I have seen post after post on Meanwhile on Grad about Dessalines abusing his power, you probably aren’t aware of it because by the time you see it all you end up seeing are users like Cowbee monologuing to the void.

Or were just engaging in the thread not paying attention, I’m sure there’s a reasonable explanation.

No, tankie is a reference to Soviets using tanks to quell uprisings in Hungary (1956) and Czechoslovakia (1968).

Tankies are not leftists, they’re authoritarian simps that hate the United States and love China/Russia. If you think Russia is leftist you’re insane, doubly so for China.

Edit: I also find it funny that the person I’m responding to has had this explanation given to them already.

Edit 2: Ok that may have been an honest mistake, I’m sorry I’m just like a raw nerve when it comes to this topic.

The answer is that the average conservative really is that fucking stupid.

They don’t think, they follow party lines. Thinking takes away from drinking, and it’s easier to just stumble down whatever path their overlords dictate.

Fuck Israel, and fuck tankies.

My main question is: what makes you think they aren’t already doing that?

Because you’re a tankie

I’m at a point of no tolerance for tankies, and I have a strong sense of needing to set the record straight.

Fuck tankies.

So you’re saying I should thank them while they shovel differently colored lies down my throat?

Alright dude, whatever you say — I’m gonna keep flinging shit at them.

Seriously?

Are you seriously comparing low income housing to white trash bigots?

No, we aren’t doing whataboutism here — nor are we entertaining your reductive reasoning. They simply described that, as a child, they were aware something was deeply wrong. Clearly many people here empathize with that. Not sure why that’s a complicated topic for you, it’s almost like they struck a nerve.

Acetone is king, just be sure to really flush the bong before use.

So they struck a nerve.

I don’t know if you’ve ever been around white trash conservatives but yes — if you have any kind of decency you will be appalled at how they live their lives. This isn’t a statement made by a sad person, this is just a fact.

Whataboutism

Good, I hope you take being called a tankie as a slur.

I’m definitely interested in your mothers stories, for what it’s worth. (This isn’t a ‘your mom’ joke)

imaginary tankies

They aren’t imaginary, I’m not sure what world you live in but there are definitely a ton on Lemmy.

It does, it also causes more damage to your lungs in a couple of ways.

One, the cool smoke reaches deeper into your lungs. Two, smoke being cooled down too much does increase how resin builds up.

So not only will you be sending tar deeper into your lungs, you’ll also be increasing the amount of tar that actually gets deposited in them.

Plus there is the possibility of thermal shock obliterating your bong, but I’ve been a stoner for at least a decade and have literally never seen it.

Yes, it is. If he hadn’t already established a pattern of behavior beforehand then maybe you could just see this as boys being boys.

However with the established pattern? There’s simply no way to paint this as anything other than him doing what he’s done since being appointed: fuck around on the taxpayers dime.
