Again, they are not *born* like that, they are not **born** as people who will become more sexist if accused of sexism or shown sexism in broader society, inherently; they are **damaged into** creatures which react like that. We must understand where this happens, how this happens - in the very **many** ways that it does happen - and how to counter it when removing the circumstances is not an immediate option. 2025-02-10T06:48:50Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsy4r5d0uk4hn7xp8ckgwth6048zrll7acdnlm4etmfrwqah78z8dgzyps9xt482mevxy5n5ttw2f240jh2mgvvcqav6lmhmnxkxsq7h435w88rpv2 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsz6r0ewnh5pyus393n64l7438vvvc7d22l77rdu6wr7ea85ldfn5qd3m9fp'>nevent1q…m9fp</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>&gt; Because they’re Nazis.<br/><br/>But why do people **become** Nazis?<br/><br/>People are not born Nazis.<br/><br/>Understanding why people become Nazis helps prevent people from becoming Nazis, even if you think there&#39;s no hope for the fucks who&#39;ve already dived into the ideology. 2025-02-10T06:16:49Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsvu4pknqkrj07qp3syqqkmyezs27v2phgu07angypz30pkhunz4lczyps9xt482mevxy5n5ttw2f240jh2mgvvcqav6lmhmnxkxsq7h435wzazqxn In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqgc2qq2kary8njlh4nnpm8mssazpw7asv4hzdvryxwm3dtsctuvs0xs6nz'>nevent1q…s6nz</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>No no, you see, China hasn&#39;t invaded or oppressed anyone because the reactionaries they did it to deserved it. 2025-02-10T01:58:58Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsyxar9t759dxcr9fcy3h0e6ru4na9kgd7l9zjk66gcfhalv7m7djczyps9xt482mevxy5n5ttw2f240jh2mgvvcqav6lmhmnxkxsq7h435w3s5k7j In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsgzuvejpzlml9ynj74r267l9csutjm450nndx50kpr5lvjdyl2kfcdmcaml'>nevent1q…caml</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Not inherently.

If you nail them down on the topic of Russia, specifically, they will disavow modern Russia precisely because it isn&#39;t painted red. But for **every** action on the international stage, they will unfailingly support Russia, because Russia is against the West&#39;s &#39;camp&#39;. Same with Iran.<br/><br/>On the other hand, if you nail them down on the USSR and the PRC, *actual* tankies will almost always outright speak in support of both, if not necessarily unconditionally. Though the conditions they apply are... party-approved. In the spirit of &#34;MAYBE there were SOME excesses and bad choices, but also you have to understand that the bourgeois FORCED us to take most of these measures!&#34; that dedicated Communists who got swept up into the GULAG still parroted to their fellow inmates during the Stalin years.<br/><br/>Regimes with a **very** thin coat of red paint, like Assad&#39;s Syria, still often receive this bootlicking treatment from actual tankies. 2025-02-06T08:21:05Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsy7nntr7ujtu3ml5r5c868e7xdu0ve2s58uug0zrhaysqphtku7vgzyps9xt482mevxy5n5ttw2f240jh2mgvvcqav6lmhmnxkxsq7h435w3p6kpt In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqszmrcjgph7hssx2mp67euymlxhhlr6s2ru56g6pqh254gw2nr94qs2xnyae'>nevent1q…nyae</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>For me, a tankie is someone who plays apologist for fundamentally authoritarian regimes just because those regimes are painted red.<br/><br/>I would say there&#39;s a larger Chomskyite-style group of useful idiots who often get lumped in with tankies, but who are not, themselves, actual supporters of authoritarian-style socialism. They just eagerly eat up and regurgitate agitprop from actual tankies. Campist brainrot often runs rampant here, but they aren&#39;t actual tankies. I sometimes mock them with similar lines, though, under the old &#34;Nine Nazis at a table&#34; logic - when you&#39;re working for fascists, whether you agree, strictly speaking, with their ideology is of less importance. <br/><br/>Basically every leftist who **doesn&#39;t** believe that the path to socialism is by a vanguard party detached from actual democratic processes taking control of the entirety of society and enforcing its will on the populace is not an actual tankie. 2025-02-06T08:03:33Z
