Comment on Framework supporting far-right racists?
doben@lemmy.wtf 1 day agoThe main difference is that fascism and racism are fundamentally destructive ideologies/traits, while tankie is just a derogatory term for folks on the far left used by people that think extreme left and extreme right are the same kind if evil. It’s a display of arrogant ignorance, congratulations.

Many would argue tankies live by an ideology with a comparable body count to fascism.

That’s all very vague. Be more explicit. Many argue many things.
What is the ideology you’re hinting at? Communism? What is the body count of communism? Where do you think you’ve got that that narrative from?
To round out the picture, and because body count seems so decisive, we should include capitalism, right — as facism, many argue, is a neccessary consequence of imperial capitalism protecting itself in crisis and it’s our current economic ideology and therefore an ongoing, systematic phenomenon? What’s the body count of capitalism?
Many would argue we currently live by an ideology with a body count of double digit millions of excess deaths annually, through poverty & hunger, healthcare inequality, workplacce deaths & diseases, environmental & climate deaths, structural violence, and of course war & imperial violence.

Why would I account for capitalism when my whole point is i don’t care what people’s opinions are?
Im talking about Tankie ideology so communism yes. But again, my point is I don’t care so to try to pit communism vs capitalism to gotcha me doesn’t even make sense.
Communism has a massive body count yes.
This form of verbal maneuvering that you display is falling from grace.

Oh, suddenly you don’t care? The only thing, that doesn’t make sense then, is you commenting at all. Curiously you do, tho — with vibes-based political commentary. If you’re really so apathetic, may I suggest to you to stfu.
What I got from your form of verbal maneuvering (lol) is, tho, is that you are not only apathetic, but also ignorant.
