I noticed people started to use the idea of “no ethical consumption under capitalism” to just be completely irresponsible and just stop trying at all. I don’t think the point of that is to give up completely lol

Tankie
You want universal healthcare? Can’t do that. Sounds like a tankie thing to say.
You think Isreal vaporizing children is bad? God, you’re such a fucking tankie.
Tankie is when you don’t want to send tanks into ukraine
They use “tankie” because they don’t like to think that anyone could be to the left of them. The libs who call themselves leftists but support NATO and oppose protests that interrupt their morning commute are the ones that use tankie the MOST
It also lets them say “commie” without saying it, and thus without sounding rhetorically identical to the far right. This lets them preserve their delusion that they have a distinct (and left wing) political position.
‘woke’ for blue fash
Was always a chauvinist left-punching term from day one. Wasn’t “co-opted” so much as “went viral for its intended purpose”
yes, I do want to send in military force to crush anti-semitic pogroms in Hungary. I am literally the worst person politically, ever
say it loud, tankie and proud
