Is it fair to compare Biden vs Trump as the vote between war with Russia vs. war with China? (i.e. each candidate representing a different faction of hawks)

The only one that is saying this is you

No evidence of Havana syndrome brain injury, US studies find - Reuters, 2024-03-18

How could china have handled the NED funded protest in Hong Kong better in your opinion?

You can be a stooge for American imperialism without being actually American

I have only seen it used in reference to people who support dictatorial regimes with socialist aesthetics, mostly MLs.

Pro Tip: Sort by Top All. Anarchists getting called tankie tends to get a lot of upbears because we have anarchist comrades on our instance. We're a left unity instance

I love how you guys have decided that your definitions are the only correct ones.

You're strawmaning hard here, because I never said it's a definition or that it's the only one. It's just my understanding of the term. What part of it is wrong in your opinion? I want to consider it

It's your primary weapon here, for obvious reasons.

Because it's obvious that when you're challenged on your understanding of words you have nothing to say?

Too bad instances can't defederate HB.

Can you please elaborate?

They seem to not understand that they're tankies.

Tankie is a social construct and is used to lazily discredit everyone to the left of bernie. It functions to libs the same way as "woke" functions for chuds. As a term it's basically meaningless to anyone outside of the internet.

That's very open minded of you. Thank u

Uh oh someone sounds upset

Thank you for your valuable comment

You just want me to say more so you can pick it apart, fight, and troll.

If you know what you're saying is pulled out of... thin air, then of course the fear of it getting picked apart is understandably there. You know in advance that you will basically have to go into an argument ("fight") and then, because the fighting aka not writing the check for your claims is making it obvious to everyone else that you indeed pull stuff out of thin air, you get trolled as a consequence.

The very comment I'm replying to is a good example:

You made a vague comment ("You're living in a fantasy world") and got asked for clarification. You get defensive without providing clarification, and justify it by accusing the enquirer of bad faith. You dont even use some personal anecdotal evidence, but with another vague accusation. The fact that you're not amusing yourself to actually give a good faith answer, but make such baseless accustion you end up communicating bad faith on your part.

I find it really hard to not troll you now
