I was going to write something like this. You actually wrote about semantic order, but syntactically it is as much important e.g. it is easier to sort dates such as 2024-05-27 than 27.05.2024 in chronological order.
I am from Europe, from country invaded by nazi Germany so I know well what means an oppressive use of army. But could you give an alternative to the army?
First, you try to defend your country. Then, you want to have some advantage for a safety margin. Then, bigger advantage "just in case". This military play is what is really addictive.
If "in the sense being tankie" is not clear enough for you, I do not mean possible communism ideal, but I mean actually existing "communism", like in USSR, which, besides some social advantages, was a red authoritarism.
It is because communism (in the sense being tankie) is far less radical than what we actually need. It is just imperialism with some red aesthetics. This is not the way, this is surrender.
This is a good way to mess with motorist, I like it as a cyclist đ
