“America bad therefore all adversaries are good and all adversaries’ actions are good.”
How is the idea that two evils can fight each other so hard to understand? Not all fights are between a good and a evil.
Yeah and they also forget that something evil can have elements or components that arent evil. You wont kill every employee of a company because the ceo is evil. You wont kill every palestanian or israeli because the IDF and hamas are terrorist organizations.
It doesn’t help that they have the emotional maturity of toddlers
You’ve got to wonder how much of it is genuine and how much is some in a third world country being paid by putin/xi to spread propaganda on social media
No, you really don’t have to wonder that. Not when you meet plenty of real people with those real opinions. I think questioning the humanity of those who we interact with is far more destructive. It’s often the conspiracy minded Lemmygrad users who share spaces with real people who disagree with them, and instead of managing the cognitive dissonance they just accuse them of being a bot. Everyone who disagrees with me is fake!
Please refer to the rules, particularly revision
Also the intellectual maturity.
Reality is a team sport, to some people. The conservative worldview is defined by interpersonal loyalty. There is some rightful order to things, and it’s your job to justify and promote that, by stringing together argument-shaped sentences. They think that’s all anyone’s doing.
And yes, I would call tankies conservatives. The word doesn’t refer to right-wing policies. It means “well somebody’s gotta be king.” They use leftist language, and absorb some leftist motivation, but any of it and all of it will go out the window for the social game of maintaining loyalty.
I think it is difficult for children to understand nuance like that. Aren’t cartoons always very obvious about who is in the right?
You simply side with the weaker side. Losing is a sign of virtue. /s
That explains why they are fans of Russia as well.
It is fights between arbitrary stance with no factual evidence and arbitrary stance with no factual evidence.
Actually it sounds a lot like a holly war
I can’t believe this is a community lmao. Libs are so weird.
Murder fantasies are much weirder.
Says the tankie. How rich.
*how authoritarian
Can we get something more exciting than getting banned on Lemmy.ml for perfectly fine speech?
“Does not make you an hero”
Id hope not
You never know in tankie land. They see Stalin as the great liberator
The thing that makes you a hero is killing a terrorist.

There is a pretty clear definition of terrorism and when you think actual genocidal islamists arent terrorist “because they fight the status quo and nothing else” you might need to find yourself in prison for terrorism support.
