Oh yeah, and that's only going to get worse. I'm honestly hoping for YouTube to somehow crash and have a reformation. I know that's a pipedream, but still
I'd never heard of this before and looked it up. That's concerning. I don't have enough time right now to look deep enough to find which politicians are a part of it, however. Are there any in the House of Representatives or the Senate you can know of?
It's original definition doesn't include liberals. I consider myself relatively left. I've had people ridicule some of my viewpoints for being too liberal (I guess too center for them). Those people were tankies, but they weren't tankies because they're more left than me. It's because they consider themselves to be very left leaning while still praising authoritative regimes and being apologists for them. That's the tank part. They're alright with military dictatorships of the past and even consider them to have been successful. They also rarely are able to admit the flaws of those regimes (including the genocides), and even if they do, there's a "reason" for it (X might have been bad and did this, but at the same time, it also did Y which was somewhat good)
Do the people who choose the deadlines (especially if they're the publisher) really have that much influence on the programming and development side of things?
We should make this list longer
