques - who’s the propagandist again?
Im saying there is inauthentic propaganda coming from the tankie political class. The only villain im concerned with is the one who wants to associate themselves with them and not notice how they are being manipulated.
Its about bad faith.
Have controversial opinions but dont try to prop them up artificially. That creates a soft spot ripe for power vacuums.
The path is to a rug pull. All so one day in the future they can pull the rug and, “oops, darn, nazis again.”
Buddy you are backing up your speculative unfounded political meme with a speculative, unfounded argument.
The world is so mysterious! Nothing can ever be known!
Its all so very clever.
Except, probability will always win out. Do yourself a favor and mitigate the risk in your life.
Nah, /r/theDonald always had a layer of 4chan themed humor over everything. As if they knew they were spouting bullshit but kept it up “for the lols”, and every time someone wandered in and believed their bullshit, it was all the more funny to them that they could so easily steer “normies” how they wanted. Rare Pepe’s, calling eachother {centi}pedes, hell even the term MAGA itself started there. Trump was a meme. “Hey fellow retards, know what’d be funny? If we got that guy on The Apprentice nominated for president. It’ll be funny as shit and we’ll all laugh our dicks off!”
Fascism came from fucking memes, anyone who tells you otherwise either didn’t pay attention to where it came from, or are too embarrassed to admit it, because holy shit is that stupid.
Tankies are something else. They aren’t fueled by 4chan humor. More like weaponized angst. They’re the edgy “umm akshually” kid who grew up with hatred and disgust towards Western culture and society and it poisoned them into a jaded contrarian of an adult. While they wield humor sometimes, it’s always vicious in nature and paints others as inferior. It’s never “hurr hurr, China’s so great, right guys?” it’s more “hurr hurr, all Westerners are idiots and deserve to suffer”.
You just going to completely ignore .ml…
I don’t know what you want me to say, .ml was created by tankies. It was once the largest Lemmy community so it drew a ton of new people which for a while drowned out the tankie rhetoric. Then the mods started to be little more mask off with their leanings, which caused an exodus of users to other instances, leaving behind a collection of tankies, true believers, people who had never heard criticism of the West or socialist ideals before so thought they were learning secret knowledge, and those too apathetic to bother changing instances. When they started getting defederated, even those last two groups started to leave.
You think the_donald was completely un-affiliated with conservatives?
Does that mean the next president will at least be left of center?
Memeing a tankie president would be pretty good, especially since the word has basically lost all meaning outside of “leftist I don’t like” or “any critic of the DNC that doesn’t also criticize Conservatives in the same breath”.
You should talk to a professional man we’re all worried about you
What a waste of time
