Ew. This thread is filled with tankie trash. Blocked.

Make my pottery, dive deeper into woodworking, and learn permaculture farming.

Medium boiled egg. Some frozen potstickers, I heated up on the side.

The Affinity Suite is so worth it. Pay a single time and get all the apps on all major OSes instead of the stupid subscription bullshit Adobe tries to lock you into.

Nah. The millennials would need to play and beat the game and then come to online forums to bitch. We don’t have that amount of free time.

They are nearly always Zoomers and younger. (Or college kids and teenagers if I’m getting the generations wrong again)

Report back how it turns out.

Let me guess, you didn’t vote in 2024, and bitched about Democrats the entire time. How’s the Trump regime working out for you kreskin?

You’re a chump that thinks the Democrats are out to attack progressives. Maybe don’t be an uneducated dork.

almost universally want authoritarianism and dictatorships? those are far right positions

These are both far right and far left positions. That’s what I’m saying.

The left tends to want some flavour of socialist democracy.

Yes, the center-left wants this. The far-left wants revolutions and purity tests, burning down the system, and leaving minorities to die and fend for themselves while they wage their “class war”.

What far right labels as far left

Why would you depend on the far right for any kind of accurate definition? Bernie is not far left in reality. He is center left.

Yes pro authoritarian far left that’s basically communism.

I’d say it’s the stages before communism. When the authoritarians have to take all the power to give it to the people. The problem is that is impossible. Once the authoritians have taken all the power, they never give it up. So real communism doesn’t exist and can never exist because it always requires some type of revolution and central organization after the effects of the revolution. And that central power will never give up that power.

So just because they haven’t reached “true” communism doesn’t mean they are all of a sudden now on the “far-right”.

Today’s tankies are still considered far-left.

You can be both pro-authoritarian and far left. In fact, that’s kind of the definition of far left.

Tankies have almost nothing in common with the far left

This doesn’t make sense because tankies are the far left. What you’re thinking of as far left is actually center left.

They aren’t on the political spectrum at all because they don’t believe in any kind of governance.

I keep seeing this image repeated on Lemmy but I don’t buy it. It’s just an attempt for leftists to distance themselves from tankies. If you’re left but not a tankie, you are just center-left. Only tankies are far-left

Just look at ML or Hexbear right here on Lemmy. The tankies love Putin and Xi. Horseshoe is a law not a theory.

Hell they assasinate their own regularly.

I blame the algorithms. This shit is oushed in front of impressionable young men’s faces by most social media algorithms because it drives (toxic) engagement. Others have already described why it’s appealing.

This shit has always existed but it’s given a soap box because corporate wants number to go up, and sadly parents these days leave parenting up to social media so they don’t teach them that these views are abhorrent.

His desire to execute Tesla owners, while understandable considering how they drive, is a bit extreme. His other goals though. 👌
