Calling Communists “tankies” makes me doubt this.

Where did I do this? Why do you just “doubt” based on something that never happened?

Can you provide specific examples?

You yourself. You said Stalin was no dictator. You lumped conservatives with liberals together.

What is a “tankie” to you?

Authoritarians calling themselves communists or socialists. Online, in discussions, this usually is expressed by relativizing oppressive regimes that call themselves communist or socialist, like China or USSR. Like you do.

All Marxist-Leninists?

Why do you think I generalize? Projection? In this very thread I made very clear I don’t generalize.

I’m fine with communists. My economical political views could be considered communist, too. But tankies defending russian wars of aggression, relativizing Stalin and labeling every political view they don’t like as liberals is just annoying.
And while not every user on hexbear or lemmy.ee is a tankie, most tankies you see are on these instances.

Users of these instances have a reputation for being annoying tankies.

I love all of them. And Stargate.

I know, but that doesn’t matter, because my point still stands. U.S. americans often act like the U.S was the whole world an it’s annoying.

I love it when U.S. americans word stuff like the U.S. was the whole world…

George Lucas ripped off Dune, and that pretty blatantly. No need to search for more hidden ripoffs.

That’s completely beside the point. You said, renewables were only cheaper because they’re subsidized. I proved you wrong and showed that nuclear is subsidized. That has nothing to do with companies being for-profit.

You argued against an argument I didn’t make. That’s the definition of a strawman.

Your one and only fact-related statement was literally

but nuclear energy isn’t as dangerous as some make it out to be.

But sure, you weren’t talking about dangers lol.

You’re right, you shouldn’t have stepped in. At least,you shouldn’t have stepped in and build a strawman. The discussion you entered is about costs, not dangers.

Nuclear is more expensive than the others only if the others get subsidies but Nuclear doesn’t.

That is straight up wrong, the opposite is true. England’s Hinkley Point C for example has a Contract for Difference, the british government pays a guaranteed price per kWh so their citizens pay less.

LCOE of solar is lower than nuclear for eleven years now. Wind has had lower LCOE than nuclear for 14 years now. See figure 52.

Building a new nuclear power plant takes 9-12 years on average. Hinkley Point C in southeast England was announced in 2008 (16 years ago) and is projected to be finished in 2028, with costs now being estimated around $40 billion. These long realisation times are not a european issue alone, as Korea’s Shin-Hanul-1-2 faces similar problems.

Safely storing nuclear waste is expensive, too.

Yeah, sometimes the pro nuclear bubble feels a bit like crypto bros lol

Nuclear power is still the most expensive way to produce electricity by a large margin.

Racist AND misogynistic at the same time, that’s a bingo.

Ever heard about CLOUD act?

I don’t discriminate. I say the data protection of all of these services is terrible and you shouldn’t use them.

No, step dad, pls help!
