    It’s really fascinating to see how all extremists end up voting together despite apparently opposing each other.

    Of course they don’t actually oppose each other. All repeat the same values.

      Imagine you are on a demo and see the Russian Tsardom, Russian Federation and USSR flag flown right next to each other.

        If you think you’re making up something now, you will be surprised. This is actually a thing, as there are “Stalin good, Purin good, Nikolai 2 good” people - they dig for historical confirmations of authoritarian rule being effective, and promote it: “let’s get ourself a tzar, he’ll take care of everything!”

          The unspoken assumption is that change is impossible. Like the universe itself dictates a steep gradient, and the only way things could be different is by shuffling around who goes where. So if someone is suffering, they must have fucked up to deserve it, and if you want to help them, you’re putting someone else in their place. This worldview, rooted in interpersonal loyalty, always amounts to “well somebody’s gotta be king.” Might as well be your team.

    They really don’t like people to disagree with the hive over there, do they?

      They certainly don’t.

      I love it though since there’s always raving about ‘oh i just dunked some LIBTARD the other day, i’m so cool, please be friends with me’ … But they never actually did it. Pretending to have internet arguments is one of the strangest things I’ve seen from tankies, next to the deviantart stalin and communist anime waifus… certainly, uh, curious? I don’t post them here since it feels like picking on disabled folk–scatch that–IT IS picking on the disabled.

        Idk. Maybe pretending to have Internet arguments is better than actually having them.

        At least then their idiocy is limited to inside their head then spread across the Internet.

          Yeah, it’s very prevalent all over their elements and discords. They meme a lot on the surface, but inside their actual circles, when they know it’s just themselves, it’s an immensely depressing place–A common trait in all extremist communities, really. Anger on the outside. Crying on the inside.

          I actually think a lot about those guys who post their fanarts because I just can’t fathom how utterly depressing that life must be for them. But it’s also their passion and probably therapy for them, minus the whole praising long-dead dictators thing, perhaps it’ll help them. Suppose that’s why so many authoritarian states immediately strangle art since it pacifies the extreme.

        I should do that honestly. Just announce that I’m right and then stop responding to a comment thread

    I see the “let’s not arrest black people” logic outside of just political extremists. Such it is bad when the police are racial profiling people but on the other side of the coin I’ve seen people ignoring when Black or other minorities are committing a crime.

    Basically the TLDR is that people should be treated equal and race shouldn’t affect the justice system. (It is hard to do in practice)

      That’s probably there logic

      However, it is important to note that America is not going to “fall” because of one president. That kind of thinking leads to aggressive action and is what lit the fire that was Jan 6, 2020. Civil non violent action is what is needed.
