Bad Luck Ayatollah.

I mean, he has been fighting US & Israeli imperialism his entire life, he was an old man with failing health and infamously wanted to be martyred by US/Israel
Show threadSarah Valentine (she/her)Mar 1
Someone should tell those suicide bombers that getting bombed while hiding in a bunker counts as martyrdom. Might save them some trouble.
Show threadFokeuMar 1
Martyrdom is a fancy word that means death for a made up religion.
Show threadYappyMonotheistMar 1
? People have been martyrs for non-religious causes since forever, man.

make-up religion

You’re getting tautological here mate.

Fuck him. And also fuck the US and Israel. As an outsider this is just all villains fighting each other.
Show threadKlearMar 1

this is just all villains fighting each other

…and civilian collateral damage, unfortunately.

Unfortunately there’s also civilian collateral damage when they aren’t fighting each other.
Show thread🍉 Albert 🍉Mar 1
I am sure the hundred schoolgirls were also villains fighting each other
Show threadSupraMarioMar 1

To Iran they were just going to be new protestors to kill.

Fuck all 3 of these authoritarian shit stains.

Show thread🍉 Albert 🍉Mar 1

are you justifying a warcrime against a school because they could have died in the future???

If you get murdered, is the murderer innocent because it is possible someone else would have murdered you later?

Shitlibs logic

Show threadTachyonTeleMar 1
How did you misread that so badly?
Show thread🍉 Albert 🍉Mar 1
you can’t preemptively murder children because in your fan fiction they die later on
Show threadTachyonTeleMar 1

You agian missed two very important words that OP wrote

To Iran

That means if you were Iran then you would be having those thoughts. Not someone normal.

Show thread🍉 Albert 🍉Mar 1

wait, being Iranian means it’s ok for USA/Israel to kill Iranian schoolgirls?

if someone else wants to kill you, does that give me the moral right to kill you first?

Show threadTachyonTeleMar 1
Are you being willfully dense right now?
Show thread🍉 Albert 🍉Mar 1
I’m not the one justifying war crimes that killed over 100 school girls.
Show threadTachyonTeleMar 1

So you’re just naturally dense. Got it.

Have a good one.

I hate the regime in Iran. I have a dear friend who was victimized by it. But also hate Benji N’s Israel and D. Trump and most of the ME surrounding who have done nothing for decades to control Iran. Oh noes! We have no ideas and no strategy so lets just send the Trump family a lot of money!
Show threadSupraMarioMar 3
Yep, it’s a problem that existed, but shouldn’t have been taken care of in the ME by the ME…not the usa and sure as fuck not by Israel or trump.
Show threadLucelu2Mar 3
Some asshole on one of the forums I frequent stated that there was questionable information about the school. I responded that there was questionable information regarding his ethics and partisanship and I not only got blocked but my response was rejected… perhaps ‘CULT’ is a trigger word?

I have a list of world leaders whose death’ll make me happy. These are people that make the world better by dying.

With innocent, normal people caught in the crossfire. If those cunts would simply kill each other, fine. But it’s always other people getting hit too.

They do already. “Respected leader” one post over there said.

I am trying to get someone to explain what tankie means. People call me tankie from time to time, but I have no love for the iranian goverment.
Show threadPat_RiotMar 1
Tankies are apologists for “communist” leaders such as Stalin, Mao and Kim. They love Russia, China and North Korea and will swear those countries can do no wrong. “Left” authoritarians… bootlickers.
Show threadporous_grey_matterMar 1
A “tankie” is just anyone to the left of you
Show threadSupraMarioMar 1
You guys are easy to spot these days.
Show threadporous_grey_matterMar 1
You can see from the question that poster asked that, whatever clear definition about authoritarianism or whatever you think it has, that’s just not how people are actually using it. Centrists will use it for Mamdani supporters, DSA-types will use it for Marxist-Leninists, and anarchists will use it for almost literally anyone.
Show threadZombieMar 1

“Tankie” is just a derogatory term for anyone to the left of the person saying it

anarchists will use it for almost literally anyone

Great logic. Almost as if you’re speaking shite, unless anarchists are on the right now…

Show threadporous_grey_matterMar 1
No, I’m just accusing them of throwing around words that mean nothing
Show threadwonderingwandererMar 1
Kinda like how tankies think everyone is a fascist (except for other tankies, of course)?
Show threadSatansMaggotyCumFartMar 1
Can you show an example of people calling Mamdani supporters tankies please?
Show threadporous_grey_matterMar 1
Sorry, I don’t save links to random stupid internet comments
Show threadJcbAzPxMar 1
You should probably start doing that if you’re going to use them as core components of your online arguments.
Show threadporous_grey_matterMar 1
Nah lol
Show threadwonderingwandererMar 1
Can’t, because it didn’t happen.
Show threadwonderingwandererMar 1

No one calls Mamdani a tankie, but I have seen tankies calling Mamdani a fascist. They clearly don’t know what fascism is.

Centrists also don’t use the term “tankie.” If anything they call everyone on the left a socialist (as if it’s a bad thing) or a communist or a radical leftist.

“Tankie” is specifically a word people on the left use to refer to auth-comms.

Show threadwonderingwandererMar 1
“If they don’t lick bolshevik boots, they’re a fascist” -average tankie
Show threadVoteNixon2016Mar 1

anarchists will use it for almost literally anyone

I mean, yeah? Like the most basic understanding of anarchy is that hierarchy is a bad thing, so it applies to a lot of political philosophies

Show threadwonderingwandererMar 1
Not even a little bit, but typical tankie rhetoric is to call anyone who isn’t at least as far to the left as them (read: approaching infinity) a fascist, so I’m not surprised to hear this from an .ml account
Show threadiamdefinitelyoverthirteenMar 1
Oh, come on now, they’d never call Putin a fascist.
Show threadwonderingwandererMar 1

Oh true, I forgot to add that they’ll complain about literally anyone except for actual fascists…

There!

I find it very interesting that you get downvotes for this comment. My experience is that this is the way most people use the term and they get so angry, when you point that out.
Show threadGreddanMar 1
Mostly cringe american kids who confuse authoritarianism for socialism.
Show threadwonderingwandererMar 1
Tankies exist around the world, I don’t know why you’re making it an american thing. It’s not limited to just americans.
Show threadzikzak025Mar 1
Yeah but closer to the eastern bloc you’re likely to hear the term “vatnik” used instead.
Show threadwonderingwandererMar 1

Tankies and vatniks have a lot of overlap.

From my understanding, a vatnik is specifically someone who is shilling for the russian government. Not necessarily under a veneer of leftism (because the kremlin is far-right-wing).

A tankie may or may not be directly shilling for the kremlin, but it’s always an auth-comm under a guise of leftism.

Tankie vatniks exist of course, but they’re just the center of the venn diagram.

Show threadGreddanMar 1
Because I sometimes get curious and find out who they are. Either americans are less privacy conscious, or most tankies are american college kids, often with some neuropsychological disability kids like to flaunt nowadays.
Show threadwonderingwandererMar 1

A decade ago, it was “as a black man in america…” Now I suppose it’s “as an autistic person in america…”

Still the same troll farms operating out of russia.

Show threadOBJECTION!Mar 1

The number of Chinese Marxist-Leninists alone vastly outnumbers us Western tankies. The vast majority of “tankies” live in various countries outside of the imperial core.

Even in the US, the most prominent and successful “tankie” organization was the Black Panther Party.

Show threadSimulation6Mar 1
Doesn’t the term come from the Tiananmen Square massacre when the army drove tanks over students?
