Bubonic Plagiarist posted:It seems unfair to normal communists who like the Soviet Union and don't have brain problems to call her a tankie. That whole red kahina crew aren't bad because of their opinions on the Hungarian revolution, they're bad because they're pizzagate-level paranoid conspiracy theorists. The Venn diagram of people who believe "Stalin did nothing wrong " and "right wing dictators are actually cool and good (as long as they're a thorn in US foreign policy) and revolutionary communists who are actively fighting them are actually bad" is shockingly close to a circle. You're not libeling very many innocent Stalinists (lol) at all by painting Red Kahina with the tankie brush. I guess I could be wrong and just don't go to the right parts of the internet to see them. But the other side of that coin is that "communists who like the Soviet Union" aren't all Stalin apologists, either. Theris fucked around with this message at 04:46 on Feb 16, 2017 |

Is there a corollary to Poe's Law about fundamentalists being incapable of recognizing when they're being satirized? There's an awful lot of Ron Swanson in that timeline, too.

CortezFantastic posted:The election was decided by 100k votes in total so even a fraction is enough to turn over that election. Of course the real hack would've been to run anyone else except Clinton in that position That's what's fun about arguing over blame for the loss: if any one of a whole bunch of different things had been different, Clinton would have won. It's just that all but, like, three of those things were entirely within the Clinton campaign's power to change and the dems are pushing one of the ones that wasn't as the reason she lost rather than reflect on the ones they should have done differently.
