Politics will always disappoint you. All you can do is work towards the things that matter
When tankies disappoint you, however, complaining about it will get you a one way ticket to the gulag.

You poor guys must be even more persecuted than Christians imagine themselves to be 😂

Even today, the US will deny naturalization to anyone who discloses they’re a communist or anarchist
Things like McCarthyism are alive and well
Maybe compare Jan 6 police response with what happened with Palestine or BLM protests.

The markets of exploitation built by liberals includes slavery as well as wage slavery, which speaks volumes about how good they are at upholding their own principles. Liberalists just outsourced everything in the 1950s, screwed entire labour markets and relied on communist China to do so.
All to save a buck and bring “growth”.
There is some shrapnel buried in a building or two that shows why that might happen

No violent repression is rarely justified, but it’s understandable when mass violence has been involved.

Oh no, you know a word as overused as nazi! Understanding why something happened doesn’t mean you support it, but it is the fastest way to learning to fix it, why do you promote ignorance? But I suppose you’d rather accuse people of supporting one of the bloodiest regimes in human history than use your fucking brain

Liberals just bypass the gulag and incarcerate, kill, or deport you and your loved ones

Implying other places aren’t plagued by neoliberalism

Edit: On brand that you support deportation though. Scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds.
Here is another way in which liberals will disappoint you with their lack of political education. There’s liberals, conservatives and tankies, and no other options I guess.
Tell me, can you provide me with your definition of the word “tankie”? Because they are a specific thing that represents a fringe pariah of the radical left.
fringe pariah of the radical left
Tankies aren’t leftists, and literally all of Hexbear is full of them. .ml too at this point.
Yeah but… I mean nominally they claim to be leftist. Honestly I think a lot of them are ideologically on the side of workers but they’re misguided. I don’t think you could claim the same thing for actual fascists, which is why I don’t like the term “red fash”. There are red fash, but they’re actual nazbols, not just people who have fallen victim to revisionism.
The Democrats can’t do as much as you want them to when there’s a very real chance of losing the election to the Republicans. If you want change, then vote. If you want policy 475, you need to vote for policy 1 first.
The American system of government is the blame game. For example, few people seem to remember that during Obama’s 8 years in office he had the government for 10 months.
During the 86 other months Republicans exploited that by simultaneously stonewalling everything while going to the media and questioning why the democrats aren’t doing more for the American people. It is a masterfully effective underhanded tactic.
I also agree that everyone should vote. When more people vote, regardless of political affiliation, democrats win bigger. I don’t know why that is true, but it is. So yes, everyone vote!
This is the Lemmy Sino-Russian propaganda farm version of a boomer meme. What a fucking joke, I literally laughed
When did lemmy redefine conservatism as liberalism? Am I in some reverse world?
Ugh, liberals
US Democracy is a type of liberalism, which was created as a reaction to mercantilism and monarchies. Basically means “individual rights, civil liberties, democracy, and free enterprise.” which… US Democracy doesn’t lmao.
Different word from liberal and conservative. Kind of like “mankind” doesn’t just refer to men.
