Referring to people as "tankies"
Openly cheerleading a military intervention and while directly acknowledging that the US's stated goal of spreading democracy abroad is actually just a form of punishing politically opposed governments
Someone tell me what's going on here. Is it possible to go beyond lack of self-awareness into negative self-awareness?
- I'm writing a star trek parody with tankies called star tenk where the proton torpedoes are powered by releasing self-awareness and anti-self-awareness particles to blow up NATO imperialists.
  
  If we could power a ship with anti-self awareness we'd be blasting off to warp 10 and becoming salamanders
- The counter rolls back from 0 to +255, its a weird bug in the system that nobody's ever patched out.
Liberals also said Hamas was going to be obliterated in less than a week. Who even is this guy?
- He's a NAFO weeb who runs in the same circles as Laser Pig. Basically the type of life form protozoa look down on.
The US has never found a solution to the "what if we murder hundreds of thousands or even millions of civillians but they don't surrender and keep fighting us?" Problem.
As predicted we really arrived at the point where "tankie" means just anyone who won't bootlick US while emitting loud slurping sounds all over the internet.
Vietcong
- The mountains in Yemen are also 6000-8000 ft above sea level on average, while those in Vietnam were only 2000
  Pretty much every city is surrounded by 8000 ft mountains. Because if they weren't, there'd be no rain there and there'd be no city in the first place
  And if there's one thing that white people aren't evolutionarily accustomed to, it's mountains (and flavor and sugar and sunlight etc)
Ukraine and Palestine flags, pro-US intervention. This person has rocks for brains.
- "I support Palestinians, I just wish they would stop being so violent towards Israel."
You could sneeze on the American navy and it would collapse, from the extremely aged and decrepit ships to the intensely overworked sailors
- Remember when they fired that commander for actually giving a shit about his crew during one of the early COVID waves? Pinnacle of strategic thinking is turning your navy into coffin ships.
  
  Remember when they lost a war game against Iran so they called time out and just changed the rules to make themselves win?
ITT we learn the real tankies were the neocons we met along the way (to invading Kabul and Baghdad)
- So the Trots were the true tankies
  
  Always were.
  
  The whole "exporting the revolution" thing is basically proto-tankieism.
- Fuckin Trots, man
same tbh
- If the houthis manage to sink billions of dollars of aircraf carrier, the only logical conclusion would be that Allah is, in fact, ackbar.
"Democracy"
Oh, is it not real democracy or something?
- common "are we the baddies" moment
- a lot of pro-imperialists make this joke because they are aware its not actual democracy, they just celebrate racist violence more than they will ever celebrate their vague idea of "democracy"
- they're past the stage where they believe the empire's bullshit rationalizations. They still support the empire because they're chauvinists, but they're in an ironic stage where they are embracing the true nature of imperial violence.
  It's similar to the landlord LARPing as an oppressed class, People of Land, talking about how evil tenets are, etc. that happens in neoliberal corners of Reddit
hilarious to call us "tankies" while so obviously getting off on the idea of war and one-sided destruction. I thought rolling in military vehicles to oppress and invade was the entire 'critique' of the term "tankie" but it's them chastising and mocking those calling for peace
USS Cole says what?
