BrutalistMcDonalds posted:the term tankie originally referred to supporters of soviet intervention in czechoslovakia, but now those who cheer on american tank columns driving through eastern europe on saber-rattling maneuvers call leftists "tankies" for thinking that's not good. the world is a messed up place feels like there was a missed opportunity to modernize it to connect it to Tiananmen, but the usual china watcher types aren't even clever enough to do that Agrajag posted:equating dumb gamer poo poo people post as owns in games to real life normal non-terminally online people is quite the leap the only people who use that hackneyed meme as a political own are terminally online gamer-adjacent dweebs

Hot Karl Marx posted:So are tankies now just anyone left of liberals? Tankies are people who make you feel insecure in your leftist/progressive credentials. They might read a little more than you, be a little more media literate than you are, have a bit more world experience. You don't always understand why they support what they support or oppose what they oppose, but sometimes they support what you oppose or oppose what you support and there has to be something, anything you can use to pull rank. Leftists should feel powerless and alienated, and anyone who feels otherwise connected to an international movement, especially if they share sympathies with AES, should be looked on with suspicion because they're going to try to convince you to care about something, and you're too drat smart to fall for that. gradenko_2000 posted:every day we grow closer to someone saying "tankie" on the floor of the US Congress Marco Rubio

In such cases, the institutions have to cut off the accounts’ ability to send or receive money for transactions, the central bank said.

Beauty standards are usually defined by some kind of clear imposition of power in cultural exchanges, like Europeans seem more "attractive" only because they ruled the world for a good hundred years+. For South Korean soft power to be so potent that white guys are starting to take Koreanization surgeries is a testament to their growing cultural hegemony.

In any compromise between food and poison, it is only death that can win. In any compromise between good and evil, it is only evil that can profit. In that transfusion of blood which drains the good to feed the evil, the compromise is the transmitting rubber tube.

AnimeIsTrash posted:How did the word tankie get so popular suddenly? Youtube/twitch debate people? ted hitler hunter posted:You start out in 1947 by saying, “socialist, socialist, socialist.” By 2016 you can’t say “socialist”—that hurts you, backfires. So you say stuff like, uh, authoritarianism, human rights, and all that stuff, and you’re getting so abstract. Now, you’re talking about opposing sending tanks into Hungary to crush resistance to Soviet communism in 1968, and all these things you’re talking about are totally theoretical things and a byproduct of them is, socialists get hurt worse than other leftists.… “We oppose tankies this,” is much more abstract than even the human rights thing, uh, and a hell of a lot more abstract than “socialist, socialist.”

chomsky also has a long and disgusting history of genocide denial and the china defenders in this thread (and presumably CSPAM but I don't go there) closely follow that playbook. raise doubts about impartiality, distort statements and motives, outright lie if necessary - but only about your targets (the vague specter of "neoliberalism" or "imperialism" - they're interchangeable depending on what crowd you find yourself in). never apply the same scrutiny to statements of the perpetrators of genocide and above all never engage with the evidence on its own merits. (particularly appalling in the case of bellingcat whose evidence is always, by definition, readily available to anyone with an internet connection and can be verified more or less trivially.) you must always attack the source by any means necessary, even - perhaps especially - if that means fundamentally undermining trust in us NGOs and media institutions. the fact that this strategy is exactly the same as that used by domestic right-wing extremists and foreign authoritarians does not seem to occur to these people, nor does it appear to bother them that when open, transparent sources are all discredited they must rely on increasingly fringe sources like grayzone, globalresearch, or just straight up sputnik. presumably they believe that they hold a monopoly on truth and therefore do not need to subject themselves to information hygiene practices like questioning assumptions and critically assessing evidence without regard to source (this is also what the right-wingers believe but that does not occur to them either)

A big part of the problem is that the framework used to describe the media in Manufacturing Consent almost inevitably leads to genocide denial, because it argues that this type of propaganda is unique to the west, and conflates how widespread media coverage of an event is with how closely that coverage aligns with US imperialism while giving inherent credibility to outsider interpretations. Thus, when the US media widely covers bad things because they're inherently newsworthy, like the Rwandan genocide, the implication is that this coverage exists because the genocide narrative further the US agenda, and therefore cannot be trusted, and that outsider voices which argue otherwise and face pushback are credible because they face pushback. It's extremely toxic and you can see the brain poisoning happening in real time. Or, in other words, its the absence of evidence is evidence taken to an absurd degree: if the Western media is covering something, then we can use this coverage to justify believing the opposite, regardless of outside facts or observable evidence. Now apply that model to something like Sandy Hook and feel horrified: that's what these people are doing, in real time.
