Do you denounce the Biden administration’s restrictions on trans healthcare?
If you do, I’ll have another thing to demand you to denounce right after. I’ll throw your tactics right back in your face.
This exchange has been the same thing I’ve repeatedly seen or personally experienced with tankies.
They end up thinking that their “gotcha” will be expressing fucked up Western policies or actions. They do this because, as I originally stated, they hate the thing they know (Western capitalism) and therefore embrace “the other thing” to feel like they’re on the “right” side. They assume that everyone else is doing the same, and that by being critical of Communist governments, we must love Western governments.
And as I also said up front, THEY’RE BOTH SHIT, and if you can’t see that, you’re very simple. The enemy of your enemy is not your friend. You’re not on the good guys’ side just because they’re opposed to the bad guys. It’s the Crips vs the Bloods, not Batman vs the Joker.
I hope you wake up to this very basic truth someday, but I’ve continued this conversation more for other people, to show them the holes in your line of thinking.
Are you still pretending like you were acting in good faith? Lmao. First you jumped down my throat with baseless accusations, then you demanded that I criticize Russia, then when I did, you sensed blood in the water and came after me even harder.
You know for a fact at this point that your accusations were false, you don’t care. Because it was never about saying things that you actually believe, it was about going on the offensive and saying anything to make me look bad.
I don’t care about making you look bad. I’m throwing light onto some fucked up beliefs that get dressed up with “fuck America!” to make them more attractive to simple minds. The fact that you embrace these beliefs is irrelevant to me. This is for the reader, not you.
It does bring context to your righteous indignation that you’ve so closely tied the discrediting of your beliefs to a personal attack.
