Tankies are what happens when kids start snorting totalitarianism at a young age. Heartbreaking!
Can’t help but think they’d be singing a different tune had they grown up in any of the Warsaw pact countries in the 80s.
I mean, I get it. Capitalism has some pretty dark corners and it ain’t great for the average person, but holy fuck, the stock market didn’t invent greed and selfishness. That motherfucker been with us since we were cavemen. There’ll always be some fucker taking your shit.
Indeed. How dare people have a different interpretation of geopolitical events? Don’t they know that world events are all straightforward cartoonish good vs evil storylines where the good guys are 200% good and the bad guys are 300% bad?
There is only one interpretation of an event like one country invading and stealing territory from another.
Russia invaded Ukraine and stole Crimea.
Yeah, the Iraq war wasn’t that bad either, Saddam was asking to be invaded. There were lots of grounds to prevent the unification of Vietnam too, you need to look at the geopolitical interpretations of the event /s
Good job proving my point by posting examples of popular positions in the US that turned out to be bullshit. So yeah, the different interpretations turned out to be right. If this was 2003, I’m sure I’d be shouted down, mocked, down-voted, and called a “tankie” (or, I suppose “terrorist lover” to be more accurate to the time) for saying we shouldn’t invade Iraq because clearly the only correct interpretation is that Saddam has weapons of mass destruction.
So you’re okay with having nazis and pedos to encourage “different interpretation”?
What’s wrong with this comment section is that most of the people chiming in have an opinion wholly formed by the nightly news program they watch and nothing else. I’d rather have universal health care than spend a trillion dollars every year policing ten other countries, personally.

The US spends more per-capita on healthcare than almost every other country. Making sure a free nation isn’t overrun by Russian invaders is not the reason the US healthcare system sucks.
