    tankie = woke that is all you need to know someone who open their mind so much the brain falls out. All they know how to do is to repeat CNN, Washington Post, and echo-chamber.

      Your total misunderstanding perfectly proves the point of the previous post about “tankie” being a term picked up by the far-right and taken way beyond its meaning.

      Tankies are authoritarian far left types, such as for example Stalinists (so, not just any general Communist, but the kind of Communist that has a hard-on for “strong leaders” who murder by the millions those who such leaders themselves deem as “enemies of the Party”). They’re the Nazis of the Left (which is probably why they’re right alongside actual Nazis and assorted fascists in siding with Putin against Ukraine).

      Meanwhile woke people are just moral liberals, often not even being leftwing in the true sense of the word because they don’t actually care about inequality in general or about a better life for the many, but instead are selective about the “injustices” they care about, invariably leaving out wealth-inequality (the biggest source of discriminatory treatment by a very large margin) and often claiming their own “identitarian” group is a “victim” of “injustice” and demanding compensation, which is really just doing what’s best for themselves personally but hidding behind the group, in other words being greedy whilst using leftie-like political structures and language.

      In the Left-Right political axis, “woke” covers a wide range from “mildly leftwing” to “business loving hard-core neoliberal” (neoliberalism is just “money liberalism” so it dovetails nicelly with moral liberalism), because “woke” it’s not at all about the greatest good for the greatest number but rather it’s about freedom in the moral sphere.

          You clearly have no clue whatsoever what you’re talking about, and I don’t mean it as an insult: it’s a plain statement of fact.

          The idea that people obcessed with things like LGBT rights want a Revolution Of The Proletariat in which they confiscate the Means Of Production from the hands of the Burgeouisie and set up a Dictatorship Of The Proletariate as a way to bring about a system were everybody has the same (i.e. Communism) is hilarious and displays trully amazing, world-beating ignorance on the subject.

            ok tankie string together some more buzzwords for me then you can keep your 15 minute cities and mandatory jabs to yourself as you have no idea what your talking about.

            you talk to the worker in a country to see if they care more about who is peeing with them or where the money for their pension goes to pay forever wars to enrich to BURGEROISE and they call you a woke tankie

      tankie = woke that is all you need to know

      That sounds super lazy and useless. Like a good example of what I was saying.
