Yes, the Catholic Church “provoked” Henry VIII to murder his wives as well. Or maybe when you choose to murder people you are still accountable for murdering them.

It’s like saying “I told my ex who still lives in the neighborhood they can’t be friends with any new men, and she did it anyways so I blame it on the men for provoking me and I went over to her house and tried to strangle her to death.”

“I’m innocent, it was the new friends that made me do it”

Tough Monday?

They are just trying to say that you don’t want all your eggs in one basket. In my opinion it’s better to have it posted once on either and it shows up in my list. The logic is that if everyone posts on 1 instance, that instance ends up having more power over other instances. For instance it can defederate with another instance and since all the content is on theirs those users would be forced to start over, or join the bigger instance and abide by their rules. Slowly you end up back in a situation like reddit. Where maybe they put ads in, and you have to choose ads and active number of users, or no ads and very little content starting fresh. Spreading out content helps combat enshitification if you will.

I seem to remember Captain Morgan commercials, Jameson, various Vodka commercials, is it a specific state that you are in maybe?

Surely shaming people and making them feel bad for their choices will work this time, not just cause more animosity in the world. People with drinking problems usually do so to escape something, to bad we can fix those underlying issues.

So you think attempting to deliver fake electors to the capitol building to declare the loser of the election the winner to not be an insurrection? Because that’s what happened on January 6th. The crowds, rioting, guns, zip ties, threats and pipe bombs were all just extra

So you think it will just never be used in mainstream media like I was saying?

I didn’t say what I believed, I was discussing the usage of the term tankie in mainstream media. If it were used, I would assume western media would voice it with the red scare propaganda that is always pushed. With the media conglomerates jostling to find a way to fall in line with Trump’s administration I figure they’d label anything left of them a violent communistic extremest group.

This is why I don’t think this term will ever really leave usage on the internet moving forward.(not talking about historical use in GB and such). It seems many people believe it means something different. Not that I want it to be a mainstream media term.

Not that stack exchange users are the end all be all of what one should believe is correct, but this was what they showed as their agreed definition.

The parts about supporting the aggressive putting down of a rebellion with tanks is what usually has people tie in the supporting authoritarian violence. If you look at it from the other side one would would argue the ends justified the means which was to stop an escalation and thus a possible war as well. So really all sides of the term were going to be tied to aggression and supporting one mindedness ruling over another.

I don’t see anyone using it as a compliment for anyone anytime soon

I thought it had to include the pro authoritarian and often pro war aspect of it. So a Marxist/communist or what not wouldn’t fall into tankies without the call for an authoritarian leader like Stalin.

No worries, shit happens, I hope your day only gets better.

Thanks, I found the first site and was looking through it. Some of it looks interesting, other parts are clear propoganda though. Things like this sow doubt in everything else:

Turning deaths from a virus into a game like comparison, and only cherry picking the information that makes one country look good. When in the end death rates were high.

Example:

Atlanta Falcons 28

New England Patriots 3

Looks great… But the Patriots won the “game.” Honestly it feels gross to even compare deaths to games… But that’s what they are implying.

I like a lot of the other things they have to say though.

Also exactly what you told me to do… You told me to do nothing in your comment. So you just have been remembering another comment. All you did was complain that America has always been bad.

Where can I find information on PSL by the way?
Edit: found it here https://pslweb.org/

What party?

Hot take that so many post here. What are you doing to change it? Hitting a downvote button? Wow, that’ll change the country.

This take has, is, and never will, change anything. Absolutely useless anchors. You’re not starting a revolution. Either fucking do something or live with it.

When did I say Biden didn’t want the ban? I said the Democrats wanted it too and showed they voted for it? Do you only absorb information you want to absorb?

Congratulations, you fell for their 2 party stick

That’s good, thanks for the info.

That’s good, thanks for the info.

Ita a democratic republic, which the term Republic right from the start tells you it is run by representatives. Oligarchy refers to a government run by the few. The line between representatives and few leaders isn’t a thick one. It was fickle to start with.

I don’t know enough about their language. Do speakers of Mandarin and Cantonese use the same alphabet?
