Because dbzer0 are tech bros

But that doesn’t make much sense.

Did the majority of the instance vote for this rule, or was it only the people who actually showed up to vote? Because if it’s the latter, then it’s not very representative, is it? Wouldn’t the fact that many comments criticising the use of GenAI, which directly inflates AI and tech companies and the worst that capitalism has to offer, being removed show that it’s not a clear majority, and you should revote?

And even when, why would anarchists vote when you’ve shown yourself to be draconian? When you remove and ban random users for random reasons. Isn’t one of anarchists core beliefs that voting means implicit agreement with the state? With you being the state in this example.

They only venture outside their safespaces when they’ve got support. You’ll never see a lone Tankie venturing outside of it.

sorry that you got dog-piled by them :c

Beria

also curious how you’re going to spin the Kremlin being involved in supplying Epstein victims, Epstein’s regular contact with the Kremlin and Epstein mentioning his meetings with Putin.

hi i am goat.

you can ask me any questions you have about my community or my views. My opinion on I/P is that Israel should leave Palestine alone, and Palestine should leave Israel alone. They both have the right to exist.

you’d also be hard-pressed to ever get proof from tankies. They’re MAGA, they don’t operate on proof, only feelings.

Where does that happen?

MoG isn’t fascist or liberal. It’s a community that exists to highlight Tankies and their extremism.

Yeah, most likely it’s Russian disinformation at some level in the pipeline of extremism

It’s very curious how all extremists end up with the same talking points and views. The antisemitism from tankies is almost identical to neo-nazis, even posting and sharing the same conspiracy theories.

i’d like to tout that this community rarely bans users and has one of the fairest and most lenient ban conditions. we encourage tankies to come and engage

but tankies like to say they get banned for ‘wrongthink’ since it’s easier to lie than admit you can’t handle people criticising your otherwise asinine positions.

and you’re dodging it by taking issue with me calling that imperialism and not agreeing that influence can be good.

Let’s test that.

What influence has the US done that is good? What influence has the West done that is good?

You’re using Lenin’s definition of imperialism. Lenin’s definition focuses on economic domination, not military or territorial control, so for the PRC’s invasion, which was “liberation,” it’s better to use the modern definition of imperialism, which most people reading this will be doing anyway.

Tibet was also a serfdom, not a slave society, there is a distinct difference. Serfdom binds a person to land. Slavery treats them entirely as movable property. One is labour, one is chains. Calling it liberation is also extremely negligent and steeped in bias, the US military uses this excuse all the time, that they are liberators instead of imperialist forces.

But ultimately this all avoids the question of whether or not the Tibetan population wanted integration with China, that’s the crucial part that makes it imperialist, the inability for the Tibetans to decide for themselves.

Which, again, you’re making a false conflation. We’ve established that Europe is imperialist, yes. We’ve established that the US is imperialist, yes. But then you’re including the PRC in an attempt to make it appear anti-imperialist – Which it mostly wasn’t. It’s a very camp argument. Imperialism is imperialism, it doesn’t matter who’s doing it and for what reason.

Redsails is also not a good source, it’s openly from an ML perspective, so it’s not neutral, which you absolutely have to be when discussing history. It’s also under no pretence to be academic or accurate either, Redsails is ideologically driven rather than factually driven - so it won’t ever be critical of the ML perspective. You can use redsails to talk theory, absolutely, but not as a historical or factual source, it’s dishonest.

China is also not entirely socialist, either, it’s state-capitalist with socialist rhetoric. They still have private property.

You’ll find all countries have engaged in imperialism in one way or another. China towards Tibet, Europe towards Africa, the US currently, well, everyone.

China is not socialist, either, it’s state-capitalist with socialist rhetoric. China is also currently lacking in some social features, particularly full universal healthcare coverage and strong worker rights. Vietnam, however, is quite steady and making great strides. Here’s hoping for more

If you’re anti-imperialist, wouldn’t it make more sense for China and Taiwan to be recognised as two, separate independent nations?

Opposition to imperialism implies opposition to enforced absorption, regardless of who is doing it. If you’re truly anti-imperialist, you shouldn’t take a stance of either side absorbing the other.
