Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Who do you think will stop them then? Are you counting on Americans to "rise up" like the average German moderate in the 1930's did?
Oh I have no idea, I was just enjoying tankiness of the statement
I don't get it though, I don't even read Marx. The fact that it was Russia and China who stopped fascists last time, and might have to do it again because the West is doing the opposite of stopping fascism, how is that Marxist? It's literally what happened.
You have no idea how "Now the collective West is the new Nazi party, and like it or not it’s up to Russia and China to stop them again." sounds tankie as fuck?
No, I don't talk to tankies I don't think. I genuinely don't understand why you'd have this reaction to a description of what's happening.
Just looked up what a "tanky" was, got mixed results, looks like classic red scare communism-phobia to me, lots of people butthurt that Russia beat the Nazis and freed the concentration camps with violence as if that was a mistake. Did it happen some other way then? And all that stuff about Russia and Stalingrad and Berlin is just tankie propaganda? Please.
It sounds like something tankies say because that's what tankies say. It's not much deeper than that lol
Ok so it's something tankies say, why is that a problem? If they said the sky was blue would you say everyone who thinks the sky is blue is a tankie?
EDIT - Just to add, you know who else reacted negatively to communists? You know why the Nazis targetted jews? Or is the irony of using "tankie" as a pejorative and being a fascist lost on you?
I didn't say it was a problem though?
Why point it out? In admiration?
I was surprised it didn't come from hexbear or .ml
