If you look hard enough around Caleb Maupin/patsoc circles, you might find examples of that.
You joke but that’s why Stalin supported the KMT. (European Imperialism)
Yeah man shoot against tankies while your country is ruled by zionist pedophile warmongers.
I feel like a massive portion of people are missing the point of this post and jump to the conclusion that OP is some Zionist uncle Sam loving conservative that hates anything slightly left of centre.
Nah, they didn’t miss the point at all, they’re just intentionally acting in bad faith.
Imperlialism!
something something something ALAMO!
you mean liberals ?
In honor of labor day and all those who sacrificed for better working conditions I’ve been thinking of ways to make our voices heard. I think protesting at FAA air traffic facilities is a great option. If we keep controllers from accessing their jobs the air space shuts down. This would be a huge blow to Trump!
Let me explore how we organize these protests. The beauty is most of these employees are sick of going to work because they HATE TRUMP! They just need to see the public is on their side and we need to give them a reason to not show up for work! Air traffic controllers think their duty is to go to work and pretend everything is normal, if we protest right in front of them they will know the public wants them to act!
We will also not hurt the individual. The air traffic centers where there is a higher volume of controllers are paid very well. They also have great union benefits. Including leave pay called “weather leave”, which is usually time paid for absence from work due to adverse conditions. Well protests right outside their workplace is an adverse condition and the union will make sure the federal government pays the individual if they can’t make it to work!
So how do we organize this. I think we should target the air traffic centers “ARTCC”. These are large radar facilities where 100+ employees work every day. They have one gate access point. You can start off small, just on the sidewalk with signage expressing that serving Trump is shitting on the Constitution (this is a common debate between federal employees now) This can be as small as 1 person just out there on the sidewalk peacefully holding up a sign. Totally legal.
Now if we have enough numbers we can start “crossing the street” protests. Pedestrians legally are allowed to cross the street in front of the entrances to these centers and we can utilize slow walking speeds to delay entry to employees. Usually this should be done between 6-9am and 2-6pm as those are shift change hours.
Finally a lot of controllers may find other reasons to not show up to work. Emotional distress, lack of sleep, or fatigue are all Union protected reasons controllers could get PAID time off while we the people protest against the trump regime. Once the administration is deposed the worker individual can return to work normally with little impact to their financial situation!
So now the locations of the centers:
This is the issue, they are typically located outside city areas. So I don’t expect huge numbers of people showing up but like I said, 1 or 2 people protesting is still worth it! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._Air_Route_Traffic_Control_Centers?wprov=sfla1
So this is my protest idea. It’s one way to affect Trump adversely, a lot of federal employees are sick of this shit, THEY JUST NEED A REASON SO LET’S SHOW THEM WE WANT THEM TO FUCK TRUMP OVER
So you read all this and you’re still thinking “oh well nothing near me and I can’t do much” Well you probably do have a FAA airport near you with a control tower, you can protest there, or many other agencies that are run by the federal government. Finally you can copy this and spread it. You can edit it if you need to but just spread this idea.
Life in the USA cannot continue to go on as if this is all normal, something has to break! It’s Labor day weekend as I write this, let’s demonstrate labor still has the fucking power!
The military bases doing the imperialism are named after those guys and what the Confederacy wanted to do if they won the war was take over Cuba and Venezuela and rename the Gulf of Mexico the American Sea. America is what happens when you aren’t a tankie and quit Reconstruction.
yellow Michael Parenti about critical support:
And those who demand instant perfection, the day after the revolution, they get up and say “Are there civil liberties for the fascists? Are they going to be allowed to have their newspapers, and their radio programme? Are they going to be able to keep all their farms?” The passion that some of our liberals feel the day after the revolution, the passion and concern they feel for the fascists—the civil rights and civil liberties of those fascists who were dumping and destroying and murdering people before—now the revolution has got to be perfect! It’s got to be flawless! Well, that isn’t my criteria! My criteria is, what happens to those people who couldn’t read? What happens to those babies who couldn’t eat—that died of hunger? And there, that’s why I support revolution. The revolution that feeds the children gets my support! Not blindly, not unqualified. And the Reaganite government that tries to stop that kind of process, that tries to keep those people in poverty and illiteracy and hunger—that gets my undiluted animosity and opposition.
hahaha, HaHaHa, HAHAHA! The origin story for both the original Hexbear and Lemmygrad community is being banned from reddit for “promoting political violence” for John Brown memes and saying Sherman’s march to the sea was good. Perfect case of projection.
