Had some fun with this. Rules:
- When a tankie post comes up, post a legitimate, fair argument. Do not argue in bad faith. No matter how nasty the post may be. Legitimately combat the disinformation there by going into their bubble and posting a sane response.
- Watch the responses come in. Especially if the post is on the tankie triad.
- Don’t feed the trolls. Don’t respond to anything, unless there is actually a legitimate attempt to have a legitimate discussion. Otherwise, start a game of tankie bingo to help prevent yourself from responding to the madness.
Suggestions for expansion welcome.
Yeah, those are some of the reasons I hate it as well
How do you feel about yanks tho? Is there a distinction between the US government and its populace or are they all doomed?
The US is a democratic country that genuinely reflects the interests of their people when it’s time to spread that freedom and democracy to the rest of the world and occupy other countries. Yet when it’s time to introspect about the innocent lives the country has ended, suddenly it takes on the affect of the innocent US soldier who just slaughtered a family because he needed the money for his education and a Camaro. Either yanks live in a democratic country and they’re culpable for the things I listed, or they live in a dictatorship of capital and do nothing but vote in response which is even more embarrassing.
How do average yanks feel about Puerto Ricans? Want to annex us into the dying empire to make our tax money go into bombs that will be used on us and the rest of Latin America? Or think we’re too brown for that so just gonna keep us as a military base to murder people in Venezuela and Cuba forever?
You’re Puerto Rican? Admittedly, I know little about the history of Puerto Rico
the US is also not a democracy, that’s propaganda.
If the US is not a democracy then why do anticommunist “leftists” in the US insist that revolutionary leftists who want to overthrow the anti-democratic government should vote for Genocide Joe or Kamala Harris instead?
And don’t say ‘you can do both’ because voting for the blue fascists is all that’s necessary for half of the country to go back to brunch and forget about politics. It’s an active detriment to the revolutionary cause when Democrats win because the same violence keeps unfolding but there’s no mobilization. Now under Trump, the Renee Nicole Good murder has inspired massive protests and people are joining PSL. Historically this was the case after the murder of George Floyd, also under Trump. But under Biden leftists were told that if we criticized him for being a genocidal nazi we would be aiding the Republicans and mobilization was hindered and neutered as a result.
Because people from the US are generally stupid and indoctrinated from an early age to be loyal consumers who never question or ponder the larger world. They are kept distracted by violence and entertainment and are groomed to be products throughout the entirety of their lives, where even their health is a stream of revenue. It’s so prevalent that they can’t even fathom other countries’ histories, cultures or political leanings, they project a cone of us defaultism. They assume the rest of the world must be two-sided like what you’ve described – It’s frustrating. Like, free healthcare is considered a radical idea in your country, that’s fucked!
The US is not a democracy and never really has been.
Okay, glad we agree and you’re ready to organize the proletariat into armed revolutionary organizations, stop voting for Democratic candidates who do nothing but legitimize their terrible empire, and stop destroying the planet just to make a line keep going up.
The US people will never organise into revolutionaries; they love their subjugation, they love their violence, their entertainment and their products. And the leftists, or whatever kind you want to paint yourself as, are cowardly and weak. You can’t even handle words, and you expect to handle a revolution? The revolution is going to be guts and blood and atrocities tenfold, you’re not going to be a part of it, you’re not going to be a part of this fighting force. Just too young, too delicate.
Nor do I do want the US to organise in said groups anyway, since they won’t ever shut up about it. The rest of the world is sick and tired of your country’s bs and as far as I’m concerned I’m hardpressed to take any yank seriously, including yourself.
