  • it’s a bit like the situation in ukraine (and most other places in the global south) in that the united states fostered an uprising in hungary to separate them from their marxist/leninist regimes; russian in the hungarian and ukrainian case.

    the people who pointed this out in support of the soviets sending in tanks to quell the uprising were labels as “tankies” to denigrate them and; in the jfk releases that trump did earlier this year; the cia operatives made references to these efforts in hungary and it’s clear that they forgot to redact them in trump’s haste to make good on his promise to release jfk’s dossier. (they’re retroactively redacted if you try to download them again from the american government, but their original versions are still floating around the internet).

    when i say o.g. tankies, i’m using a slightly aged american pop culture reference where o.g. means “original gangster”; as in, the original tankies.

    i have an unfortunate front row seat to the asshattery that our capitalist system as created for young people trying to get a foothold in my industry and i don’t know what to make of it since they, themselves support the same system that’s fucking them over and sometime virulently defend it; it’s a bit like watching maga cheer on their own demise.
