Someone who supports Palestine and is against the US is not automatically a Tankie. But if this person at the same time makes excuses for the Russian invasion or argues that Taiwan belongs to China, then they are.
Hypocrisy (lying / arguing in bad faith) is exactly what makes the difference between a leftist and a Tankie.
Please don't call them "the far left". They're just pretending, in reality they're authoritarians defending Russia, China and Iran, while shitting on the West at every opportunity.
It's getting worse lately with the tankies here. Seems like hexbear and lemmygrad are spilling over, not a surprise shortly before the election but I'm worried people will leave because of it.
I just think it's better to ask if someone is a raging asshole instead of implying it from the get go.
Are you implying that Hitler should have "finished the job" in regards to the Jews?
Nothing to do with Russian interference either?
According to the special counsel investigation's Mueller Report (officially named "Report on the Investigation into Russian Interference in the 2016 Presidential Election"),[42] the first method of Russian interference used the Internet Research Agency (IRA), a Kremlin-linked troll farm, to wage "a social media campaign that favored presidential candidate Donald J. Trump and disparaged presidential candidate Hillary Clinton".[43] The Internet Research Agency also sought to "provoke and amplify political and social discord in the United States".[44]
The tactic was always to also shit as much on the competition as possible. They literally hacked her emails to do so.
There is no doubt that the same thing is happening again right now.
Can Biden be criticized for his behavior? Sure! Are bad faith actors piggybacking on this situation and amplifying the "Genocide Joe"-narrative ? Absolutely.
Ahja, Instanzen wie hexbear.net, schon traurig hier nicht die freshen memes direkt aus Petersburg zu bekommen und stattdessen nur die B-Ware von lemmy.ml :(
I think you're mixing things up a bit. LineageOS, GrapheneOS etc. are not what people refer to as "mobile Linux", mobile Linux would be Ubuntu touch, mobian etc.
Btw. do you know about Sailfish OS?
Let's see what Erdogan comes up with. A nice false flag attack maybe?
I hope it all fails and he can soon hide together with Bolsonaro in Hungary.
What's with the cyrillic in the corner? Is this an official Soviet anti-us propaganda poster?
No, but the point is your hypocrisy. I never said that lifting the sanctions is right.
But "Jesus fuck" would it never cross my mind to call the person who is ordering those atrocities in Gaza a scapegoat.
Edit: Looks like Biden didn't lift anything.
It all boils down to the question if we should care about people arguing in bad faith.
Carlson proved to be Putin's mouthpiece, everything he says follows an agenda, which is, as mentioned in the article, to divide the US.
Does it matter that he and a lot of people on social media just play pretend because they want to hurt Bidens chances of reelection?
I think it should be allowed to be pointed out, even though they're not wrong. They just don't care about Palestinians. For Carlson at least that much is obvious.
