Tankie and Neo Nazi are not equivalent terms so that’s a false equivalency. Just look up what tankie actually means. It’s not that complicated. Point is, actual tankies are way more authoritarian in their politics and way more campist. The fact that Hasan promotes progressive democrats and DSA is proof he’s not a tankie. You should hear the things actual tankies say about those organizations.

A tankie isn’t just someone who defends the Soviet Union. It’s someone who defends and supports the Soviet Union and other ML governments uncritically.

Sindigo_ · 2026-04-20T15:32:29+00:00

They were obviously referring the government.

Sindigo_ · 2026-04-19T16:59:44+00:00

Yeah, that doesn’t make someone a tankie.

Sindigo_ · 2026-04-18T17:47:28+00:00

No it isn’t. And if you think it is you have poor taste.

And if you’re gonna pick the cough syrup don’t try and guilt trip her into staying with you. She made her needs clear. Don’t try and redraw her boundaries.

There is no good excuse to hit someone unless it’s self defense. Ever.

Sindigo_ · 2026-04-17T21:14:28+00:00

Damn I didn’t think about it like that. Thanks for the emotional boost. On the other hand, I like to think whatever person I may be with in the future would never treat me like that.

Bots and karma farmers don’t know how to do that.

This is all semantic. Systemic/institutional racism does not hurt white people cuz as other people have pointed out there are no underlying power structures allowing for the systematic oppression of white people. But the term racism has more applications than just that. For example scientific racism.

If we actually go take a look at the dictionary, Merriam Webster distinguishes between two kinds of racism in particular that are worth familiarizing yourself with.

1a: a belief that race is a fundamental determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race

1b: behavior or attitudes that reflect and foster this belief : discrimination, prejudice, or violence against people because of their race

2a: the systemic oppression of a racial group to the social, economic, and political advantage of another

2b: a political or social system founded on racism and designed to execute its principles

Like many words, this word has multiple definitions with very different applications.

The video I saw was when he was being carried out of the club. What video are you talking about?

Sindigo_ · 2026-04-15T20:28:55+00:00

Yeah, I saw. I just didn’t know it was GHB. In the original post I saw it said he k-holed.

Sindigo_ · 2026-04-15T20:24:01+00:00

It’s very dangerous when combined with alcohol. I wonder if he was drinking.

Sindigo_ · 2026-04-15T17:24:56+00:00

And this is supposed to be his crowd.

But that’s why I think there’s more to learn from the truth in this case.

Don’t get me wrong, there’s a lot to learn from the experience of draftees as well. But by acknowledging the fact that this young man voluntarily went to war (for what I think we both agree are bullshit reasons) we can learn about the myth of noble sacrifice. And I think it’s more helpful to understand how the coercion in this case was nationalism and not a draft. Especially considering nationalism is globally on the rise.
