  • minor issue

    Casual racism != minor issue

    Denial of racism != minor issue

    Unless you're a racist

  • We all do, there's definitely a faction within it that's pretty good but the top is dogshit. They wouldn't win if Putin was killed though, political assassinations tend to boost support for the parties that receive them, only really worthwhile when it would hurt a party organisationally such as small parties where one person can be very critical. But that's not happening with any massive party.

  • Ahhh yes the problem is that Hexbear came in and agreed it is racist, and then the racists threw a fit.

    Lmao give it a rest. Calling you a racist isn't abuse, you just don't like being called on it and now you're pissing and whining about it.

    Hexbear is a plague on lemmy, I can’t wait for the day of instance-level blocking

    It'll be great, you lot will opt out of seeing us, and opt out of cultural opposition to us. Meanwhile the vast majority will not, and without the far right as a constant source of distraction, concern trolling and sealioning the leftist influence will be even higher.

  • it hasn't been confirmed by western sources

    "I only believe news if it's made by white people and owned by a white billionaire"

  • If Putin dies you're not getting someone nicer, you're getting someone significantly worse. Of the United Russia party he's pretty much a moderate force within the party compared to the alternatives. And there isn't any other party that would magically assume power if he died.

  • Then you should know better than this bullshit, because you would be working with several of us. There is definitely not a teaching union that is not filled with MLs, education in particular has the highest number of us.

  • Not really? The only thing you ever say to us is "tankie" or accuse us of being bots of some sort. You never actually engage in any discourse. That's why you have this terminology, it functions as a method of literally dodging any engagement with anything we say, effectively by calling someone a tankie you give yourselves a socially acceptable way to avoid learning anything from socialists. It's thought-terminating.

    If you have anything worth saying that's actually in good-faith I will completely engage with you. The point is that you deploy this word to avoid any engagement. The tactic is exactly the same tactic as the conservatives use to avoid any right-wing people engaging with anything to the left of them, if it's "woke" they can switch off their brain and exercise avoidance to learning anything about it that might make them think differently.

    Liberals, of both the conservative and democrat variety, both use exactly the same tactic on the people to their left.

    Talk to me about something a marxist has just dismissed you on with the use of "lib". I am happy to talk to you about it. What do you want to say? We call you libs because you ARE libs. You support Liberalism. The ideology of capitalism. Our actual analog to "tankie" is calling you dronies.

  • This basically shows that what you care about is whether someone is anti-west or not. You are a western nationalist. Not a socialist, and certainly not an internationalist.

  • What have you actually done to help socialism then?

    Are you a union organiser? Are you in a union? Which one? What party are you in? What projects do you support? What are you actually doing as a socialist? Other than voting for a liberal party every few years I mean.

  • Norway isn't socialism.

  • You all use tankie exactly the same way republicans use woke. As a meaningless thought-terminating cliche deployed against literally everyone to your left to avoid actually learning anything.

  • Lmao thanks for removing all doubt.

  • The arguments being made here are the same ones that were used for fggot, trp, nword, gpsy, rdskins, etc etc etc.

    It's the same damn thing every single time, a bunch of reactionaries will piss and whine and piss and whine and piss and whine because they have to make the most minimal amount of effort to adopt a new word in their vocabulary instead of the problem one. They will piss and whine forever until eventually accepting it, like all the others historically.

    They join a long long line of pissy whiney losers for making the same tired old arguments we've seen for so many things before.

  • "f*ggot doesn't mean gay people"

    "tr*p doesn't mean trans people"

    "why can't I nword if it's in a hip-hop song, they use it"

    "g*psy doesn't refer to Romani, it's just what you say"

    "r*dskins is a traditional name for my football team it's not racist!"

    You get to join this long line of people talking absolute crap, desperately trying to avoid change because you're incapable of self-reflection and admitting you've been blind to this mistake for so long. You will piss and whine and piss and whine about it until eventually accepting it, like all the others historically.

  • You're suggesting rounding them up for re-education. We suggest that all the time, and yet when we suggest it you call us monsters.

    The time for re-education was 10 years ago though. There are far too many fascists now and they are embedded in far too many institutions, the inevitable outcome is already decided and the only pathway out down the line will be violent.
