    Firstly, a Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, used to describe a person who sides with the Tanks in events such as the USSR’s use of force against the Hungarians in 1956 and the CCP’s against tiananmen square and other protests across China in 1989. They support Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the Chinese occupation of Hong Kong, Taiwan, Tibet, etc. They oppose NATO, and will use any excuse to shame or drag through the mud western europe and north america, they will even use Israel’s genocide as an example while doing everything in their power to keep the war going. Some of them are the maintainers for Lemmy, but explicitly not Piefed, and they have a very strong presence here, read up about it here: https://lemmy.world/post/29072279


    Secondly, I personally think Harris’ plan to tax unrealized gains over $1M would have been an amazing step forward for this country, and that she would have continued Biden’s legacy of expanding medical care, expanding protections for gay marriage and LGBT+, pursing green energy solutions, and protection public lands.

    I personally think the DNC’s platform of reversing Citizens United is absolutely necessary to save this nation, and I think we would see the most progressive congress in this nation’s history if we could get at least 60 DNC senators rather than the 48 or less we’ve had for over a decade.

    Mine is this:

    • FASCISTS ARE ENTERING THE WHITEHOUSE
    • FASCISTS ARE IN THE WHITEHOUSE
    • FASCISTS ARE IN THE WHITEHOUSE
    • FASCISTS ARE IN THE WHITEHOUSE
    • FASCISTS ARE IN THE WHITEHOUSE
    • FASCISTS ARE IN THE WHITEHOUSE
    • FASCISTS ARE IN THE WHITEHOUSE
    • FASCISTS ARE IN THE WHITEHOUSE
    • FASCISTS ARE IN THE WHITEHOUSE
    • FASCISTS ARE IN THE WHITEHOUSE
    • FASCISTS ARE IN THE WHITEHOUSE
    • FASCISTS ARE IN THE WHITEHOUSE

    And a bunch of fucking Tankies on here are still selling that both sides bad bullshit that caused this, and I think some people are still buying it.

    I’m gonna die of aneurysm if we make it to the third Trump term.

    By assuming that person will be human and have human needs and wants based on the instincts crafted from hundreds of millions of years of evolution, with about 8 billion living examples to work with and the tangible results of about 110 billion past examples.

    All humans are assholes, they all have selfish desires, the key here is to plan around that so that the most beneficial thing for the individual is what is beneficial for all of us, and that is already almost always the case even though it’s not always obvious to them.
