Capitalism rule

Tankie: Cuts the legs off of tall people to not let them watch anything, while party authorities take the cut off legs to step on.

My guy, you’re just describing capitalism.

Yeah, horseshoe theory.

Right, just like China’s government

shitting on tankies ≠ shilling capitalism

Unfortunately that depends on the circle you’re in. A lot of dumbass libs think that all leftist ideologies are strictly authoritarian.

lenin literally described the USSR under his rule as “State Capitalism” so yes!

In b4 I’m called a tankie

Why do all the 40 year old boomer Lemmy users call anything to the left of the most moderate Democrat “tankie”?

40 year old boomer

Wrong age class. Boomers are 60+

“OK, boomer” attacks a mindset, not a generation

Another example is a pretty big meme from 5 years ago, the 30 year old boomer.

A bit like how anybody further right of Biden is often branded a Nazi by the left, regardless of whether their policies actually resemble Fascism.

Politics has turned heavily toxic and partisan.

Moderates are still a large demographic in the US but completely unrepresented in the media and in government.

Edit: so yeah I agree. I’m personally not likely to label a moderate a Nazi, but I’ll stay vigilant about it.

Millennial, thank you very much. And, no, as an Anarchist I can definitely say that tankies are to the right of me. By like twenty parsecs.

Also, this.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.

I do not see it using for leftists in general. Just the ones that for some reason support Russia and China

Exactly. Those boomer posters just call you a communist.

Why would you be called a tankie? I don’t see any leftist authoritarianism here.

Nothing tankie about this. Do conservatives just use it as a kind of slur because they heard progressives using it?

I’ve not really heard conservatives use it, mostly lefties who want to distance themselves as far as they can from it.

It’s (basically) used to describe communists that still support authoritarian regimes such as the ussr, China, and north korea

I didn’t realize watching baseball is a right

The Commons are a right. Doesn’t matter that capitalists have attempted to do away with public property, by replacing it with private property, by illegally “purchasing” public property and natural resource rights for trillionths of pennies on the dollar, that’s theft. Private property shouldn’t exist without extreme regulations. Only public and personal property should exist with minimal regulations.

It isn’t but damn do we need to enforce it with violence that you’re not supposed to stand outside the stadium?

Furthermore… Couldn’t it be? Local taxpayers literally build these stadiums.

The image cuts off the billionaire sitting on top of the large stack of boxes, with each hand resting on boxes stacked slightly higher on either side.

Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
