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”

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.

The Mediterranean has a right to defend itself! Are you anti-seamitic?

No wonder, all far-right projects like his need a common enemy to unite against. If there’s none, just buy one.

They’re on that killing whistleblowers and making weapons that murder innocents grindset

Well, they’re doing it, and there are (at least, that we know of) 8 US military bases and over 11k US military personnel on Italian soil, they killed civilians with impunity more than one time.

For example: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1998_Cavalese_cable_car_crash

They’re usually tried in US courts where they’re handed a slap on the wrist and Italian courts can’t do anything about it.

Hell naw, fuck Microsoft 🖕

50% of being a Linux user is hate towards Windows so I’d say it fits

😐

The fact that a worker who barely makes ends meet pays 10-20 times the taxes Amazon pays is… Fascinating in a dark way.

Similar to feudal peasants that used to pay up in the form of free labor and produce, while their noble overlords enjoyed massive privileges and zero taxes.

Chad about to become gigachad

Well he was world famous, I’m not from the US myself but most genX and older (~40+) knew about him and his trial at least superficially

We should reject the dichotomy, between 99% Hitler and 100% Hitler we must choose to actually change things and not be passive in front of atrocities. No sympathy for either one of the two sadistic parties of war.

His plan A wasn’t even to escape to Russia, the EU and USA blocked the Ecuadorian plane who was trying to rescue him.

Around 2.000 no kidding

The communist party in Cuba (like every other party) can’t “advertise” itself, it’s in the constitution ffs. If you wanted to pick a socialist country to portray as a “one party scary dictatorship” Cuba is the least fit. Cuba is a zero-party democracy in a way.

Half the comments be like:

China has fast internet

But at what cost?

There are cases in which the status quo kills way more in the long term than a revolution would in the short term, I agree with you that a war, expecially a civil war fought expecially on national soil brings misery and destruction to the nation, but it is sometimes a necessary evil in the short term in order to avoid a way bigger evil in the long run. To make another Italian example, the fascist regime killed hundreds of thousands of people, 120.000 innocents died only in Lybia during the deportation of the cyrenaican people, that’s less than all of the deaths in the Italian Civil War!

didn’t say that all revolutions are bad. It’s usually a mixed bag, some good, some bad

I think we agree on this one, I thought you meant revolution was inherently evil. Better to clarify and argument further nevertheless, For posterity. Peace.
