  • I have an irl friend who is a self proclaimed tankie and I don't really know a ton about it. I've asked them before, and their take was "you know how you believe in all the far left freedoms and that stuff and anti billionaire morality? Well I'm like that too and believe it's basically evil, but I just think it should be enforced with an iron fist and literal tanks. Don't agree? Doesn't matter. Fight against it? Dead."

    To my understanding, they very much just don't believe in giving people the choice because people are stupid as hell and will try to corrupt it with bad faith, and so should be iron fisted in bad faith preemptively. Which, to me, is such an extreme and problematic stance. I just didn't know if there's some subtle anti trans stuff as part of being a communist/tankie or what, because when they and I talk politics, we don't super agree on stuff because they're kind of a sith absolutist about it.

  • The real answer is:

    They are too dense to realize haven't realized that what they're doing IS bigoted BECAUSE they've been so deeply in that culture for so long that it's a much deeper question than they realize, and then get caught in the insidious (oh god I'm about to use the term 😭) neo liberal mindset of letting all the hatred and blatant manipulation fly free, unable to consider the problems or times in which they would not allow that stance to themselves, likely because they've never had to and may never have to experience anything like it.

    Or, they literally are just bigoted and being shitty bigots.

  • I don't get it. Is it just because there's a bunch of weenies in the us trying to call it the gulf of the usa or something dumb? Because that gives me the same energy as being mad at work and then going home and beating your spouse who will then leave you and
