    At the end of the day both tankies and libs have decided that one side is the “good” side and so they continually minimise or deny atrocities coming from that side.

    Hopefully over time more people build the intuition that when we talk about power the baseline is “bad” and at best we can be talking about “bad vs worse”.

    After spending all of 2024 cheering for genocide, centrists pretend that they are anti-genocide.

      Imagine defending modern day Russia.

      Like it’s not even the Soviet union any more. It’s just a capitalist nation with a dictator. I just don’t understand why tankies are so obsessed with these modern countries that aren’t even remotely communist anymore. Just authoritarian

        They call it “critical support”, basically the enemy of my enemy (the west) is my friend.

        In theory the critical part is meant to imply they criticise the bad stuff the friend does, and only support the good. The reality is they rarely if ever speak out critically and only show support because being critical hurts their friends ability to do ‘good’.

    I’m sorry, but I am very pro genocide. Against specific bug species. I think it’s genetic. Instinctual. The ones that are too small for me to see, but still bite hard enough to itch? Kill em all I don’t care
