Lmao imagine calling Russia socialist where average pension is a rusty button and some window cleaner.
“You guys are getting window cleaner?”
I guess they’re just… What, liberating Ukraine?
Definitely not annexing it for the past 12 years, certainly not invading and slaughtering civilians.
Only the uskkka does that. And also Israel. And also anyone who disagrees with me is a CIA nsa shill chat bot mouthpiece pushing nazi pedophile propaganda
In my most recent interaction, I have since been informed that the CIA is now a reputable source and isn’t doing propaganda. So TIL I guess lol
Thank you for standing up for the goof name of the culinary Institute of America
Edit I said what I said
Did you see that Jeff Arcuri bit recently too?
Who?
They just have different meanings for words. Imperialistic in tankie terminology just means western.
China, consistantly expanding it’s influence into sovereign states and claiming those states we’re never soverign. “They’re not imperialist, they’re just leftist!” He’s deserving of a “fell for it again” award, but the MAGA crowd has forced us into a supply shortage.
Brother, put down the kool-aid for a second. I know America fucking sucks, but the answer is not ANOTHER Imperialist nation with a fascist dictator for a leader, whose economy is built entirely on slave labour of marginalized racial groups.
I feel like Cowbee’s opinions only work if you strictly refuse to view reality. It’s very “the sky is purple because alien’s wear silly hats.” Lots of confident, fancy pandering while completely disregarding simply reality.
Even if that sound farfetched, just have to look at what they’re doing with south china sea.
He espouses Russian talking points at every opportunity yet says he considers them right wing and he’s a communist but Russia isn’t communist as it is capitalist but also Russia is always right etc.
Cowbee is one of those useful idiots that the party would send to the camps the moment they get into power.
When you read theory more than you read history
Cowbee has… interesting takes.
Also in that one thread where a dude said that dictatorships are bad regardless of fash or tankie and so many people took issue with it claiming it was a both sides argument and false equivalency. That is where I found the cowbee comments.
It is also sad how much tankie rot is on lemmy.world according to that comments section.
“dictatorships are bad”
“now slow down there, pardner, there’s some nuance here you ain’t seein’”
Lolwut
Imagine being pro dictatorship, or even trying to justify why your dictatorship is actually good.
As someone who commented there, I feel the split in opinion is illustrated by the hypothetical statement: “I oppose pedophiles, whether they’re in the White House or doing drag.”
A normal response would be “Yeah, okay, but why’d you bring drag into this?”
Claiming that the *.ml issue was with decrying dictatorships instead of conflating them with right-wing fascists, is disingenuous.
They have horseshoed around so that they’re rubbing shoulders with fascists, but we don’t have to (pretend to?) be ignorant to catch them slipping.
That’s why what they really are is campist. They don’t care about left or right wing, they’ve already prepicked the Good Camp and no matter what the camp does, it’s good.
If that sounds like MAGA, that’s because it’s the same political stance. Just the Good Camp is different.
How think here.dictators are bad, but what if I was a dictator? Dun bum pum!
Yeah I’m in that thread lol
I blocked that psychopath a while ago
