YES
Everybody to the left of biden is considered a tankie nowdays, and I’m proud of being to the left of (and opposed to) genocide enablers.
“Have these gentlemen ever seen a revolution? A revolution is certainly the most authoritarian thing there is; it is the act whereby one part of the population imposes its will upon the other part by means of rifles, bayonets and cannon”

This would be true if we lived in a world where salary increases matched inflation. I make ~5% more on paper than I made a couple years ago, yet we had terrible inflation in the eurozone, my salary was effectively cut.
Around 2.000 no kidding
Hannibal, is that you?
Half the comments be like:
China has fast internet
But at what cost?
Some kind of marketplace like eBay.
Having bought and sold there the rules are quite arbitrary, and their cryptic algorhitm is a nuisance to buyers (you clicked by accident on a stove? You’re gonna see a ton of stoves in the recommended for a while!) and periodically harms sellers (if you don’t post daily and basically make it your day job, good luck making money!)
a federated alternative, with different instances for various interests and categories, meta-categories even and so on. Maybe regional instances like we have on here, one for the EU (quite convenient to ship and receive packages from inside of it, no customs wasting time and money) one for North America, one for East Asia, etc. With one being able to purchase from all of them.
Federation would also ensure that rules are properly enforced without abuses or other malpractices like eBay does (did you know eBay shipped a pig head to somebody who publicly criticized them?) since those instances would naturally be avoided and new ones would be made. It would also prevent excessive fees, as the fediverse is generally not a for-profit endeavor, and still, there will always be the option to shop around from other instances.
I usually try qbittorrent + plug-ins (1337x and others) with that you can search for stuff directly from the torrent client which is great. If it’s not there I’ll usually look up on btdig or similar torrent indexers, after that, I’ll send the files to my server via FTP.
Boycotting micro$oft till the day I die, OS monopolies (or close to it) shouldn’t exist. Plus their OS is mediocre at best.
Ideally every corpo should be boycotted though. But it’s quite difficult to boycott some of them (like Google, who likes to live inside every android phone, effectively having a duopoly with Apple, another really shitty company)
New theory dropped: pee is stored in the dick
If you really wanna support them give them a dollar on PayPal, to a creator 1000 views are worth 1/2dollars, ergo it’s pretty hard for them to make even just a mere dollar off of you through ads, I block all ads and donate when their content is useful/entertaining
IDK I would be pretty happy if shitty body-ruining fast food and proprietary Spyware like Microsoft left my country, I would like my shitty neofascist government sliiiightly more (I am Italian, sadly) if instead of sucking on uncle Sam’s hairy balls they would kick harmful corpos out
Over the course of a year you basically bought an HDD (but excluding backups/power)
Ok Biden bot, the red scare (a documented historical fact) is now a conspiracy I guess
ah yes, the old Falun Gong lie
patriot act, red scare, CIA killing journalists etc
the entire united States of America is built on stolen land
As I said.
So the US is a regime, got it
Name something bad you think China has done, the US has done that but 10x worse
If it’s western it’s a country but if it’s Chinese/not western allinged it’s a regime?
Thank you for your service, you served many students 🙏, you are in all ways superior to every single US soldier.
What is a speed lab? You literally make speed? Lmao sounds fun
And they sometimes get called “tankies” too by people to the right of them. That’s why I both think it’s a useless term (if everybody is a tankie, then nobody is) and why I think I fall in the definition (as most leftists do, I’ve seen pretty mild social democrats being called “tankies” by liberals)
Plus ultimately these blanket descriptions are pretty useless IMO, you’ll find extremely heated debates between “tankies” themselves on many topics, there’s no consensus, and there are many different ideologies “tankies” subscribe to. It would be like saying that Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians and Greens are all the same thing. We could call them “dronies” maybe.
