France invaded Libya because they dared to kick out French Companies. They have threatened to invade Burkino Faso for doing the same. EU countries currently have more than two dozen colonial states under their thumb. The EU, and its constituent countries, are the reason Imperialism is around in the modern world. They cannot exist without the rape of the global south. If they were to give up their colonies, the EU would die overnight as the entire EU is in an incredibly large import deficit.

It's a running joke in American politics for Democrats to shit the bed in a dozen winnable states, then spend the next four years insisting "The tiny fringe third party candidate stabbed us in the back!" This, while cozying up to the most toxic reactionaries the US has to offer.

You can do a national tour with Liz Cheney and Jeff Flake for the last three months of your campaign. You can spend half a billion dollars on that weird Las Vegas globe thing, running annoying ads that only other DC consultants pay attention to. You can mirror Republican policy on issues Americans absolutely hate. And you can bend over backwards for the most horrid stew of reactionary oligarchs.

But it's still always those damned foreigners, those stupid independent voters, and the insidious Internet Leftists who are to blame when you lose.

This is how all "free speech" absolutists behave.

Their idea of compromise is when the other side does what they say.

Respect is not a virtue for extremists / zeolotes.

That‘s hilarious. The admins‘ version of respect is to delete the comment they disagree with and leave a smug reply.

It's called hypocrisy

probably drank the same koolaid as magats would. they even use the same PC buzzwords.

Tankies are tribal loyalists whose chosen ingroup is leftists and alleged leftists. They do not understand the latter distinction. Like all conservatives, their stated ideals are ad-hoc justifications. Claims cannot contradict, in this worldview, because claims are not evaluated; they are only a card-shuffling word game to establish superiority.

They think that's all you're doing. They think that's all there is.

Someone who isn't me had to abandon their first account because of Hex bear and dot ml. They will troll the shit out of you Across Lemmy Outside of their instances.

I've blocked lemmy.world for me (it's been a saving a huge amount my screen space from that degen meme world)

That’s their only takes.
