The admins should have a choice in the banner, but each Lemmy instance is also using that software for free and should, in the spirit of Floss, give back. Thats really all I’ll say about that because I’m not an admin nor am I a dev for either software.
Tankies deserve $0. Tankies should have to pay the rest of us reparations for all the propaganda they try to shove down our throats.
Tankies would convince you and everyone in the west to murder our entire families in the night if they could. They are the enemy, they hate all that is good and just in the world, all they know is war and submission.
…they are the enemy, they hate all that is good and just in the world, all they know is war and submission
I don’t think even Trump supporters are that horrible people. At worst, tankies are falling for Russian/Chinese/etc… propaganda, possibly due to overcorrecting from American propaganda. None of us are immune to propaganda.
Tankies are just MAGA after their regime takes root. What the CCP does to Uighurs and Tibetans is what Trump WISHES he could do. China and Russia are constantly trying to expand borders. They’re a threat to continued life on this earth, they hate us, and they’re spending massive amounts of money to spread propaganda and do us as much harm as possible.
If you want evidence of that, just look at how TikTok, a Beijing run military psyop, did everything in its power to reelect Trump in 2024 by voluntarily turning off services and blaming the Biden admin, then turning back on to thank him after the election. Trump was the Russian and Chinese backed candidate.
I think we might be having a misunderstanding. I thought of “tankies” as denizens of lemmy.ml and similar places, likely not even being Russian or Chinese themselves or living there.
I’m pretty sure you are right about Chinese and Russian imperialism. However, the average person anywhere is not a knowing supporter of imperialism themselves… that’s where propaganda comes into play.
I chill with the bears all day and nobody says that. You seem to be extremely reactionary to that ideology and I think you should step back and look at how polarized you are. It can’t be a healthy mindset. I mean you immediately responded like this and downvoted me for saying something pretty benign from a software development angle.
If we tie it back to love of China and Uyghurs we could go with “If there’s a Uyghur genocide in China, then there’s also a Black genocide in America!”
Or maybe “How do you pose a country should respond to violent separatism and terrorist attacks?”
But then it all just pivots into Ukraine and Russia. First to accuse the other of serving Putin wins. (Or loses?)
Which then provokes a call to separate genocides into ones using bombs and bullets and ones that aren’t.
Which then circles on back to Palestine and Israel.
Have you considered genociding the genociders? Nobody ever really wants to talk about using their methods against them because it’s dark, brutal, and requires dehumanizing people even if we see their actions as inhuman. So we frame the struggle as one of righteousness, remaining noble when they do not, compassionate to the point they exploit it as a weakness. We’re up against callous, selfish, cruel people of all religions, political philosophies, and immutable traits who think one of those things makes them and their tribe superior to those not of the tribe. They infiltrate, corrupt, or bypass whatever social systems we govern ourselves with, sometimes for their personal gain, sometimes for the sake of the state over the rights of the individuals within the state. People seem to accept that fighting back is sometimes the option but want it to be cinematic underdog triumph stories, as if violence as a last resort and with deep regret is more noble than using whatever opportunity one has to eliminate an enemy that has declared themselves an enemy, knows they’re brutal, dispenses death on the daily, and wouldn’t hesitate to destroy someone they identified as an enemy or undesirable.
I’ve never apologized for Netanyahu, I’ve been insulting that pos for like 2 decades.
It must be a grave insult how you carry water for his pets biden and harris.
Also, this you?
It is. Centrists will be like “it’s not voting for genocide to vote for harm reduction!” and then turn around and be like “YOU SUPPORT GENOCIDE BECAUSE YOU DID WHAT I SAID TO DO!”

Nah, fuck Tankies.

For a mental exercise, you oppose ethnic cleansing of muslim groups such as the genocide in Gaza and Lebanon, right?
You’re gonna wrap this back around to China and the Uyghurs like I’m in love with China or some shit, aren’t you?
Correct.
Damn, I had the popcorn ready an everything…
Well, you could play it out a bit from there.
If we tie it back to love of China and Uyghurs we could go with “If there’s a Uyghur genocide in China, then there’s also a Black genocide in America!”
Or maybe “How do you pose a country should respond to violent separatism and terrorist attacks?”

You’re one of the most diligent apologists for the netanyahu/biden/harris administration.
