Would absolutely not surprise me if this were true.

Honestly, if Chinese operatives had the power to enter random US homes and kill people they would.

So if I started a piefed instance and wanted to host a 196 community I’d have to edit the list, but would every single other instance also have to or no?

That’s fair, do you think just the year 2023 then?

Very poor taste and completely out of touch take, that columnist, but I will say there is 1 similarity: forces both internal and external are trying to use the hatred of the general population to push agendas which are harmful and empower individuals who will not fix any of our problems.

If the Nazis had stopped at just heavily taxing Jewish bankers and regulating loans then this wouldn’t be the bad timeline, we should make the choice to enter the good timeline and tax the rich while still considering their rights as humans.

Why are so many posts lately trying to cause a gender war? Are Tankies recycling the Korean Psyops?

Fair and respectable.

I could dig it, I support equality and fashion liberation. My ideal world would normalize men wearing dresses and women wearing big orbital rings, which are lame.

Luckily we had a very very very brief interlude between 2020 and 2024.

yuppie, term used most frequently in the 1980s and ’90s to describe college-educated young professionals. Yuppie is short for “young urban professional” or “young upwardly mobile professional.” These individuals were typically of the American baby boomer generation (those born between 1946 and 1964) and worked high-paying jobs in cities. Yuppie started as a fairly neutral expression, but its connotations shifted toward the negative, especially as it began to be associated with social issues regarded as problematic, such as gentrification. Since its peak in the early 1990s, yuppie has largely been phased out as a descriptor, though the term remains familiar to a large number of Americans.

The neologism yuppie was likely used and spread colloquially by word of mouth before appearing in print, probably for the first time in a 1980 issue of Chicago Magazine. Journalist Dan Rottenberg, who did not take credit for coining the term, used it in his article about a growing trend of individuals moving into fashionable neighborhoods in Chicago. Indeed, at the time, much of the media was hyping a reversal of so-called white flight, suggesting that baby boomers, characterized as a generation of former hippies who were then entering their 30s, were shifting away from the suburbanized notion of the American dream of their parents and toward a new idealized urban lifestyle.

Because China, Russia, and North Korea run psyops that either directly or indirectly harm western nations, such as by endorsing, and in some cases funding and arming, people who oppose or disadvantage the governments and peoples in those nations in any way and by doing anything in their power to decrease credibility and trust of those nation’s governments.

Examples: China used its TikTok military op not only to collect and categorize americans (and other nations) but to directly endorse Donald Trump for president, followed by the largest shift rightward in young voters ever recorded. China wants Anarchy in the west, China wants an opportunity to grow their own borders unchecked and become the dominant global superpower.

If you’re a Tankie

You support Russia, China, and The Dictatorship of North Korea.

That’s like the definition of the word.

Then you don’t support Russia, China, or North Korea and you’re not a tankie, or you do support those entities and you’re lying about their activities, in either scenario that’s bullshit.

He could also just be a very literal person, perhaps autistic or uninformed, using terms exactly as they are defined, who wants to support equality but not support philogyny. Either way, clarifying that the feminism is humanism and equality and hardlining that point is the answer.

It’s not only Tankies but I’d wager it’s a majority Tankies. Anything to promote western violence and the loss of engagement in the political process.

No. Not one single time have I ever considered that.

Perhaps if it were a resistance to a fascist regime, but CEOs aren’t a fascist regime they’re just players in the game that voters have created.

Like when Brian Thompson was killed and his vice president took over the reigns within the hour? Like when they continued denying claims at record rates using AI? Fact of the matter is, somebody got rich off that guy dying, these sort of events won’t make the rich less greedy, it will enable and embolden them so that only the most violent rise to the top.

I was listing how they were different from the other groups.

A lot of them weren’t even anti-capitalist, tbh. Look up what a Yuppie is.

I didn’t say how bad, exactly, just that they’re almost all a net negative. You know, people who give more to the church than to charity, people who vote for autocrats, people who drill for oil and argue online about climate change. And some of them do indeed bomb abortion clinics and murder infidels, a small minority, but the average evangelical isn’t that far off from that ledge of no return.

The good ones are the ones who set up well regulated mobile soup and bread kitchens to feed the poor. They’re the ones who open shelters and secure the building to take people in during storms. They’re the ones who promote education despite contradictions with their beliefs. Those are few and far between.
