In my experience the highest risk of tankie brain are in purely American groups, whereas more international groups have a higher chance of doing better. I have a lithuanian co-worker, and recently had the privilege of watching her chew out a pair of podcast socialists at my work when they started spouting pro-USSR talking points about the Cold War. Formerly-colonized peoples have very little patience for bougie little shits thinking they have the real scoop on what eastern Europeans want. capitalcomma fucked around with this message at 20:54 on Jun 3, 2023 |

Dr. Quarex posted:I tried to read about how the Democratic Socialists of America ended up with this position and as far as I can tell from reading until my eyes rolled so far up they fell out the problem is Ukraine joining NATO means they are not self-determining Joining the USSR at gunpoint? self-determining. Joining the Warsaw Pact at gunpoint? self-determining. CSTO? that trade union putin is making? Novorussia? The next moving-the-goalposts version of Minsk that Putin will totally honor this time? self-determining. The only "self-determination" options that are valid are ones that put Ukraine under moscow's boot. Funny, that. capitalcomma fucked around with this message at 21:14 on Jun 3, 2023 |

'tankie' as a term was spawned because of the Communist Party of Great Britain supporting the USSR quashing rebellions in Warsaw Pact countries it's everywhere lmfao. hell, i'm pretty sure specifically during this war there were posts in this thread or a previous incarnation of it about... Sweden's? - Communist party just lock step falling behind supporting Russia. They apparently backed off from it after massive amounts of backlash, but their initial reaction was straight up tankie brain.

the historic opposition of the DSA and its forebears to actually existing communism served as a guardrail against veering into leftier-than-thou campism during the tortuous arc of the New Left, so ironically the non-communism of contemporary Russia is probably a factor there

CAT INTERCEPTOR posted:A hell of a lot of people who think they are politically aware are prime targets of propaganda and misinformation - because said misinformation and propaganda works all so well on them Having governments comprised of Luddites with no clue how any of the tech works doesn't help either, they can't protect the populace when they don't even understand what Tik-Tok is let alone how harmful Facebook et al is with regards to privacy. It's gonna take lawsuits to establish precedence, and not preventative measures in place- the cart's before the horse in that regard. And then, in the US at least- Citizen's United, which should be illegal under Sherman Anti-trust laws at a minimum, (IANAL) but corporations are now essentially people, so the companies behind the social media privacy threats are spending huge bucks to make sure the Luddites stay in power, and not the tech-savvy

For anyone who hasn't looked it up before, you have to check out some of the YouTube videos of old Sprint missile test launches (the endo-atmosheric interceptor part of Safeguard). That missile had absolutely insane kinematic performance. 1st stage burnout in less than two seconds. By second stage burnout (5-10 seconds or so) it was glowing white hot from air drag as it ripped through the atmosphere trying to get to its intercept point.

They spend so much time sitting in an echo chamber echosystem that spends so much time bashing anyone who disagrees with them, that they discount anything that goes against their worldviews out of hand. Because they're bad. No other thinking needed. Its something none of us are immune to.

By second stage burnout (5-10 seconds or so) it was glowing white hot from air drag as it ripped through the atmosphere trying to get to its intercept point. It goes from zero to Mach 10 in less than 5 seconds. The entire premise was that nuclear decoys would fail on re-entry so once below 70km only real nukes would remain, moving at 5km/s. Hence you build a real fast missle that carries a nuclear warhead to fly to intercept them at like 15km above ground in the 10 seconds you've got before the nukes hit and blow up the incoming nuke swarm with a nuke of your own. the entire thing was shitcanned because it was pretty easy to see that an ABM system was going to cost more than an equivalent amount of nukes would cost, and ultimately would hence fail. Eventually I think they were only deployed around ICBM silos in the US arsenal rather than population centres, solely to limit the damage of a first strike against the US arsenal and hence more reliably allow a counterattack. Even then it got shitcanned for the same reason.
