    I think a lot of it is failure of imagination.

    I give tankies a lot of shit, maybe deservedly, but the most important difference between your average authoritarian tankie and a shit lib isn’t basic compassion¹ or a willingness to resist¹, its that they can fucking imagine something other than what an authority figure offers them. They can comprehend and voice the word “no.” when theres nothing on offer they can tolerate. Thats the difference between a comrade I dont always agree with and a lib.

    Libs mostly can’t, I dont think. And they’re angry about it, they hate not having an option they like, but the cops in their heads are too strong. They will pick from the options authority presents, even if its flavors of genocide, because their morality is entirely about choosing from options presented as ‘strong’ to avoid conflict.

    This is why they always betray everyone and side with the blustery fascists.

    ¹just not the most important one

          You joined 15 hours ago; flock directly to anarchist spaces and then start lambasting tankies which is a majority of the users here. We have a few anarchists; but they are allies of tankies and communists…not enemies. In this short period of time, you’re not going to elaborate on that either? “Not the time?”

          We support China. We support the Soviet Union and the DPRK. We critically (important word) support Russia. You’re free to have your disagreements but all of this combined is a supermassive red flag.

            Read the rest of what I said. Literally the rest of what I said. Like every word other than the ones quoted. Promise you come out of that post looking pretty good on balance.

            And yes, I’m a Russian bot literally robocop, but with posting instead of punching.

              I did. No one is accusing you of being a bot or fed. It’s just strange. I was asking for more clarification or perhaps am curious on what “issues” you differ on.

              If you want to not say anything, that’s fine. Have a good day to ya then.
