Seems to be a lot of talk here about authoritarianism.
Is demanding responsible speech over free speech absolutism "tankie"? ....because the US is demonstrating exactly what happens when you give free speech to fascists and don't monitor their "religion".
The thing is that they don't govern. The MAGA crowd does nothing. There's no constructive legislation. Everything proposed is to remove some imaginary barrier that keeps society from running well, but they make things worse. Even with good legislation, some people are wronged, and get left behind. Conservatives use the bad stories to justify doing nothing good.
The whole narrative with firing "unelected government bureaucrats" who are ruining our lives is BS from the start. The "unelected government bureaucrats" are simply employees doing the bidding of our elected officials. Trump has every right to pursue an agenda of shutting down institutions and culling the herd of government employees - he won the election. The correct way is through Congressional legislation. The problem is, that he and Musk/Doge DO NOT have the support of the people. The MAGATS know the legislation would never pass with the approval of the people, through their elected representatives - so they go about doing things illegally.
Honestly the fact that the entire country keeps getting mad at Democrats while taking an "Aw shucks, who hasn't tried to do a coup de tat or shifted blame for your actions onto a minority group. All is forgiven!" Attitude with Republicans, is...
Just fucking bizarre.
Why would you expect media outlets mostly owned by the Oligarchs to criticize the people the oligarchs want to put into power?
Look at the division in this thread.
A U.S. President is literally trying to recreate the conditions of 1930s Germany by tanking the economy and isolating us from our international partners.
Stop looking for someone to blame and put out the current dumpster fire before it catches the grease.
Get out and protest. Get your boots on the ground.
Tankies would unironically promote known Russian asset Jill Stein in actual left communities and then turn around and unironically talk about electing Trump in Hexbear and Lemmygrad, because he's friendlier with Xi Jinping.
I hate Tankies.
