Yeah, it's a euphemism because there's a lot of Westerners that have a completely skewed view of the war in Ukraine and have to be let down very, very gently. Ukraine is going to have "to give things up to Russia" because that's what happens when you start a war and then lose it. You'd think they'd teach you that at a fucking Ivy League school.
Oh, dear. Tumblr was full of baby tankies when russia first invaded Ukraine in 2014.
Those tankies grew up and grew out of their stupidity, but eleven years later, here's the next generation of edgy Western "communists" to celebrate genocide in Ukraine.
You're a dipshit and should kill yourself you nazi dicksucker.
Thank you.
No, I need to say more about this person.
They have an account that supports BLM, COVID measures, gay rights.
However, mention Ukraine, and then Ukrainians have to kill themselves because they're dicksuckers.
The Western far-left is no better than MAGA.
I know I shouldn't expect much from the world because it's not interesting to talk about anymore

But I still can't wrap my head around russians being able to launch almost 500 fucking shaheds, 46 cruise missiles, 11 ballistics in ONE NIGHT and NO ONE WILL GIVE A FUCK. Put these numbers into your head and think about them for a hard minute. UKRAINE IS THE BIGGEST COUNTRY IN EUROPE. The air raid is ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. Cities are FAR AWAY FROM EACH OTHER. The only reason they attack Ukraine only is because they are deliberate and maintain an illusion of-- I don't know what. Humanity? What's humane in attacking a whole country daily and restricting your attacks to the borders. "Ok cool bro as long as you're not going over the line you are cool"
You may think my emotions are irrational or whatever but I'm just not okay with the fact that it's allowed and that it's NORMAL. ARE YOU OKAY WITH THIS HAPPENING? I'M NOT. everyone and everything I knew can just die and be destroyed and I had to accept it because russians don't give a flying fuck, they call it "liberation" and then flatten everything. And I fucking hate it.
It's not revolutionary news, it's just what they do on the DAILY (I mean, usually dozens to a hundred is not surprising AND I HATE IT). they just attack Ukraine DAILY to murder CIVILIANS THAT'S THE ONLY REASON THEY DO IT.
I repeat IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. NIGHT AND EARLY MORNING. Some people are going to sleep through it, some will not make it in time for the shelter, people, if they will be sleeping, will do so in their bathtub, or on the train station, in the parking lots.
If you are still not treating russia as a real threat or if you think Ukraine doesn't deserve coverage anymore - rethink your fucking values. Because if we all collectively do not talk about it, do not give Ukrainians the weapons they need and the resources to survive then we allow for this to happen.
Yes I'm fucking angry because it's my home that shaped not only 17 years of my life but all of my identity too. I feel like I can't take it anymore. I mean take a picture of your city. Then imagine a missile strikes a building, the building crumbles with the people in it. That's all it takes. If we don't help Ukraine substantially and if we tolerate russia and give it a voice it will just prepare for the future attacks and invasions. Life is unfair and I really want to believe in justice, but what's the point in justice if it's long overdue and the decision takes years to make? I just understand that every night that passes just takes more lives away.
Ukrainians love their country and choose to live despite everything, that's why russians think they should die. That's why they keep doing it. And no so-called russian opposition will solve it.
So please, if you are able to support Ukrainian donations PLEASE DO IT. Or at least say something. Tell your friends that war is not over and is far from over because russia is not stopped. And I'm fucking sick of it
Anonymous asked:
What does tankies mean?
magnetothemagnificent answered:
“Tankies” is a term used to describe people whose ideologies align with authoritarian communists. They often valorize past or current authoritarian communist regimes, especially the USSR and CCP. The term “tankie” arose from the fact that the regimes that they valorize employ/ed tanks and other violent tools to suppress dissenters and force compliance. Tankies either don’t care about that aspect of those regimes, pretend it’s not real, or they actively support it.
The term was specifically coined in the UK in the 1950s to criticize communist organizations there for supporting the Soviet Union's violent crushing of the Hungarian Revolution with tanks.
Yeah, a communist is someone who wants workers to seize the means of production. A tankie is an authoritarian with a vaguely red coat of paint that glorifies and idolizes horrific despots who fly the banner of communism such as Stalin and Mao and Kim Jong-Un and his predecessors and Che Guevara, etc etc, either denying or justifying every atrocity those leaders have ever committed. As well as glorifying the successor regimes to these leaders so long as they carry a vaguely "Anti-Western" sentiment, without any or with very few communist economic principles being applied in their governments, such as Putin and Xi and their respective governments. As well as glorifying despotic "ant-Western" allies to these regimes, again independent of whether said allies rule with any Communist economic principles, such as Islamic Republic of Iran, the now-fallen Assad regime in Syria, Hamas and Hezbollah and the Houthis, which are extreme right wing governments led by wealthy oligarchy. Some even support the Taliban and Al-Quaeda and Osama Bin-Laden, because they are anti-Western/anti-USA which is the most important thing to tankies.
Tankies view Nazis the way modern Russia does - an enemy of Stalin and Stalinism, not an antisemitic genocidal white supremacist philosophy, and so they will see America and The Joos and Ukraine as The Real Nazis, without any sense of self-awareness.
discourse from the year 2043: getting a song stuck in your head is immoral because it takes money away from the artists that would get paid if you were actually listening to it
BTW when you encounter a character and think "What's this guy's fucking problem?" that's your body trying to give you an out before you fall into obsession.
the beauty of the world is that there are people out there having basically indistiguishable gender and sexuality experiences and one has several microlabels and an army of pride flags, one says "idk i guess im nonbinary or something" and the other is comfortably cis with a little flexibility. and all of them are correct because your identity is whatever you make of it.
If you live in the European Union, know that in October there will be a vote to pass Chat Control a law that will read anyone's private messages in the European Union.
So if you are in the European Union please contact your MEPS (members of the European Parliament via this):
If you aren't in the European Union please do share!

So if this passes, all messages, videos and images sent by someone in the EU would be scanned. I don't know what would happen if someone outside of the EU sends a message to someone in the EU.
However, if you are friends and family in the EU, all messages they send to you will be scanned. So yes, you could be affected by this even if you don't live here.
Note that you can send mails to MEPs (members of the European Parliament) if you aren't from the EU. The website up there has the email addresses of all of them and email templates in multiple languages.
