I think we need more govt subsidies to green tech and less subsidies to the fossil industry, i don’t care if it’s all a big 8d chess move to make us all speak Mandarin Chinese, the important bit is not dying rn.
“Have these gentlemen ever seen a revolution? A revolution is certainly the most authoritarian thing there is; it is the act whereby one part of the population imposes its will upon the other part by means of rifles, bayonets and cannon”

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.
50% of being a Linux user is hate towards Windows so I’d say it fits
This would be true if we lived in a world where salary increases matched inflation. I make ~5% more on paper than I made a couple years ago, yet we had terrible inflation in the eurozone, my salary was effectively cut.
Chad about to become gigachad
They weren’t colonized that’s for sure, they were (mostly) Muslim Arabs in a country where being a Muslim/Arab was normal and didn’t imply you had less rights or straight up didn’t deserve life.
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
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.
Yea, wish we had a green race just like we had a space race during the 1st cold war, at leadt something useful would come out of it.
