How about you primary the bad actors and reform the Democrat party, and then ask leftists to vote for it.

traitorous entity

Yeah mate, that’s the problem with the modern Republicans: they’re not loyal American Patriots anymore, like they were in the days of George Bush, Ronald Reagan, or Richard Nixon.

The current Democratic party is actively genocidal

Imagine being the hostile to countering lies

Jesus Christ, get a grip. They’re just down votes.

There’s no such thing as a source with no bias

“I guess I’ll block it now”

Proceeds to not block it

No kidding

Want to try that sentence again, but intelligible?

It literally isn’t though, because what they said isn’t true.

That’s 100% not true, but I wouldn’t expect honesty from you to start with

Least insufferable .worlder

They literally caught you lying to win political points, and you think they need to touch grass?

The whole point is that there isn’t really any clear cut difference between “tankies” and “actual leftists” because it’s a pejorative term that each person using it defines differently based on their own personal politics. Is critical support for Vietnam tankie? Cuba? Makhnovshchina? Ukraine? The Nordic Model? The Black Panthers? You’ll never get consistent answers from people yelling about tankies.

one takes them seriously because the things they profess tend to be silly and they usually have that obnoxious College freshman master-debater energy.

Ironically, this better describes the people who rail against “tankies” better than it describes anyone else.

You are rather quick to assume I am one of the “pro-genocide people”.

Oh, I’m not assuming.

I try not to “both-sides”

"I try to not both-sides this, please ignore that I just did and am about to do so again.

I was trying (poorly) to show that the same standard was not being applied equally.

“Don’t you mean all lives matter?”

pretty emotional topic.

It be an emotional topic usually makes people more sympathetic towards the victims of genocide, not more inclined to start going “but what about both sides!”

Anyway, good luck fighting against everyone until they agree with you.

Go back to reddit, you insufferable loser.

I’d prefer you remember that your double doesn’t define objective “normal”

Unfortunately, they are.

How self absorbed do you have to be to announce that?

“During the cold war, the anticommunist ideological framework could transform any data about existing communist societies into hostile evidence. If the Soviets refused to negotiate a point, they were intransigent and belligerent; if they appeared willing to make concessions, this was but a skillful ploy to put us off our guard. By opposing arms limitations, they would have demonstrated their aggressive intent; but when in fact they supported most armament treaties, it was because they were mendacious and manipulative. If the churches in the USSR were empty, this demonstrated that religion was suppressed; but if the churches were full, this meant the people were rejecting the regime’s atheistic ideology. If the workers went on strike (as happened on infrequent occasions), this was evidence of their alienation from the collectivist system; if they didn’t go on strike, this was because they were intimidated and lacked freedom. A scarcity of consumer goods demonstrated the failure of the economic system; an improvement in consumer supplies meant only that the leaders were attempting to placate a restive population and so maintain a firmer hold over them. If communists in the United States played an important role struggling for the rights of workers, the poor, African-Americans, women, and others, this was only their guileful way of gathering support among disfranchised groups and gaining power for themselves. How one gained power by fighting for the rights of powerless groups was never explained. What we are dealing with is a nonfalsifiable orthodoxy, so assiduously marketed by the ruling interests that it affected people across the entire political spectrum.”

That’s the reddit mindset: being as rude, condescending, and smug as humanly possible is fine, but a naughty word is just uncivil.

Not you, tho. You’re convinced that what you believe is correct.

Yeah, as opposed to believing what I believe is incorrect…

Do you even understand the concept of other minds?
