  • There are only a few 2s, most are 1s. Like 1 “2” for every 100000 “1”.

    [citation needed], But that doesn’t even matter.
    The meme would be confused to the “1” idiots, yes. And that’s a good thing. Confusion is a brain activity, it’s an uncomfortable state of mind, and it demands answers. It might provoke some thoughts or urge to research something to resolve. It might not. In which case it’s a meme on the internet with the power and purpose of every other meme on the internet.
    And if the person is too stupid to have the productive confusion, well, maybe not everything on the internet should be targeted exclusively to the lowest information bacteria.


  • No, it’s demonstrably not true. Or do you think nobody ever does protest around the world and we can’t study this shit?
    Hell, there was the exact same situation in Ukraine in 2014, it’s one of the best documented revolutions of the current era. Putin’s cronies tried to do provocaterur shit, and shot back, and there was so much backlash to it from everywhere, this ultimately brought them defeat.
    I once again want you to recognise the difference between “police mows down a crowd of unarmed protesters” and “police crushed armed insurrection in an intense shootout”, but this time I want you to do it for real, not just knee-jerking canned response.

    Tankie always meant a fan of authoritarianism but not of the nazi variety. And hand to hand with that goes hate for America, but hate for America isn’t enough on it’s own, it should be paired with love of Strong Hand Of The East.
    Tankie thinks China, Russia, North Korea are just swell, and not because of some underlying ideology, but because they have an authoritarian model of governance and generally in opposition to the west to some degree.
    And that’s the reason why it’s so hard to define for some people, boiled down to it’s definition, it’s very hard to spin into something universally good, so talking to a general public they have to do what authoritarian lovers from the other side of the spectrum call “hiding the power lever”, which muddies the water.
