Except now y’all broadly apply “tankie” to anyone who’s anti-war, so it’s lost all meaning.

[–] calcopiritus@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago (16 children)

If by war you mean the Ukraine war. And by anti you mean give Russia all it wants in order to end it. Yes, anyone that is anti-war is a tankie.

[–] surph_ninja@lemmy.world -3 points 3 months ago (15 children)

Yeah, that’s what I said. Y’all apply it to everybody who opposes escalation with nuclear superpowers, or supporting US proxy wars.

If you support those, then you’re not anti-war.

But ackchually did you know if you were against the Iraq invasion in 2000s you are pro-saddam? Checkmate, tankies

/s if it wasn't obvious.

Riiiijght! Just like how if you’re anti-Trump and voted for Kamala you’re pro Israel.

Right. Yeah… totally!

Who said that? I don't deny any of that. Perhaps the party sbould listen to its base? Glad we agree on that.

But it's not politicially useful to shame people who choose not to vote. That won't work out.

But it IS politically useful to shame the people that DID vote.

ROFL!

I just wanted people to see what you’re about. Thanks for making it easy.

LoL. I remember.

And the people who fall for it will pretend they knew it was an illegitimate war all along, when the media narrative finally changes. And they won’t learn anything from this, and they’ll go along with the US narrative again next time.
