The western values Ukraine is defending are becoming more apparent by the day.

        I saw a person lower in the thread talking about Stalin’s USSR being a democracy, while another said that Russia and China can’t be imperialist. Doesn’t seem like a case of overuse to me.

            “Everyone is getting called a Nazi these days, the word has lost all meaning”.

            Sure…

                Tankies don’t exist, don’t you know? There’s no second half between which an enlightened centrist can position themselves. I am the furthest left there is, and you are a liberal.

                  The only thing that exists is children running around calling people tankies when they’re unable to engage in actual discussion. The fact that you call me a liberal highlights just how utterly lost you are. Define what you think a liberal is child.

          Do you think the representational democracy throughout the west is real democracy or just a case of “vote for us every 4 years you pleb then STFU while we collect this lovely lobbyist money, filling our pockets and fail to deliver any campaign promises we ran on”

          And you think tankies are fucking idiots?!

            Was USSR a democracy under Stalin? Are Russia and China imperialist?

      Worse, it’s sometimes tankies, which means ditching it outright doesn’t feel justified enough
