It’s not appeasement, it’s diplomacy. the kind of wars that don’t end with diplomacy are the ones where we all end up dead as a result.

I gotta agree, has gone on far too long and continuing to pump in money and weapons is only getting people killed. at this point it’s probably only making the outcome worse by dragging it out

not really sure the analogy fits directly, in this case people are mad that the brioche is expensive and I’m saying “why not eat bread”

one weird trick to save money on eggs: go vegan, my eggspenses are $0/month

I would point out that the system we live in now is also maintained by violence and a lot of bloodshed, all alternatives are aggressively opposed, many people live in awful conditions already, and more often they tend to be the people on receiving end of US weapon systems. The actual death toll of capitalism is extremely high if you include social murder and neglect too.

Trueanon, if I ever make a manifesto I’m mentioning them in it

I run into this being ace spec, in college I even had friends trying (successfully) to set me up with dates and they never went anywhere because it was never something I cared enough about to prioritize.

I don’t really find myself sexually attracted to anyone, but having an emotional connection makes a big difference in wanting a romantic relationship for me.

no they’re not, I would have seen them at orientation

I’m an anarchist tyvm.

My experience is that most people cant tell the difference between anyone on the the left. If they’re type concerned about ‘tankies’ they will call anyone to the left of Biden on wars a ‘tankie’

I dont see lemmygrad

The default view is subscribed, unless you’re browsing all you won’t see them unless you already subscribed.

The Pro-Russia, pro-China posts are enough to make me raise an eyebrow and keep my mouth shut when a mod comes around.

I can appreciate this, people can be on a hair trigger sometimes. Personally I like to be able to keep track of what both sides narratives are.

Russia is a reactionary capitalist shit hole, I wish it wasn’t but here we are. many such cases

I’m seeing a lot of people call Hexbear a tankie instance lately - they aren’t really though, they are an instance full of trolls who are militant against any belief system at all (most especially their own?), or as near to that as makes no difference. They constantly lie - most especially to one another,

From my experience they’re anarchists/communists like they say they are.

meme is a little dated now I don’t think any reasonable person would pick option 1

The way I read it is more that doomer mentality is when you’re staying in the cage due to the barriers in your way, despite it being wide open if you take a different path.

when are they making these things part of the white house motorcade?

Beware the fake communism, “tankie” triad of hexbear.net (or wherever they moved to, after they forgot to renew their own domain name)

they managed to keep the domain in the end, I think they transferred to a different DNS landlord

Also it’s not fake communism, it’s pretty normal for anyone outside of terminally online circles, like I’m active in anarchist organizing and I’ve had plenty of comrades who would get called a tankie by you lot like it’s some thoughtcrime
