WELL ARE WE?!
"are the communists conservative?"
- guy who has never even heard of books
They’re tankies, which has its basis in appreciating the USSR and modern day China and some other governments that call themselves “Communist” while having very few if any leftist and communist qualities.
To answer your question, NO, they are not. Stupid and completely lacking in historical, economic, or political nuance? Yes, but that’s a separate problem and not “conservative” in the slightest.
Nuance means that The Adults In The Room that Make The Hard Decisions and Get Shit Done are nuanced when they enjoy atrocities because that's where the treats come from, but enemy teams are evil and subhuman because they interfere with treat distribution.
M'nuance is when saying that all the Nazis should get shot is bad and ebil because muh clean wehrmacht but all Soviets getting nuked is an acceptable political position because the slavic race is historically violent and evil (totally unlike western europeans though slavery was a necessary evil so it wasnt evil).
very few if any leftist and communist qualities.

Cannot stand when v*ushites make a claim on being the only 'real' communists.
ButtTubers: It's only real communism if it never does anything of value for anyone.

I'd love to actually see some of the "nuance" these people are supposedly operating with, but it only ever seems to be whiny insistence that their perspective is obviously better.

politic extremism is a horseshoe
South Park brain detected! We have brainworm quarantine breach!
Im actually a Paelo-conservative and own a jet ski dealership. My wife left me and my son doesnt speak with me anymore.
I just thought of those 'most wanted' decks of cards they'd give US soldiers in Iraq.
Basically, yeah! 😎

I read somewhere that the CTH transplants were predominantly millennial veterans/ex mil and I was like "hey, that's me! Lemme go make an account on hexbear so I can see what some of my peers are saying" and the first thing I saw was cartoon shit on pig nuts, so I stuck around.
This one, I'm guessing. It shows up suuuuper big on other instances.
That is a reactionary take, next thing you know you're gonna be saying that the white marble ppb is the only one worth our time. /joke
I think I've realized just now that the accusations that we're just pretending to be socialist is the same as how libs accuse socialist countries of just pretending
We're the AES of forums folks
“During the federation, the antihexbear ideological framework could transform any data about existing hexbearian communities into hostile evidence. If the Bears refused to negotiate a point, they were intransigent and belligerent; if they appeared willing to make concessions, this was but a skillful ploy to put us off our guard. By opposing posting limitations, they would have demonstrated their aggressive intent; but when in fact they supported most posting treaties, it was because they were mendacious and manipulative. If the trans communities in Hexbear were empty, this demonstrated that transgender identity was suppressed; but if the trans communities were full, this meant the people were rejecting the admin regime's transgender ideology. If the posters went on strike (as happened on infrequent occasions), this was evidence of their alienation from the collectivist website; if they didn't go on strike, this was because they were intimidated and lacked freedom. A scarcity of lib posts to dunk on demonstrated the failure of the poster economy; an improvement in lib posts supplies meant only that the leaders were attempting to placate a restive population and so maintain a firmer hold over them. If Hexbar in the Fediverse played an important role struggling for the rights of posters, the poor, African-Americans, women, and others, this was only their guileful way of gathering support among disfranchised groups and gaining power for themselves. How one gained power by fighting for the rights of powerless groups was never explained. What we are dealing with is a nonfalsifiable orthodoxy, so assiduously marketed by the ruling interests that it affected people across the entire posting spectrum.”
I'd love to know what it is about society they think we're looking to conserve
damn libs can't understand we aren't going to beg them for scraps of our deserved human rights.yeah i'm a conservative, i think we shouldn't literally kill all white people.
To quote the finest mind of HexBurr: "I'm as conservative as they come, but I support the Proletariat Revolution"
I don't remember who said this!!!!
The entirety of libs nuance on the Ukraine war:
"Russia is bad because Putler is an evil barbarian that wants to eat Ukrainian babies alive and you nothing but evil for supporting it, nothing will ever convince me otherwise because Russia is literally an evil oligarchy."
vs
"Oh the Ukrainian Nazis? That's not a swastika bro that's just a norse run... Ok but you see that's complicated because well Ukraine is a democracy now and and ah yes the Nazis are only a small part now trust me.
Oh Ukraine used to be called the most corrupt European country? Well that's not fair who trust those polls anyway, its just a shame honestly but they're improving now and...
Oh they were literaly bombing Donbas for years? Well thats just fake news honestly, shame on you stupid putler bot.
Anyway its honestly more important to defend democracy! Look an LGBTQ flag in Kiev! See they're already more progressive than Russia!"
If you are a """""leftist"""""" that is your nuance you can go fuck yourself, literaly
as you cry about conservative tankies.Nobody denies Russia has problems but nobody should be argueing with nazi hugging dipshit libs over it either.
My new take on anything regarding even a modicum of nuance is that libs only have a memory that goes back about 4 years.
I'm reading through Inventing Reality and Killing Hope and both of these solidify this theory but especially Inventing Reality. It's so depressing reading something that was written 30 years ago about how media forces our perspective of reality and like nothing has fucking changed.
Not thinking the entire Chinese government need to be executed and the entire country "democratized"
That's the best word they could come up with for not being a sinophobe? Fuck me
When I was in 3rd grade or so, we had a project where we were supposed to pick 5 adjectives to describe ourselves and a line or two to explain it. At the time I was super into protect the animals/planet. So unfortunately, aiming for 'conservationist', I hit 'conservative' and the reasoning blurb was something like 'it is important to make sure the planet stays habitable'. I still cringe thinking about how anyone who saw it (they were hung up in the hallway) must have thought I was some Hitler youth freak or something.
To my knowledge, this was the last time I was mistaken for being 'conservative', and I intend to keep it that way.
Reminds me of a radlib classmate in highschool who once described themself as 'reactionary' (as in 'I react to bad things and want to change them') and the teacher had to explain that reactionary means conservative.
lol I did something very similar in school when I wanted to say how much I loved astronomy, but wrote astrology instead, not understanding the difference. My teacher thought I was really into tarot cards when I wanted to be an astronaut
thats right
tankies