More like 19th century liberals: “We have to find a proper compromise with the slavers. I hate all of these tankie
RussianUnion bots saying this is about slavery. We all know this is about states rights and freedom!”Hey buddy, this isn’t reddit, we can mention how John Brown is objectively a Saint in any religion that may exist!
This meme is about modern morons who defend anything “anti-west”!
Liberal zionist hasbara being like “opposition to Epstein Fury is only for tankie anti-west morons”.
Karl Marx was alive during the civil war. We know what he and his fellow communists thought about it. In fact, some of his fellow Communists were Forty-Eighters: German Radicals who were exiled after the failed revolutions of 1848, many of whom fought in the civil war.
One of them was August Willich, an ardent Communist who thought Marx of all people was too conservative. A “Tankie” of his day.
The German Communists, like Willich, who fought in the American Civil War believed that the war against slavery, and in the side of the Union, was a Social Revolution against the reactionary landed gentry of the south.
Many Forty-Eighters settled in Southwest, Ohio. If you go to the rapidly gentrifying Cincinnati neighborhood of Over The Rhine, it’s called that because it was originally made up of forty-eighter German immigrants, who became active participants in the underground railroad, and helped set up social programs to educate freed slaves, and provide them with housing and such.
So the only person lacking critical thinking here is you OP. You’ve made up a guy in your head, to get mad at.
lol, modern tankies have nothing to do with Marx.
Y’all really can’t help yourselves but to come into every anti-tankie post in the fediverse to call the OP stupid, huh?
to call the OP stupid
When you make stupid posts, people are gonna think you’re fucking stupid
There’s folk who can’t help but make anti-tankie posts in the fediverse, which specifically and directly are requests for that kind of responsive content.
Oh friend, you have this wrong, I agree 100%, sorry for not spelling it out! This meme is about the blind modern day teamist support for any “anti-west” regime, no matter how vile.
Don’t talk down to me. You made up a guy to get mad at. There is no human being on earth who holds the position you claim “Tankies” hold.
Delete this post.
Delete this post.
Nah, this meme is about the Russia-supporting dorks we see so much of. You don’t want to see more jokes about losers who twist themselves into intellectually and morally bankrupt shapes to defend authoritarianism, block button’s right there, because I’m gonna keep clowning on em :)
You’re not clowning, you’re trolling and spreading lies and misinformation about people and disrupting discourse.
Huh maybe that is what it is. As a liberal in recent years the outlets for hate have become increasingly policed. You can’t make jokes about LGBTQ or disabled or women or even religious people any more. But you people still feel that hate, that strong desire to hate on people, but now it needs new outlets since the familiar ones are policed. So your “clowning” needs new targets, any target really. I think I’m onto something here.
It’s like you people need to shit badly, and are running down the street and looking for any excuse to find someone “vile” to shit on. You just can’t function differently. So to you the need to shit is just so much more important than arguing based on logic or truth or facts or being polite to people who think differently. It’s just that everything turns into shit in your head and your mouth is like an asshole with verbal diarrhea.
Thank you so much you helped me tremendously to understand people with your kind of problem.
We met different people then
So why are you listening unquestioningly to team pedophile and team genocide?
I am not OP but a Black anarchist vanguard.
I wouldn’t mention the latter occasionally because you’re still using lemmy, so you can’t see my «Politics» label.
I sat down to review all your historical assertions without a single citation. Meaning, I won’t cite back if you don’t.
Are there Achtundvierziger today, or similar vanguard parties?
