~90% of so called tankies are bots, disinformation agents, or trolls.

Prove it, McCarthy.

~90% of so called tankies are bots, disinformation agents, or trolls. These are the ones who try to disguise themselves as communists, and making a rather poor job of it.

Bullshit. Find me one Lemmy admin who agrees with you. The only people who believe it are non-admins with Russiagate derangement syndrome.

Okay, then present your overwhelming mountain of evidence, senator McCarthy.

Notice that they asked for an example and couldn't provide one.

more due to the incompetence of the governing fascists than to lack of intent.

Oh ok, so the fascist is governing the US are well intentioned and want democracy and freedom, they just aren't competent enough to achieve it. All of the USs enemies, though, are just evil.

And you call other people ultra-nationalist.

Any one with a somewhat working democracy, and decent social freedoms.

What is an example?

It’s not due to incompetence. The US has never been a democracy by design. In fact, it’s working as intended. Previously:

The US government was never not captured by the bourgeoisie, because the US was born of a bourgeois revolution[1]. The wealthy, white, male, land-owning, largely slave-owning Founding Fathers constructed a bourgeois state with “checks and balances” against the “tyranny of the majority”. It was never meant to represent the majority—the working class—and it never has, despite eventually allowing women and non-whites (at least those not disenfranchised by the carceral system) to vote.
