jokes posted:conservative men don't know and don't care about anything to do with real-world pregnancies, they only accept the most simple, cartoon version of a thing. for pregnancy that's "woman has sex, gets pregnant, and a fresh republican is born" had a boomer coworker when trump came to office who lost his mind and turned megachud. but he was also known to brag about when he was young he would sell drugs and drug women at the bar...this person worked as an occupational therapist in the hospital. I was very openly not ok with his bullshit. also he was an alcholic.

 quote:Kelsie Norris-De La Cruz tried not to cry as the doctor in the emergency room delivered one of the most frightening diagnoses a pregnant woman can receive. The 25-year-old college senior was told she likely had an ectopic pregnancy, a highly dangerous condition where the embryo implants outside of the uterus. Without immediate treatment, the fallopian tube can rupture — and the patient can die.

WHY BONER NOW posted:Dumb question but what is a tankie? I thought it was a militant leftist but I might be wrong In theory it was supposed to mean "someone who is a supporter of militant opposition to capitalism by communism" but like a lot of things has ended up being "People who are willing to full-throatedly support anyone and anything that is anti-US/western, even capitalist or effectively capitalist governments or those doing terrible things." It comes up a lot with discussion of Russia lately because there are people who've decided that Russia, in doing something the US opposes, must be objectively in the right and everyone else is the wrong in ways that have become increasingly far right wing because you're not immune to getting deep in a right wing echo chamber even if you start on the left. Obviously this doesn't apply to everyone who the term "Tankie" is applied to and the term is sometimes just used to mean "extreme leftist/someone who has criticisms of the US."

WHY BONER NOW posted:Dumb question but what is a tankie? I thought it was a militant leftist but I might be wrong Actual answer: it’s a derogatory term in leftist circles for pro-authoritarian lefties. Historically it originally referred to UK communists who supported the Soviets sending in tanks to crack down on Hungarian elections. Nowadays, it’s people who support regimes like Russia, North Korea, Syria, etc almost solely because they’re aligned against Western interests.

The historical context for the word is the Western Stalinist who came out in support of the Soviet Union's invasion of Hungary and Czechoslovakia in which they quite literally rolled their tanks across another country's border where called tankies in the 1950's-60's. It has become a catch-all for any M/L communist these days but it's funny how applicable the word is still due to Ukraine.

WHY BONER NOW posted:Dumb question but what is a tankie? I thought it was a militant leftist but I might be wrong Big fans of authoritarian anti-American countries. The types of people who would have cheered for the tanks at Tiananmen, Czechoslovakia, etc. basically. "America bad, other country oppose America, therefore other country good." sort of thinking. Militant leftists are prone to it but it's not the same thing as just wanting a revolution here.

Yeah, one thing worth remembering is that 'leftist', at least in US terms, is barely relevant as a label because what passes for the left in the US is basically an extremely loose bundle of people who vary from "I'd rather not be murdered because of my skin color" to "I think healthcare would be nice" to "Capitalism is bad" to "Everyone in the US is a justifiable target to destroy capitalism." There's genuinely very little tying everyone together except a general opposition to "gently caress you, I'm rich" types, and even then you have plenty of people who technically fall into the 'leftist' category who would probably be conservative if the conservatives would drop a bit of the homophobia/sexism/racism/etc. It's a big part of why leftist groups have so much trouble gathering meaningful power because there are a lot of groups who would be inherently opposed even in left groups and some of them really wouldn't qualify as left in the slightest if not for like one or two single-issue situations that the zeitgeist has sort of forced into being 'left.'

Samovar posted:Well! I actually followed up on the source given (The World Revolution 1917–1936 by CLR James), and while it records the quote in this way: 'many of the rank-and-file used it among themselves, no doubt sincerely believing in this as Marxism', it doesn't give any further detail in that regard. More information may be found in 'The Communist International, 1919-1943 Good on you for following up. Learned something today.
