general reminder that 196 is literal children
they did a census and most people are under 20r/ between the ages of 19 and 6
1, 9 or 6
That certainly explains why it’s ’s favourite subreddit
Yeah the Vaushites are rabid there, I used to occasionally kick the hornets nest by reminding them of the loli porn and how he threatened to SA a girl who turned him down.
loli
As a fun trick, just call it what it is: pedophilia. And then see how they react.
my favourite thing that funimation ever did was they translated “lolicon” to “paedophile” in a couple of anime
people were so angry lmaoWhat is the difference, weebs?
What is the difference, weebs?
Lmao that’s literally what it means, it literally has 2 meanings, pedo material and pedo. When used to describe a person it just means pedo. That’s it. That’s literally it
The term is derived from two words roughly meaning “child sex abuse victim” and “mental disorder” as in “you have a mental disorder that makes you want to do sexual abuse of children.”
mental disorder
I think quite a few rich kiddie creepers get off to the cruelty and the power trip and there was no inherited disorder required.
Mental disorders can be developed as well
Yeah for sure. “mental disorder” refers to the word “complex” which is what the “con” means.
Yes, Tankies, who famously sport shaved heads and red suspenders and also listen to white supremacist music. Textbook tankie right there.
Edit: STOP UPBEARING ME! THIS IS NOT A GOOD COMMENT!
Don’t forget the Swastika and SS tattoos plus a MAGA hat!
listen to white supremacist music
Those damn tankies and their love of…checks notes…RAC?
This is a shitty edit of some anti-alt right cartoon from like 2015
Ah, but you have to understand, Nazi Germany’s and the Soviet Union’s governments both did stuff, so they’re basically the same.
Also wearing a maga hat lol
chaser sub is politically illiterate
I’m shocked that a bunch of disgusting losers who fetishize trans people all day have stupid ideas
I know that the people on that subreddit are kids, but what generally is the issue with “tankies” about? Socialists support actual socialist countries, don’t believe US propaganda, and don’t support the US imperialist order. Is it basically just “western left anti-communism” out straight of Blackshirts and Reds, or more general USian political illiteracy (i.e. I’m a socialist like Norway shit)?
It’s both anti-communism and political illiteracy. I would add that people are generally averse to believe their neighbors and leaders are less evil than foreigners, especially because both cheaper consumer goods and easy credit provide the impression of capitalist freedom and liberal democracy being better alternatives than socialist equality and a socialist state.
“might makes right” as it were. The grievances against capitalism by r/196 and other western Berniecrats are because the superprofits and welfare aren’t being distributed as they once were to our antecedent generations. Using violence or political activism outside of voting or light protesting is out of the question because their standard of living is still bearable and preferable than to fight and die for, what liberals-masquerading-as-socialists effectively want, a welfare state.
it’s definitely western anti-communism. calling them left is honestly giving them too much credit. they’re against transphobia (because for better and worse, white USian transfemininity is culturally linked to spending a lot of time posting online). i don’t think they have any particularly radical anti-racist, anti-capitalist, or feminist analysis outside of that.
Most of the anti tankie posters, especially the most vehement, would call themselves anarchists
Increasingly the bulk of “anti-tankie” posters are liberals and “socialist” socdems (liberals) by dint of the term becoming slightly more mainstream.
Well I’m an anarchist and I’d call them various rude names.
I’m not saying you have to polish off Xi’s taint, but if you’re an anarchist toeing the US State Department’s line, you would literally be doing more for yourself and the people around you if you just decided to commit to liberalism.
because for better and worse, white USian transfemininity is culturally linked to spending a lot of time posting online
it hurts because it’s true
because for better and worse, white USian transfemininity is culturally linked to spending a lot of time posting online
Hey foreign countries are like that too, I know plenty of powerful trans Chinese posters
oh? based
I agree with all the other comments here but I want to add one more to it.
It’s nationalism. Mostly american nationalism, but also a “western” nationalism that is basically “i support the imperial core”, aka the “international community”.
Everyone that properly gives up on nationalism and becomes an internationalist does not fall into this group’s mindset. There are internationalists that disagree with us on many things but they don’t see us with this childish analysis of good vs evil (where the US and the imperial core are on the side of good).
This nationalism that resides deep down is also a major difference between scratched libs becoming fascists vs scratched libs that do not. Also a major aspect between those who “support Ukraine”(nationalism) and those who want an end to the war.
This is what people miss when they describe it. They are not just not knowing, they have been taught all of the life that the western camp is right and that all other are lying. They believe that they are better. Also than indigenous people. This is why they dismiss them so easily.
We aren’t doing enough to target nationalism and promote internationalism and I keep saying it in the hopes that someone will come along with like better ideas than I have that translates to better propaganda. We have a lot of effective tools for being anti cop or anti troops or anti america or anti racism etc etc but I rarely come across anything that is anti-nationalism. I think it’s one of the biggest things we ought to be doing but I don’t know effective tools for it.
Once we get people over the hump and out of nationalism this shit will become so much easier.
The term originated from those who followed the party line of the Soviet Union. Specifically, those who supported the use of tanks to quell the 1956 Hungarian Revolution were the original tankies. Today, it is used by liberals in the same way that a boomer would call Democrats “commies”.
It is typically used as an insult by liberals who believe that they are the most progressive people on the planet. Instead of facing the harsh realities that they support fascist and imperialist policies or that someone else might be to the left of them politically, they instead berate anyone who calls them out on it.
If you don’t support NATO, you’re a tankie. If you have anything good to say about China, you’re a tankie. If you don’t think France should invade Niger - tankie. If you oppose sending tanks to Ukraine - TANKIE.
Noooo please don’t knock off my MAGA hat, I hate it when that happens!
It’s a lot easier to shadowbox a vague memory of a threat from the early 90s than it is to handle the actual threats of today.
Um, Screwdriver (the band) is explicitly nazis. This makes no sense.
The original meme is “kick Nazis out of punk”
Thanks! That makes much more sense and now I like it.
They just lazily repurposed an anti-fascist meme lmao
Never forget, tankies liberated Auschwitz
https://www.yadvashem.org/artifacts/featured/liberation/diary-auschwitz.html
Something extremely astonishing was then seen in Auschwitz: the ‘Häftlings’ (prisoners) who had tasted too much vodka staggered through the streets, to the delight of the Soviet soldiers.
And they, who had already divested themselves of their white capes, astonished us with their beards, their mustaches. The Red Star stood out on their fur hats. And there were female soldiers, similar to the male soldiers, armed as they were, and driving mules hitched to sleds. They surrounded us, as surprised as we were. And already we were “tovarish” (comrades).
… For two days I took advantage of the sunshine to go and wash in the snow. I was rather weak, but how can I describe my joy that once again I was free, that once again I could walk without holding myself at attention among the Blocks. That it was good to sit myself down on one of the benches on the perimeter. This was the first time that something like this had happened to me, and in the observation towers it was Soviets who were standing guard."
Alexander Mayer
I remember some really touching stories from camp survivors. One was a girl that had never tasted chocolate before and was basically adopted by a medical detachment of the red army and they kept bringing her all sorts of strange foods to her delight
Isn’t that the “leftwing” radlib sub that worships a pedophile and defends loli porn
Can’t say I’m surprised dipshits like that would take an anti-fascist meme and turn it on its head
