accelerationism doesn't work. it has never worked. now we have to try to implement our changes in an environment evenemore resistant to them
I'm struggling to connect this comment to the post. Mind helping me out? Is "we" Afghan anarchists? tankies?
tankies like the taliban because they make things worse for the people under their control. tankies tell on themselves when they support these repressive fucks. they don't actually care about liberation for everyone. they care that they appear smart and right. they attach themselves to liberatory politics to appear right. they attach themselves to vile movements that are liberatory adjacent to appear like they are playing a brave game of chess. the truth, though, is they are enabling troublesome forces that will never help the common man.
in my comment, "we" was anarchists in general because all across the globe authoritarianism is on the rise. in effect, the old world order is collapsing and various factions of fascism (because make no mistake, bolshevism is a fascism) are about to battle for who owns… us. it's grim. anarchists may be tempted to coalition with tankies, on account of some similar economic policy, but make no mistake, they are lot good allies
Ah okay cool, thanks for the detailed explanation!
On the surface, it sounded like the comments progressives make on posts about voting third party in the US presidential election
nope. i was vehemently against that method of thought
Same, I blocked everyone saying that lol
i took a long hiatus. i'm still not sure being back on lemmy is a good thing for me. so much propaganda getting spread that's unhelpful to our overall aims, and presence gives power to the propagandist
Literally what are you talking about
If I work up the ambition later today I'll sort through my unorganized .ml cringe folder and get some examples from Lemmy itself.
But other than literally all that, what are you on about?
Are the "tankies" in the room with you right now?
ml saying tankies don't exist. Mate you're still federated with grad.
Amazing, isn't it, that every user of .ml seems to have never seen a tankie before in their life, despite the moderators of most of the big communities there being the kinds of people who will literally and outright play apologist for Soviet tanks crushing the Hungarian Revolution.
Where are the "tankies" that prefer the taliban to Afghanistan anarchists?
You're right. The other pile should say "literally any western country" and it'd be much more accurate.
Thanks for agreeing with me that this meme is stupid
As long as you agree that tankies love authoritarians that don't like the west.
No, but there is one hiding in your mirror.
Always a .ml, you can't make this shit up
I wish, that way I could bash the fash.
