    Republicans move to the right. Democrats prevent moving back to the left. Democrats blame the left for noticing.

      Tankies are just fascists in socialist clothing. They blame liberals for noticing.

          Nah y’all tend to hide under your own beds. I mostly just see tankies on the internet talking loudly about revolution while being too disconnected from reality to be able to even have a conversation with someone in the working class.

          Also see them protesting in favour of fascists, but again, too disconnected from reality to influence anyone.

          Just annoying nuisances.

            See, I was wondering if you were calling me a tankie. Now I know. I’d tell you to enjoy watching Netanyahu’s genocide, but I don’t think I need to.

              Unlike the TikTokers you watch who are profiting off the suffering from the war Hamas started (and therefore are encouraging Hamas to continue it indefinitely), I don’t enjoy anything about it.

                You’re bad at guessing things about me. Keep it up, I’m interested in seeing where this fanfic goes.

                  Ok so maybe you load up commondreams.ord and see a donate request form strategically placed so you can see a photo of crying Palestinians while you decide whether or not you want to donate to “good people” that are providing the narrative you want?

                  You’re on the side of monetized suffering. You want to feel holier than thou, so you pay to see suffering and you’re provided imagery of the suffering you demand. The leaders of Hamas are billionaires living in palaces in Qatar because of this business model.

                  But you can’t fathom that you might be part of something evil, because you lack the ability to do any critical thinking and introspection. You believe you’re good person, so any cause you’re a part of must be good. Anyone against your cause most be evil. You can’t question anything or it all falls apart.

                    I see. You imagine that everyone who doesn’t love Netanyahu’s genocide must be a Hamas supporter, just like you imagine that anyone to your left must be a tankie.
