Well, that’s just silly.
I didn’t make the definition
tankie noun A member of the Communist Party of Great Britain who slavishly followed the Kremlin line, agreeing with the crushing of revolts in Hungary and later Czechoslovakia by SOVIET TANKS (capitalization used for emphasis).
This was how the term was first used in the 80s. As of today, the definition has expanded to all “authoritarian communists”.
Nothing about peace yet, sorry.
Words are defined by common use. If the common use of the word “tankie” is to throw it at people who oppose war, then that’s what it means now. You can say it’s defined as being pro- war, but I’ve never seen it used that way.
Indeed. And the common use of the word tankie is “authoritarian communist”
Why are you using an uncommon definition?
Why would you call someone who opposes tanks a “tankie”? Kinda silly.
That’s like calling you a “warmongie”.
Four of the five richest men alive were on stage with Trump, Zuckerberg has always been a massive shitgibbon (and was one of the billionaires on stage with Trump).
Outspending your opponent has 90% or more success rate, they don’t “donate” all of those hundreds of millions of dollars out of charity.
See Super PACs for more details, our democracy has been dead for a long time.
Yes, really! I’ve been called a tankie and a Nazi and worse. Don’t judge what a tankie or Nazi is by insults on the internet, hyperbole and bullshit rule.
Again, your definition is not the standard definition. Tankies love tanks. And Communism. And Stalin. Which is funny, because Stalin wasn’t much of a communist.
I use the standard definition, that’s it. I am not familiar with the tankies you describe, I haven’t met them… Tankies hating tanks seems wrong to me. Back in the day when word originated they loved the T-34 tank and Russia in WW2 and so on.
Where can I find YOUR definition of “tankie”, the peace loving gentle communist who hates tanks? Seriously? And what do you think the “tank” in “tankie” comes from?
He REALLY hates paying employees and wants their pennies in his treasure horde, we get it.
He will be shocked when he discovers the shareholders don’t want to pay him, either. He’ll be like “what?!?! AI doing MY job? This is a travesty!” and then they will have robot security drag him out of the building screaming.
My parents are dead! (runs out of room crying, slams door)
Tankies are “authoritarian communists”, they are not pro peace in any way, they love tanks.
(standard definition, not familiar with the tankies that you describe)
Those in control of the USA are internationalists, too.
They don’t care who “wins”, they profit off of the war itself (and the rebuild for that matter).
They love tankies
The world’s biggest arms dealer is dealing arms?
I’d guess the software has some kind of kill switch, but I’m not a missile engineer
Whelp, this looks like a time for FREEDOM FRIES again.
We will break you
…
The USA has been breaking international treaties for as long as I’ve been alive, and I’m old.
The leopards are going to eat the EUs face, it’s their (usa) only chance to win in our forever war, which is now looking at China long term.
Short term, we will gobble up all of those profits in Europe; the fruit we planted after WWII is almost ready to harvest.
The entire machine is now international and dedicated to profit, and the best way to seize profits is war. USA is world’s arms dealer for a reason, this was always going to be result. All of these “world wide” organizations created by the USA were created with this in mind.
This is my opinion and it is not sanctioned by the UN
You’re focusing your rage on the goons, this is much bigger than MAGA. They’re not hiding.
Check out the Heritage Foundation, and it’s connection to the Council on Foreign Relations (many of them are members of both organizations, these are public listings at their websites). You will see many familiar names.
These are the authors of “Project 25”.
Where do Heritage and CFR get their money from? And so on.
They want you to blame MAGA alone, I’m not defending MAGA, I’m saying don’t stop there. They will just get more goons
We obviously didn’t bomb them enough, they sure are uppity
LAUNCH THE SEVENTH FLEET, GET THE COMMIES
In the USA, this is known as the “old switcheroo”.
Our politicians are infamous for doing the exact opposite of their platform.
For example, Reagan ran on sealing the borders and isolationism, only to declare amnesty for border hoppers and revel in international intervention.
Biden ran on increasing the minimum wage and other working class American concerns. Did he do this? No.
Our major parties aren’t actually concerned with their platforms, that’s performative.
The AI won’t rape the kids though, so we’ll still need some priests on staff
what percentage of your people are unionized?
In USA it’s 10%, and most of those are ironically police and feds what an odd coincidence.
POLAND has better benefits than the USA, longer vacations, health care, and more. We’ve been surpassed by eastern Europe.
But Musk is a trillionaire yaaay
Firearm sales have TRIPLED since 2000, not even counting military equipment, which we make the most of, also.
Every state of the USA is part of the arms industry, even Hawaii. We make bullets, missiles, bombs, and everything else, and ship it all around the world. If there’s a battle or war, we’re making money off of it.
don’t know where you got your information but 2A Americunts are the reason why we’re in the mess we’re in.
Ha! Odds are pretty good the USA arms your country; we are the biggest arms dealer on Earth. Stop buying our weapons if you don’t like it.
You feed the beast, in one way or another.
Awww, it’s okay. Outside? You want to go outside? Good job!!
70% of Americans approve of higher minimum wage and universal health care, too.
It doesn’t matter.
