so happy for liberals on the internet to finally have their own thought terminating cliche in “tankies”, the jealousy for “woke” must have been overwhelming
Lol how nice you can just label any word you don’t like as a “thought terminating cliche” or was it just an “Ill defined term” or was it just because “authoritarianism is ill defined”
In any case I used it to describe a group of people who are quite literally authoritarian as described here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie
Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support or defend acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the occurrence of the events thereof.
insomuch as USAID was a tool for exerting soft power by lifting up global communities and spreading goodwill for America through humanitarian effort, I support what it was, I didn’t want to see it gutted. insomuch as China is exerting soft power by building infrastructure and investing in industry, it’d be nice to see the US exert a little soft power against us citizens from time to time.
Yes, similar goals, differing execution
Are you talking about China’s belt and road initiative? Lol it’s all about soft power and that’s what they’re after, resources are just a happy bonus.
The US’s USAID is essentially the equivalent but yet the tankies will deride against it all day and even cheer Drump and Muskrat on because they’re doing something they want (dismantling it) but in the same breath, will defend Belt and Road as some greater altruistic good
Oh yea, replacing a near-authoritarian globally dominant country with another full-authoritarian country. What could possibly go wrong!
Some people just want to watch the world burn
In a town painted Red, not so far away, Lived the Projecters who had much to say. PROJECTING their faults with the greatest of ease, PROJECTING their guilt like a strange heart disease!
“Those blues over there are the ones who are bad! They do all the things that make everyone sad!” But the truth of the matter, quite funny to see, They were PROJECTING exactly what they happened to be!
When caught with their hands in the cookie display, “It’s the Blues who eat cookies!” they would hastily say PROJECTING their actions with thunderous noise, Using PROJECTION as one of their favorite toys!
Oh, the PROJECTING they did was a sight to behold, The stories theyd spin and the tales that were told! PROJECTING their fears and their schemes on the rest, While doing those things they PROJECTED with zest!
And would they admit it? Oh no, not at all! They’d PROJECT even harder and stand very tall. For PROJECTING protects them from looking within At the truth of their actions, their very own sin!
Actually, it was making the rounds on tiktok as early as the 29th from what I could tell
Here’s the extracted video
The last 24 hours have brought a parade of humiliation for the world’s richest edgelord
Damn, a CNN journalist wrote this? Are we sure‽ LMAO
30% of people are legitimate cultists.
Oh hey look, someone actually doing something lol
What Sony could do is patch restrictive DRM software into all their games that checks the hardware info and fails to boot if you’re on “an xbox”.
They’d definitely do that, they’ve already used what amounted to a Rootkit for DRM in the mid-2000s, so your idea wouldn’t even be the worst they’ve done lolol
Wow, how prestigious of a law firm that can’t even fight against something so blatantly illegal
They’re putting a LOT of faith in those arteries holding up that long LMFAO
DO IT.
Shut this bitch down, I know Muskrat wants it to happen with speculation that it would aid him or w/e but historically government shutdowns have always hurt Repubs. Musky is also an idiot, who thinks he’s an evil genius, so the chance it’ll entirely backfire is pretty high
I really hope he doesn’t actually believe that and this is just a public statement for pressure, because this is Drump we’re talking about, his fingers are probably permanently crossed LMAO
Ha, the leopards are eating the biggest faces of them all. The tech industry that played no small part in getting him elected LMAO
Huh, I’m actually kinda surprised, this is John Deere the tractor company right?
Am I missing something, or is the whole “article” really only a couple sentences long lol
Just yellow is fine, it was fine, it was a single icon that was still representative of all IMO
Even a broken clock is right twice a day
lol, I’m from a time when “official mod support” was but a dream
