Seen plenty of that user's comments. Russia and China can do no wrong, all western countries are bad, etc.

[–] Tolc@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Russia and China can do no wrong

never said that but ok

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

You literally called Mao top 5 humans of the last century and said the millions of deaths were justified. You're a tankie.

[–] Tolc@lemmy.world -3 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

You literally called Mao top 5 humans of the last century

Yes I did and I stand by it

said the millions of deaths were justified

I never said justified, I said he cant be solely blamed for those deaths and you are discrediting him whatever he achieved by this boogeyman logic.

I dont consider tankie as an insult

  1. I do not believe in liberalism and idea of liberal freedom liberal rights etc
  2. I am not an anarchist
  3. I believe in leninism and vangaurdism If you call those people tankies, fine by me.

No, in another comment you also said that the ones who were killed, rather than starved, deserved it.

I dont consider tankie as an insult

Personally I do, because I believe in personal liberties over authoritarian states' "right" to straight up roll tanks on civilians.

I do not believe in liberalism and idea of liberal freedom liberal rights etc

So you're an authoritarian and a bigot.

I am not an anarchist

Never claimed you were, those guys have some semblance of respect for human life. I do believe they even cherish freedom.

No I didnt? you are citing something out of context

Personally I do, because I believe in personal liberties over authoritarian states’ “right” to straight up roll tanks on civilians.

Your "liberal" state still carpet bombs people outside your borders. That proves liberalism is a shield of capitalist imperialism which you guys never learn.

So you’re an authoritarian and a bigot. Being anti liberal is common sense not bigotness, Authoritarian is a meaningless word. Every state is authoritarian

I respect human life, I do not believe in liberal idea of freedom.

Which one is that now? How is not being a bigot indicative of capitalist imperialism?

I respect human life, I do not believe in liberal idea of freedom.

You respect human life as long as the human is a slave and correct race and sexuality, got it.

  1. Oh yeah that one yes I agree it was a civil war after all

  2. Seems like you are unaware of how western imperialism operates

  3. I never said anything about slavery race or sexuality and equality in those regards and they arent linked to liberalism whatsoever. Best women rights in 20th century was in communist states, soviet union legalized abortion in 1921 and decriminalized homosexuality around the same time. Liberalism do not have copyright to these stuff.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 1 points 8 hours ago

Liberty means freedom and you said you're against liberty.

Like I've tried to explain to you 10 times, the word liberalism in the context of eastern european politics or even modern western conservative political talk has NOTHING to do with any economic policies. Liberalism almost exclusively means caring about social justice. You can be a full-on communist or a "taxation is theft" libertarian, but if you support LGBT rights or dislike racism, congratulations, you're now a liberal in current political parlance, at least in the corner of the world and political circles that this article is discussing.

You use "liberal" as an insult because you to you it means private property, freedom to choose your own job and where you live, etc. The far right uses "liberal" as an insult because to them it means "not a bigot".

You might be a tankie if...

You use "libshit" unironically.

I hate liberalism and I will insult liberals if they argue in bad faith, I dont care about your labels, this is just ad hominem you are engaging in

[–] CanadaPlus@futurology.today 6 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

I will insult

this is just ad hominem you are engaging in

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 1 points 7 hours ago

Every accusation is a confession.

Works with tankies, too. Which makes sense, given that they're just a coat of red paint away from fascists themselves.

As they say on TV, thank you, no further questions.
