Thank you. That is a good definition. I personally am very careful not to judge others stances on stuff. That goes double for other leftists. I find slurs tend to dehumanize others instead of understanding them. But I do understand the frustration over people who seem to get it and then suddenly defends attack on civilians and the like.

This position has resulted in people calling me a tankie here on lemmy.

Would it be too much to ask of you come with an example instead of just a definition?

The term tankies always confuses me. It seems to mean something different for anyone who uses it. Could you please give an example

That is a very question, I haven’t got a clue :D

I need a new coat for one and a leather mankini with spikes for the other. But otherwise yeah

It is good advice, thank you. I hardly dare to. Several thousand hours has gone into Rimworld already

It is clear she has her skill from painting miniatures

Rimworld, always Rimworld

In short they made a sale commercial for nazi games with symbols in guise of “slavic” and"pagan" symobolism, then withdrew the commercial from Germany because nazism is illegal there. But only made a half arse apology after they got a customer backlash. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GOG.com

…And support pro nazi propaganda

Mayday like the rest of the world

Not the first one of its kind, but it is the wildest one I have seen in a long time

I am pretty sure USA stuff happens in a parallel timeline. The dankest timeline or something, maybe the darkest, I dunno. I think the timeline broke around Georg Bush’s infamous ranch speech: “What do we know about these facts” etc.

Oh we are ‘;.;’

How is this world news?

Based on this thread I think I will stay my horses. No fun in that kind worry for what would have been a once in a life time experience.

Also I find it interesting I get 7 downvotes for answering OP in good faith. Lemmy is not Reddit and I am happy for it, but there are a lot of trenches here

Some of us are just tired of western people not wanting to get a little nuance about none western countries. And the instance you admit that ofcourse no place is perfect you get hit with. “See x is bad, communism can’t work in reality.” It is tiresome and eventually I end up defaulting to standard answers or blocking people if they are rude.

On top of that I do think it is amazing how for instance India, China and Vietnam has improved the lives of billions, but every single time it hit western news it is followed by “but at what price”.

And finally I have realized that things are not always as they seem and the propaganda machine makes it hard to discern the reality of many things. This goes for everything. I have no clue if it actually is dangerous to go USA or it just seem that way.

Could be worse. Could be a gas or helium balloon