Godric maybe projecting the trends a sees from camp threadiverse comments & posts, but do we even have a contemporary vanguard party doing praxis? PSL legitimately doesn’t count, so if you bring them as an example, we have nothing further to discuss. You can also work with Godric to end campist rhetorizing moving forward. Whenever you both see campism, hold them accountable. I believe all of us🧵 want to end campism. I in particularly want to see Dengism邓理论 gone forever.
Be aware that I use this instance exactly because I have given up on 习
. So honestly don’t bring it up.I am open for anything else.
Any additional questions?
Yeah, what in the ever living fuck are you talking about? This AI listicle-ass comment is genuinely illegible to me. I don’t understand what you’re trying to say
You’ve never seen an ordered list?
Want me to essay it?
I totally skimmed what you had written as it was pretty inchoherent. If your politics have become so esoteric that Lemmy users can’t parse them, that’s a ‘you’ problem and you might want to examine it.
Like, the barrier to entry of Lemmy filters users here such that: most people here tend to have above average intelligence and reading comprehension.
So, you’re either posting AI crap, or have gotten so twisted on some kind of propaganda that you can’t meaningfully comminciate with others. If you’re actually human you shoild probably unplug from your political ideology source and talk to an old wise hippy or something.
The ordered list in that comment serves no purpose, as the items are not even properly grouped. It just hurts readability.
They are grouped by topics 1 respondent, 2 politics, 3 literacy confirmation, 4 thesis, 5 warning, 6 intersection check, 7 commentary, 8 openness to dialogue
So, at the very least:
- 1 and 2 pertain to the same topic. 2 even continues the same sentence.
- 4 and 5 should be grouped together, as 5 refers to 4.
- 6 and 7 should be grouped together. In part because they both are just regurgitation of propaganda made by y the same people that sold you on Nayirah’s testimony, Iraq WMDs and the like. (Also, have to chuckle at the “campism” but when you very openly engage in pro-NATO campism.)
- Just using standard paragraphs and not an ordered list would be more readable, since you are not enumerating anything, nor is there a good case for referring to each of these items by the numbers outside of the conversation about how useless the ordered list is here.
1 differentiates from op, 2 outlines my politics which may also differ from op. Continued sentences is something everyone does, no?
I can def. combine4&5, but will SpookyBogMonster keep quiet about point 4 if 5 is the only choice?
6&7 need to be separated, as 6 is my intersection for Godric’s plea to end campist rhetorics, not my personal antidengist praxis.
you very openly engage in pro-NATO campism
whence?
nor is there a good case for referring to each of these items by the numbers outside of the conversation
brevity, citation, referencing, value, formatting, etc…
I’ll edit an essay format you then.
A lot of people in the west think that Communists/Socialists are all leftwing, when there’s plenty of conservative traditionalist Communists.
There just more modern and outside the us, in places like China, Africa, Asia, and South America.
What liberals think tankies think:
The Confederacy fought the US, so that means I like them
What tankies actually think:
The US is the Confederacy and that’s why I hate it
What tankies actually think:
Wait, why the fuck should anyone care what tankies think?
OBVIOUSLY we should care because it’s the internet and loud minorities dominate here, skewing our perception of reality and what political opinions are worth debating today, despite being fringe and unfeasible IRL /s
Johnson was able to reintegrate the planters into the political establishment. Unfortunately, John Wilkes Booth won.
ya that Neo Slavery video by knowing better helped to open my eyes as to just how badly the americans luuuived slavery and racism truthfully. Same tjing with ‘Some More News’ video about ‘Systematic Racism Doesnt Exist’
Very few textbooks cover this topic of what happened to Black and Indigenois people from 1867-1968 and even after that.
ITT: It’s better if USA balkanized
Gee, I wonder who are trying to advocate for this? Surely Russia and China who are attacking Ukraine and encroaching an entire body of ocean, respectively, aren’t the ones with an army of online trolls who are promoting this.
“Everyone I don’t agree with is a Russian bot” 🤡
You and this platform aren’t as important as you think.
*paid Russian shills and useful idiots want US to collapse to promote Russia and China own imperialism.
Happy?
You and this platform aren’t as important as you think.
