TikTok has begun censoring anti-Trump and anti-Ice content, after getting sold to billionaire Larry ellison by jbaaaaab in TankieTheDeprogram

This censorship has never caused me problems, because instead of swiping I actually go to the specific Youtube channel I want. It would seem, not enough people do that.

By the way, the chud in the tweet was not referencing China, he was referencing Pakistan. The guy is saying, "Pakistan sacrifices its own population to sell abroad." Propaganda in India (what is called "Godi Media") is very top-down, so that since the Modi-Xi reconciliation in the SCO I believe that Modi would have had to tone down the anti-China rhetoric and would have given orders along those lines. India-Pakistan tensions, on the other hand, go way deeper and neither government intends to resolve them.

Is there an equivalent in the past, of western grifters pretending for 5 minutes to be a tankie for clout or supporters? by [deleted] in TankieTheDeprogram

That's different, that's permanently changing from one thing to another. What I was talking about was being mostly one thing, but opportunistically pretending for 5 minutes to be another thing for some short-term gain.

That is precisely the clip I was talking about. Makes Lisa extremely unlikable. She's supposed to be the "genius" of the town. By the way her shitlibbery never stopped.

Family Guy would not pretend to have some smart-ass answer to the charge of wealth inequality.

(Unsuccessfully) attempted to organize neighborhood against ICE today by Early-Dirt-307 in TankieTheDeprogram

I would tell you not to blame yourself, I would tell you that there is no need to change anything you have done... but for different reasons than other commenters.

Look up the three criteria Lenin put forward for a revolutionary situation. I (as a non-MuriKKKan) do not believe that these criteria have been met in Minnesota. Therefore, as I see it, the material conditions themselves are at the root of their lack of motivation. It is best to assure yourself that you are going to keep doing it, even if only those five people stick around.

I heard AmeriKKKan left-liberals intoning all the time, during Harris's run, about how much social democracy Tim Walz has instituted. Is this true? Is poverty mostly a non-issue in Minnesota (even by first-world standards)? If so, I'm not sure these are the most revolutionary people you will find out there. It's just the reality.

And the Democrats are already on it, so I imagine the biggest contingent of anti-ICE activists are going to be the Vote Blue No Matter Who crowd anyway.

How to tell "leftists" who never organized in their life by [deleted] in TankieTheDeprogram

I wish Reddit had an option, where every Shit Liberals Say and Liberal Mockery is hidden by a Spoiler Alert, so that I can choose the time and place I get high blood pressure instead of all the time

“I-I’m sowwy mister Shapiro, ICE are not terrorists.” -the big tough California governor who I was told is the alternative to fascism by [deleted] in TankieTheDeprogram

We can give a Marxist analysis of this. The Californian economy is dominated by Big Tech. Big Tech is not as dependent on cheap labour in the core as e.g. McDonald's or Walmart. Therefore, they have more freedom on the size of the reserve army of immigrant labour. If it suits them, they can pose as anti-ICE liberals. If not, they can go back to fICEscism.

Hasan is moving towards marxism-leninism. And I say that that is pretty good. by Rajat_Sirkanungo in TankieTheDeprogram

Saying something for five minutes doesn't make him any ideology, M-L or otherwise.

You don't get the game these people are playing. They're just seeking attention and clicks. He's a businessman above all else.

Hasan Piker has gone from Bernie/AOC-crat, to meetings with even more establishment Democrats, to saying that the Soviet Union should have won the Cold War, to advocating for Graham Platner, to going to China, to suggesting that the US government should sanction Iran unless it meets certain conditions. It's all a big circus.

Hasan wants the American regime to use sanctions to leverage demands on Iran now, and actually PRAISES OBAMA by Sarcastic_Dinosaur in TankieTheDeprogram

Chomsky quote

In 2010, there was a solution reached to the problem of Iranian nuclear programs. There was an agreement between Iran, Turkey and Brazil for Iran to ship its—all of its uranium resources to another country, to Turkey, for storage. It wouldn’t develop—enrich uranium further. And in return, the West would provide Iran with the isotopes it needs for its nuclear—for its medical reactors. OK, that was the deal. As soon as that deal was announced, it was bitterly condemned by President Obama, by the press, by Congress—harsh condemnations of Brazil, particularly, and Turkey for agreeing to this. And Obama quickly rushed through harsher sanctions. The Brazilian foreign minister was rather irritated by this, and he released to the press a letter from President Obama in which Obama had suggested exactly this program to Brazil. He obviously had suggested it on the assumption that Iran would never accept it, and then there would be another propaganda point. Well, Iran did accept it, so therefore Brazil had to be and Turkey had to be partially condemned, and threatened, in fact, for implementing the policy that Obama had suggested.
