Elect: to select by vote for an office, position, or membership. by Merriam Dictionary

I thought voting "doesn't work?" Are you telling his logic isn't even consistent by his own standards.

This is the same instance sheltering the well-known troll Universal Monk.

The tankies communities quickly collapse when challenged first Hexbear now Vegantheoryclub. It's almost as if their foundation is weak.

  • None of these really prove they’re a tankie though. Most of these are saying they’re not. Seems dubious.

    • I'd put anarchist and any other extreme views under that category.

        Anarchists are literally the opposite of tankies

        • When you go off the deep end they are all about the same. I get where you are coming from but I think extreme views are ultimately not rational.

          • Extremism is relative. To a monarchist, representative democracy is extreme. To a traditionalist, women having rights is extreme. To a feudal lord, capitalism is extreme. To a slaver, abolitionism is extreme.

            Very often, 'extreme' views aren't rational, true. But moderate views generally aren't rational either. As General Sherman once opined, regarding why so many otherwise ordinary people blithely accepted slavery as a fact of life, even in the North, "Man is a creature of habit, not originality."

            Anarchism, or libertarian socialism, is not particularly irrational inherently. I think it makes some vital miscalculations, but history shows that anarchism, in practice, can work. Maybe not wholly in the way of idealists' dreams, but what ideology does? I simply disagree that it is the optimal path forward for human civilization.

      • Well that’s just not what the word means. Check out the sidebar for the proper view.

      • EDIT: I'm not on the instance I thought I was lol