Who cares about the platform? Unless you have superiority complex because you are speaking from well funded St Petersburg Research Institute, comrade?
Unfortunately USA works hard on the collapse on their own. 130% debt to GDP? WTF is this, Greek development strategy? On top of stupid trade wars and neglecting renewable energy sector…
Yes Americans are doing it on their own, but the usual suspects are accelerating it through hybrid warfare for obvious reasons. The Far East will become vulnerable to Chinese domination and Europe will become more vulnerable to Russian aggression (although I think even after the conflict in Ukraine, Russia will become second to China).
Europe will become more vulnerable to Russian aggression
Russian economy is fucked, they burned trade bridges left and right, sent their youth to die in meaningless war in Ukraine got trade sanctioned by most of civilized world, meanwhile China develops renewables and nuclear to reduce dependence on Russian oil exports. Russia is never going to recover.
China is growing to be the next leading global superpower whether we want it or not
Yeah, China will dominate. Democratic middle powers should prepare for a new world.
“Oh no, China gonna kill all if American hegemony over” 😂
No but ask Philippines, India, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea what could happen to them should communist China dominates. Even ask Vietnam, a country who should in theory align with China.
Keep simping for your team, comrade simperialist.
…They said ‘communist China’
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GCf1obSZ334&pp=ygUPYnVyeWluZyBkZW5naXNt.
Thats how you know they have a negative IQ!
You tell us what could happen to them.
Of course simperialists such as yourself will never ask their victims and the people they want to dominate.
Roflmao what the fuck are you saying, that I should just phone call their presidents? Are you okay?
Gee, only Russian and Chinese bots could advocate for the Good Thing. Everyone that disagrees with me must be a Russian/Chinese bot.
only Russian and Chinese imperialists could advocate for the Good Thing
FTFY
No, broooo, trust me broooo, the nondemocracies that rival the world’s biggest democracy would never try to dishonestly influence voters, trust me brooooooooooo
the world’s biggest democracy
💀💀💀
India, right? 🤔
He calls if the ‘world’s biggest democracy’ but many Indians are not happy about what the Indian goverrnmet is doing.
Many Indians still live paycheque to paycheque and also India is still involvedd in Unequal Exchange with many of their trading partners meaning that most Indians dont eveng et most of the lahourbthey work for. And also there is Kashmiri people who DEFINITELY dont like the Indian government. And also Nagaland!
What is he talking aboiut?
The “world’s biggest democracy”? really? how can anyone with even a modicum of awareness still believe this in 2026 ?
“The world’s biggest democracy” 🤣. You have a two-party system, both of which advocate for the same foreign policy.
In the last century, could we do a comparison of the wars that “the world’s biggest democracy” engaged in, and look at how many of them were self-defense and how many of them were for imperialism? And comparing that to China and Russia might be a fun game as well.
Sure, the other two non-democracies you simp on is so much better and not engaging their own imperialist agenda and align with your own purported beliefs.
Find me one comment or post of mine where I “simped” for any country, I dare you.
I don’t engage with the “Chinese imperialist agenda” and shit because it’s so unserious, especially looking at what the U.S. has done EVERYWHERE. Have you fucking seen what life is like in Cuba, just because of U.S. sanctions and oil blockade? Do you know of the concentration camps that the U.S. used to torture completely innocent Arabs? Do you know just how much suffering America’s 9/11 craze caused?
And this is just contemporary, and I’m not listing everything.
Nobody is denying American imperialism. The question is, do you acknowledge Russian and Chinese imperialism?
“Do you condemn Hamas”-ass question.
No I don’t. I actually couldn’t care less. Do what I said in my original reply and you’ll find out why.
Tankie anthem that will get you banned from reddit and .world for promoting political violence.
Hellfire!I legitimately forgot what a banger that song is! Something I haven’t heard in years, but somehow I know every line, hahahaha
They’re technically correct. The British never stopped calling the American Revolution a rebellion; the difference is completely subjective. That said, fuck the Confederates, those bitches lost, so the leftovers need to suck it up and move on.
