Firstly, etymological fallacy
Edit: this should go to dunk tank
lol when fuckass said they cropped to just the funny parts, they were not lying. absolute all time punchline.
This person is doing it the most explicitly, like I'm stunned at how open they are. Just outright giving the game away as "foreign communists are bad."
The other day I said tankie can also be synonymous for traitor. Now I'm thinking a better synonym is "white traitor."
The principle Skinner meme but it's "Am I so out of touch? No. It's millions of not-white people that are fascist."
Oh, this brings me back to the Falklands/Malvinas struggle session.
Good times.

Tankies are real

Tankies are real, but only in the West
-
Tankies are a Western Fad. Nobody in AES states think this way
-
Tankies aren't real, Leftists made them up to scare you
-
Only a Chinese bot would know what a Tankie is
The only tankies in the whole world are Xi Jingping himself and a scattered bunch of white teenagers from Ohio

I love all these dorks
It's reminding me of my debate classes back in high school and the one time I got in trouble for telling a guy "Shut up nerd face" for spouting Latin phrases at me when I was trying to argue in favor of enhanced safety restrictions on cars
I won all my high school debates by cross training in boxing. Appeal to the stick early, appeal to the stick often.
Ah shit you've been logical fallacied. Time to pack it up.
No, you're only a tankie when you're against violence. Being against violence let's other people be violent and you have to murder all of them and genocide their country too. Can't let the citizens live, they keep going on about their day while (insert bad person) continues to do what he does! That's tantamount to TREASON to this democracy which is in peril! Every person in bad country should pick up the nearest blunt object and march on (bad leader). No, I will not go join the foreign legions or help the fight I care about in any meaningful way, tankie. Asking me to put my money where my mouth is is just russian propaganda and whataboutism.
I think we're still federated. lemm.ee/instances shows hexbear, hexbear.net/instances shows lemm.ee
Ah, the racist definition of "tankie". It seems like racists have managed to get their hands on a dictionary.
Our friend here proclaimed they are the single source of truth on the currently-accepted definition of "tankie". Well, why don't they source us etymological discussions on the term "tankie" in contemporary English studies and journals? Oh, wait shit they couldn't find any.
Also, they committed some kind of etymological fallacy anyway by calling socialists fascists. The cognitive dissonance is real.
They still bent words according to their own meanings anyway. I find it funny these libs are actually putting in some serious semantic deliberation on "tankie". It used to just be a quick way to go LALALA!! go away I can't hear u!! TANKIES!!

No, they were just equivocating, no etymology involved
Damn I wonder why these libs think non-white countries keep doing socialism wrong
And why do they have a slur for other westerns who think non-white people aren't doing socialism wrong
These libs should trying talking to people from around the world. It could be so much better than it is, but Omegle works for this.
The hatred from people in the global south for their previous colonial occupiers is near universal, especially for the Fr*nch in North/West Africa. A worryingly large minority I've run into online & abroad are less skeptical of the US than I'd have hoped, as they're eager to ditch the Europeans and their interference and bullshit. Outside of the Americas, basically everywhere but India, people are pretty hopeful about Chinese investments. Even about things like "port takeovers", people on the ground seem aware that it's preferable to have PRC filling certain infrastructure roles rather than local collaborators giving US businesses covert control.
I wish there was something like Omegle that wasn't full of A) children and B) creeps preying on children. It would be neat to randomly find someone normal in the world to chat with for a while.
It's honestly really fun seeing all the wild takes that can be assembled from different combinations of bits of truth
excuse me, but you just committed a logical fallacy, therefore your ideology is not worth me acknowledgingI'd like some opinions from hexbear on how they would engage this type of user. If they would at all? Is it worth it, not to correct the chud, but to possibly convert a drive by user of a given platform?
The real answer is probably
They're dumbass coppertops, so engage them for your own enjoyment and fulfillment if you do. They're not going to tell you anything interesting or change their minds. Have fun with it.
Excuse me, but your rebuttal is an ad logicam. Please re-write it; I'll wait.
Serious question my fellow hexbears, what is your favorite fallacy? Mine is poisoning the well, a type of ad hominem. An example would be something like, "well, of course you would quote that prolific fascist and genocide apologist..."
Nothing any of these people say will ever matter. There's no substance to anything they say and they're not attempting to communicate, just bolster their ego.
Marxism is pretty much precog
we have this
