      Basing your entire viewpoint as an opposition to a group will always make you look dumb. Your thoughts should be based on the most correct data you have available.

        most likely a troll.

        i’ve never heard of a tankie denying climate change since they think it puts China in a good light (despite producing the most emissions out of any country)

      Jesus Christ, you’re not kidding. It’s fascinating but I feel like looking at it may have damaged me in some way.

      Stuff like this is going to happen. The more they keep inciting transphobic hatred, the more likely that a masculine woman is going to be assaulted. It’s not funny because the woman might not even be a TERF and could be completely innocent.

      Abortion and euthanasia are going to lead to autistic people being murdered. Neo progressives already believe that disabled children should be aborted and atheists admit that “life begins some time after birth” meaning they openly support euthanasia up to age five in some cases. A lot of neo progressives think the most humane option for disabled children is abortion or euthanasia at a young age.

      My sister supported abortion before she transitioned and she says that she was a creepy white knight when she supported it.

      I support raising the minimum wage, but there should be an exemption for people living with middle class parents.

      I think they are just trying to pursue viewpoint-inception in a way that deliberately will make everyone in the conversation mad at them, so they can get a high score. I cannot imagine any other explanation.

        Holy smokes! That account has to be a bot. Awful incoherent ramblings and correct grammar just don’t mix.

        Pfft. I support abortion up until 99 years of age. At 100 you get a gold star and the doctor says it’s not advisable because it’ll naturally happen “any moment now”.

    Is anyone still actually confused about the very obvious link between tankies and right wing trolls?

      I think it’s even simpler than that. They’re millionaires. Why would they give a shit if their house is under water in 20 years. They’ll just get another one and stay in their other houses while they find another beach front house, and get some money back from the house insurance they can afford.

      Impossible. If they were stupid, how could they possibly have gotten so rich? Its not as though you can just steal billions of dollars through systemic coercion, corruption, and graft.

      You don’t have to think ahead when you can just pay other people for everything without ever impacting your standard of living.

      What’s idiotic?

      If they only care about short term fulfillment/success, they are “winning”.

      Obviously long term it’s idiotic but they clearly don’t care

    The elites are building spaceships, cities, and don’t care about the house after they are dead nor its insurability.

        They even have a whole community, [email protected]

        …or rather there’s a handful of people posting stories there just to be downvoted by random lemm.ee users browsing the local feed, often followed up by getting dissected in the comments.

          That’s a great place to go if you want to argue about Southern Strategy. You can experience well-considered positions such as, “name the exact day or it is fake,” “nuh uh,” and “no, you.”
