Nonsense catch-all word to put down Marxist-Leninists, and any leftist seriously advocating for revolution.

Liberals and social democrats think we can vote our way out of the evils of capitalism, but we’ll never have the wealthy class’s “permission” to end any of this. The status quo is fueled by violence, blood and oil - but “moderates” treat this as acceptable violence, unlike “Communism” which engages in that “Evil, authoritarian” sort of violence.

Violence caused by our inaction towards capitalist exploitation is no better than violent pro-activeness. In the words Canadian rock legend Geddy Lee: “If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.”

I’ve seen “Tankie” pulled out on Lemmy and Reddit over things like:

• Suggesting a revolution is required to stop global capitalism, and that we cannot vote our way out of Capitalism

• Countering common narratives that paint US Geopolitical Adversaries and Existing Socialist/Communist regimes as comically evil villains.

• Criticizing the western perspective on the Russia/Ukraine conflict, and by extension criticism of Ukraine, or praise for Russia

• Suggesting that violence against Nazis is ok

I mostly get the impression that people don’t like violence, and dislike the idea that capitalism may need to be opposed through violence. Though I’ve also seen it thrown out at suggestions that capitalism should even be defeated at all. It feels like a poison tbh, we really should just be uniting against capitalism.

And honestly a pretty hillarious phrase to tattoo when some white foreigner rolls up asking for a “Lover of Asian Beauty” tattoo.

At some point notifications changed from solely “Look, this person interacted with your thing” to include things like “Look, someone on your friends list added a person you dont know” and i just know this boosted metrics enough to get some jackass a bonus.

For all of middle school, I would to wake up at 4:30 to catch the bus that arrived anytime between 5:30 and 6:25 to get to school at 7:15. And i wonder why my sleep is so fucked today, and why I was always too tired to focus on anything back then.

Neither of those things are even like, the top 3 things that are stopping you from having clean air.

All Snakes are Bastards

Who gets to decide what is and isnt “political”?

I’ve been enjoying Los Bitchos

I’m trying to be more conscious of it because i noticed my friends who are trans make a point to avoid “You guys”. I’m resistant to y’all though, so instead of biting the bullet and adopting the local dialect, I’ll say “you all” or “You two”. Don’t do what i do, y’all is kinda useful.

Yeah, that would be a problem, but It was also hyperbole. It doesn’t take much soda to damage your teeth though.

Me when it’s time to see the dentist. Straws do protect your teeth from a lot of the damage the soda would do. Even the citric acid in diet sodas and other drinks can wear down your enamel. I think you can want to enjoy soda while still trying to keep your teeth attached to your head.

Yeah he was arrested for downloading a massive amount of documents/articles off JSTOR with a computer hidden in an on-campus closet. He ended up committing suicide before going to trial for it

Woke is when someone on the left. Feminist are at least generally associated with the left, therefore woke.

Another reason to say “Fuck cars!”

I don’t hate trans people, I just don’t think anyone should be forced to be uncomfortable because of them.

You’re scratching your head at why people are mad at you, but it’s probably because you’re trying to find some compromise between being pro and anti trans - two diametrically opposed ideas. You’re point seems to boil down to: “I’m not transphobic, but trans people might make people uncomfortable, and we should also consider that.”. But, why should be? Trans people making you feel icky is a piss-poor reason to say they can’t use their preferred bathroom. People were concerned about Gay people and Black people in the same spaces as straight/white for a big chunk of the last century, it’s the same reactionary bullshit as always.
