Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.

Rules:

  1. No bigotry of any kind.
  2. No tankies or right-wingers. Liberals are allowed so long as they are aware of this
  3. No genocide denial

We allow posts about tankie behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion.

Curious about non-tankie leftism? If you've got a little patience for 19th century academic style, let a little Marx and Kropotkin be your primer!

Marx's Communist Manifesto, short and accessible! Highly recommended if you haven't read it

Kropotkin's Conquest Of Bread

Selected works of Marx

Your meme kind of works for hamas/Isreal too.

Yes hamas is bad

But it doesn't mean Isreal should murder civilians

Or the other way around

Yes Isreal is bad

But it doesn't mean hamas should be murdering civilians

oops sorry mistook you for one of those "Israel bad Hamas good"-guys

[–] UnrepententProcrastinator@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Never heard of people saying Hamas good.

oh you must be new to lemmy then or maybe have a healthier online life

Option 2 most likely. But lemmy is already a healthier social media choice.

I am more pissed at people who don't know difference between Hamas and Palestine. "Hamas is bad, lets fight palestine. And Syria too. Go for Uzbekistan while at it. I heard Albania is a muslim country too. Indonesia..."

Issue is Hamas are the government of Gaza, and it's pretty hard to get past that.

Plus the same people can't tell the difference between Israel and Jews in general so maybe it's just a lack of comprehension and reasoning.
