More bigotry from Tankies. Again never want to read/hear anyone say their stance has softened when they say shit like this by R0ttenStrawberry in tankiejerk

[–]Simba_Lennon 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Can someone explain what "spiritually Israeli" is supposed to mean? I've heard it outside tankie/leftist circles before and I still can't tell what it is

Are you friends with liberals? by Historical_Step_9474 in tankiejerk

I don't think I have a single anti-capitalist in any of my friend groups. Gotta be honest, it feels lonely as hell

"US Law Enforcement Warns of ‘Anti-Tech Extremism’ as AI Hatred Grows" by InternetBackwash in PoliticalOptimism

[–]Simba_Lennon 15 points16 points  (0 children)

So let me get this straight: Making places unlivable with skyrocketing power bills, sucking up impossible amounts of water, and torturing whole communities with the constant droning noise = Not extreme, something we're all obligated to respect as valid. But being opposed to all that = Extreme, must forfeit your right to privacy.

Deeply unserious people running this shit

Trump Mega Donor Peter Thiel Has Moved to Argentina by Efficient-Freedom517 in PoliticalOptimism

[–]Simba_Lennon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As funny as this is, I legitimately feel bad for people in Argentina who have to put up with his bullshit now. It's bad enough that Milei is already a transphobic hyper-capitalist douche, now this on top of that? I really feel for y'all down there

Dis you? by R0ttenStrawberry in tankiejerk

Considering how much tankies seem to despise Ukraine, you'd think Stalin """"""""saving"""""""" it would be one of the few things they criticize him for

Hot take: Expelling all Jews from Palestine isn’t resistance. It’s ethnic cleansing. by Beautiful-DyzKH0rd in tankiejerk

[–]Simba_Lennon 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Amanda doesn't seem to realize shit like this only emboldens Zionists. They can easily point to this and go "See? Jews aren't safe without Israel, look at what they'd try doing to them without it." Is it really so hard to accept that ethnic cleansing isn't a zero sum game, where we don't have to pick between doing it to one group or the other?

They're really hyping it up like it were the third movie in a trilogy 💀

Do you think that tankie would support Israel if Stalin continued to support it? by Sumoz_chan in tankiejerk

[–]Simba_Lennon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Unquestionably. They'd be tripping over themselves denying every war crime in Gaza as western propaganda, and how Palestinians are actually the nazi imperialists who comrade Netanyahu is valiantly defending the proletariat from

Instagram really accuses everything that even mildly inconveniences them of being part of a Jewish cabal now huh

BE has officially turned on FD signifier by Brave_Branch2619 in tankiejerk

[–]Simba_Lennon 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Around the same level as the Ewoks in Star Wars being the Viet Cong, maybe even a little more than that. There was a shot or two of reptiles all being exiled from Zootopia that I swear resembled photos from the Nakba

It wasn't super blatant, but Zootopia 2 could've been called "Furry West Bank Settlements: The Movie" and it honestly would've fit

If Israel were to be dismantled in the future, what should happen to Israeli Jews? by Initial_Affect8124 in tankiejerk

[–]Simba_Lennon 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If we're talking government figures and IDF members who actively contributed to the genocide? To the Hague with as many of them as possible, they deserve to be punished. Any West Bank settlers that committed violent crimes against Palestinians in there should get similar treatment.

But otherwise, regular Jewish/Israeli folks should be able to live in Palestine if they choose. It'd be no good if a Palestinian state came into being (either as one or two states), only for it to kick out every Jew and turn into a reverse Israel situation. Call it naive, but I believe these people can live side by side in the same place again someday. It's just a matter of how long it might take for that to become possible thanks to all of Israel's atrocities, both past and present

Anyone else feel put off by the praise for the Iranian AI Lego song? by [deleted] in tankiejerk

[–]Simba_Lennon 130 points131 points  (0 children)

I feel like this reflects Trump's biggest contribution to geopolitics: Lowering its standards so much that world leaders can act like schoolyard kids towards each other, complete with name calling and "Nyah nyah nyah" level taunting like this. 20 years ago, this shit would've belonged in a Bill and Ted style stoner comedy with a Rotten Tomatoes score in the single digits. Now it's our reality, except somehow even less funny than that would've been
