OBJECTION!
From what I remember leftists were pretty much the only ones defending Biden’s withdrawal from Afghanistan. Take it up with NPR, libs.
Like most things liberals say, it’s incoherent nonsense that falls apart under very basic examination, and when you point that out they just get mad at you and refuse to answer.
They hate China because they are jingos and they hate capitalism because it’s in vogue so since those two things are bouncing around in their heads, they connect them.
Noncredibledefense is from Reddit and has a very particular set of bizarre brainworms that generally boil down to bootlicking NATO. As far as communities federated with .ml, it’s the worst by far. Be glad they banned you, block it and pretend it doesn’t exist, everyone on there is way too deep into whatever it is they’re into to ever listen to reason and there is no value in understanding them.
It’s very funny to me that liberals will say all this shit and never have the receipts. This isn’t the first time I’ve seen them accuse people of liking Pol Pot, that seems to be one of their go-tos.
They’re constantly spewing these conspiracy theories about Russian agents or conservatives in disguise, while adamantly refusing to understand how anyone could not subscribe to “vote blue no matter who” and lesser-evilism. I keep making fun of them but they just keep doing it and I only have so many clever bits in me. Though I was quite proud of my most recent one.
Humor really takes them off-script. If you say, “I’m not a Russian agent,” well, that sounds like what a Russian agent would say. If you try to say, “There are legitimate reasons for an ordinary person to believe what I’m saying,” well, sounds like you’re using that as an excuse to spread more Russian propaganda. It’s a solid conspiracy theory with a response for every angle, but they just don’t know what to make of it when you start doing a bit like that.
That was also the thinking behind my Phoenix Wright theming, that, and that I could get away with being like, “Do you have any evidence
to support that claim?” I kinda dropped it because it got old fast but it’s nice to have in my back pocket when they get ridiculous.
What’s the historical significance of Tiananmen Square? People sure seem to like talking about it, but personally I don’t really see why it warrants so much attention, in the grand scheme of things.
YES
My understanding is that a tankie is defined as someone who seeks to promote global peace, understanding, and equality, with nuanced views that incorporate marginalized and international perspectives, grounded in historical evidence.
That’s how I see it used anyway.
Shroedinger’s Russian nuclear arsenal. When there’s a story about risking escalation, libs tell me it’s fine because Russia doesn’t have the money to maintain its nukes, so it’d only be a “limited” nuclear exchange. When this story comes out, the libs tell me that Russia has a much larger and better maintained nuclear stockpile, so it’s only necessary for the US to spend more on it to catch up. It’s sort of the same way that Russia simultaneously is on the verge of defeat, yet also has the intention and capability to conquer all of Europe, like Hitler, if we don’t stop him here.
The enemy is both strong and weak, and you never know which one it’s gonna be.
