Sorry, I must be the dumbest person who ever tried to be a leftist.

So the first guy criticized libs (seems like the answer is fox news type libs) and then I asked him to clarify and another person replied saying he means not-tankies (so leftists that aren’t neolibs/or just communists maybe?). At that point the first guy replies saying he knows what tankie means and that the other guy actually doesn’t. That’s when I replied again.

Now it seems like you (and voters) are saying the guy that replied to me was in fact correct in his usage meaning she didn’t guy’s actually a tankienor maybe a conservative? I get lost there. Surely the first guy isn’t an authoritarian communist. Like what? Someone help!

I just want to communicate with other political junkies and nerds that want to fight capitalism… someday, somebow.

Interesting. I looked at the urban dictionary definition, which was super helpful from a historical perspective (people that support sending in the tanks). But appreciate the straightforward answer. Thanks!

Not sure why people were offended by my comment. Maybe I could’ve worded the question better. It’s weird if people expect others to know this super obscure shit no one ever really talks about anywhere else.

Alright fuck it, I’ll ask: what do you think tankie means?

And more-importantly, what did you actually mean? lol

Doesn’t fox refer to anyone to the left of the American center as liberal? I’m not super versed but I was thinking it wouldn’t make sense to call socialists, neoliberals, and communists all liberals and I def don’t think fox is being that specific

You’re not communicating your point very well. Do you mean like neoliberal liberal or like fox news liberals?

Fair enough. Thanks for explaining. To me, it seems like influencer is used to put down anyone that makes money from yt, insta, tt, etc.

That’s almost all the content/format I watch. So it’s weird to think people just don’t care if they get paid because they depend on ad revenue.

Do you consider twitch streamers influencers or entertainers? I don’t watch many but I’d assume they’re worse in your mind when some have a gaming chair they’re promoting and/or they were directly sponsored by the game they’re playing.

Does everyone know that? Influencer seems to be used for anyone that makes money from youtube, insta, tiktok, etc.

Also, why y’all so hostile to basic questions? Does everyone here already think the same? No questions allowed? lol. Alright I’m done.

Read it back. It kinda seems like all you said was we should criticize both sides, you just listed out leaders instead and hid behind the word, nuance.

You’re not really saying anything of substance. You’re at risk of being so open-minded your brain’s almost falling out.

Maybe, you could’ve just said there were very fine people on both sides

I mean, I’ve had a couple people parrot the idea that we should be helping Americans instead of helping Ukraine fight against the occupying Russian forces.

If that isn’t supporting Putin, then what is? Is it only support if you blatantly verbalize your support? That’s like the people that think Americans aren’t racist because we aren’t lynching black and brown people in the streets for community entertainment anymore.

Sorry, what’s that mean, or imply?

I mean, what you’re doing is definitely worse than being rude. This goes beyond basic ignorance. You’re being a bad person. You’re demonstrating to all that your parents did a terrible job raising you. Be better or live with the shame forever

What do y’all call people that make video essays or make funny skits but make money if ads? I thought most of us understood the game and weren’t hating the players as much

With the state of free to play games, looking at you, the finals, I can’t justify buying games I’ll never even have time to play

…which is fine. The finals is great!

Do you seriously believe what you wrote here? You think most Americans understand how primaries work? That’s fascinating.

I can’t tell if ignorance is bliss, or if you’re just optimistic

Oh, you must be new here
