I got called a tankie because I said you shouldn't just invade other countries over on Reddit.
Like tankie never really meant anything before but now it's the opposite. Being against tanks makes you a tankie at this point.
No.
Paw patrol is just unironically copaganda.

Obviously it wasn't like intentionally written to be as it's just a stupid kids show that exists to sell toy but a lot of the themes in the show do frame policing in a very pro-police way.
I've seen a lot of liberals saying things along the lines of "but if we don't follow the rules based order it will set a bad precedent! What's stopping China now deciding to invade Taiwan on the justification that they don't like their government?"
Edit: oh fuck I didn't scroll down into the comments there's already one here
It's weird because normally having a monopoly is really bad but all the competition pales in comparison to Steam and they actually provide a good platform. Maybe after Gaben dies Steam will go to shit but for now they're not just the best but also doing way more than just being a place to buy games.
Crazy how quick libs are to excuse genocide.
"Yeah my party does genocide but they're the lesser evil"
"Yeah Taiwan is looking up to a genocidal state but that's okay because it's to stop China"
No they don't. They offer compensation and if the owner still refuses they build around them. That's what leads to all those wacky photos of highways going around a single house.
Yes. Voting is useful for showing solidarity with the movement and demonstrating how the current system doesn't work. Just because it isn't capable of causing any meaningful change doesn't mean it's useless.
Wanting the 99% in charge as opposed to the current 1% is the opposite of yearning for a dictatorship. That's yearning for its destruction.
It's not a red herring. Religious people don't treat god like some social concept that doesn't physically exist but still plays a role in how we interact in our society. They claim their god literally exists.
Under the current system "productivity" means making lots of money for your boss. If you work a job that's valuable to society like being a teacher you still don't get paid as much. Or if you're an artist or you aren't capable of working 40 hours a week you're seen as a less productive member of society.
Being a valued member of society shouldn't be based on working two full time jobs because if you can afford to pay all your bills and buy a nice car and house then that's proof of your success.
