On Lemmy? Because Reddit sucks.
On this post? Because it appeared in All and I think leftists are fun to argue with for the same reason I argue with conservatives. I like occasionally reminding myself of how horseshit political thought is outside of social liberal circles
I mean, let's take you. You're literally celebrating being a wumau tankie. It's basically a self-parody at this point.
Do we tell them, or let them figure out at the Biden booth?
If you want to behave like a redditor, go back to reddit.
Show us on the doll where Putin touched you.
I mean I object to his imperialist invasion of Ukraine. You don't, then?
I object to your mishandling of the word 'imperialism'
If you call Russia imperialist do you have a consistent definition for imperialism? Whatever Russia’s doing the US is the hegemonic empire. They’ve invaded so many more countries, done countless coups, imposed punitive economic measures, extracted resources and stolen way more territory than the Russian federation. Same with Europe and Canada. How about you deal with the log in your eye before pointing out the splinter in someone else’s.
Lemmygrad users typically take a position of critical support to Russia on the war since U.S./NATO is not the good guy here.
Search up Euromaidan if you’re interested in how this all started in 2014
How can you say “tankie” with a straight face? It’s such a childish, meaningless, and unserious word.
even since liberals started using the word "tankie," it's lost all of its power as an insult
As though it had any power as an uncommon insult used by trots of all people. It had as much power as their newspapers.
