No one of consequence.
Btw, remind me again why Dems only sued in swing states to keep Claudia De La Cruz off the ballot?
Idk im not a dem. We could have our own party in many places, and it would be helpful if tankie types stop disparaging our attempts to organize and support us where they can instead.
That said in places where we won’t have a party we should strategically vote as left as possible in primaries not just final elections.
So yeah, tankies are part of the problem.
Not you, you couldn’t possibly be taken by a CIA psyop!
Anyone can, we are all people.
Still, tankies are simps for authoritarians. Further they discourage electoralism which is a big form of organizing here in the west. I’ve said it before, elections are not the end all be all, but it is a mistake to neglect them as they do add credibility to our movements and shifts the overton window to our favor. If anything tankies are the best form of the left that J Edgar Hoover would have wanted for us; unwilling to enage and toxic.
Anyway, that is a summary of why I don’t think tankies are worth much time. Unless you have something worth talking about Im not going to engage further.
why does the West take in Nazis and brutally crush AES? Perhaps you could actually dig into what Operation Gladio and Operation Condor did.
Like this, two things can be wrong at the same time. Tankies have a hard time understanding that.
Why should I? Tankies at the end of the day are counter productive to organizing and simp for authoritarians.
doesn’t that mean he is liked over there?
Hard to say, I have seen a few that outright don’t like him. But more of a he isn’t as far to our liking overall.
Where are these tankies that hate Mamdani so much? What do they hate him for?
I have seen a few, here is one I saved from some time back.

A lot of things get removed from .ml so its hard to go back find things sometimes. If you are around lemmy a while you will find quite a few takes from tankies.
Now it’s just “EY.”
Someone should troll him that its a trans thing
Are they helping Russia? Maybe, but for sure that shareholder value.
M$ did build a solid colon for Teams tho
Its been good for my homelab
As far as I know this user is a dog
Idk I’ve seen better in the amateur section
All new things will require some learning and getting used to. If you think that is crazy you should see how to get windows to only search for local files
Feels like accident forgiveness from insurance, right
I have no problem calling flock or facebooks tech stack bad because the intentions behind the tech are immoral.
And did those assemble themselves to be evil? Or did someone make them that way?
To go back go my openCV example it is just tech. It does not become a lpr with a cop back end until flock configures it that way
The engineers who help make immoral things possible should think about that
Yes, exactly my point.
People are the ones who do things with tech; hence they are responsible for the actions. Tech is just an object with no will of its own to do right or wrong.
that it is not interesting to talk about the ethics of some technology in an abstraction in cases where the actual tech is as it is actually implemented is clearly bad.
But that is what you are doing and I am saying that it is people who are responsible for the implementation.
People who have literally made tools to do bad things justified it by claiming that tech is neutral in an abstract sense
Bold a keyword there for you
This issue with asserting that technology is neutral is it lets the people who develop it ignore the impacts of their work.
I don’t see how that is the case. The tech is neutral, but the engineers know what the application they are hired for is. That is determined by people and subject to morality.
Would you say openCV or the people working on it are evil? I wouldn’t. I would say that once someone takes that project for flock is evil.
I think this framing is more important when talking with the general public as they are likely to walk away thinking that its the tech that creates problems and not the for profit corporations who will be free to continue doing the same, so long as they don’t use that tech.
Just worth saying again so ppl research it
