You got it. It has been my experience as well.

This doesn’t disprove their meme. What it is saying is still true. Those scientist you mention held back progress and couldn’t be “real scientists”

Isn’t weird how all the fascists and Nazis push for AI? Does it make you hesitate or think a bit maybe?

If we’re just a bit nice to those fascists they’ll change their mind 😢

Which? The recent or future? For the recent, it doesn’t matter. It has happened. For the future, it needs to be overwhelming. The opposing candidate to Trump need to win by a yuge margin, something where it is hard for the right wing captured media can lie about. Where people can FEEL it off. Pictures like this validates people’s perception of election results.

I’m with you there brother.

There is no surface to stand on per se, but there is still a swirling, liquid core. If you parachute and it fails, you almost never want to land on water due to the surface tension not being able to break on time so falling at a certain speed it will feel like landing on concrete. I am thinking flying through the core would be similar and impossible.

Also, we as a people, saw what happened to a submersible under high pressures. True, it wasn’t well built, but with how large the gas giants are, the pressures it experiences should be beyond the extremes.

Not only reading comprehension but also media literacy and scientific literacy. Too many people misunderstand simple messages in media. Homelander from The Boys come in mind.

We’re in agreement them. I do want leftists to police much better, but i don’t think it should be along the lines of ideology but behavior. We should moderate on general behavior like stances on bigotry, and due to being leftists, it should open us to be able to see that denial of the Tiannamen square, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, China’s genocide on the Uighur, and more is false information and should be bannable.

I kind of can make the comparison of tankies to MAGA. They are both zealous and fervent followers, but I am not sure i can confidently say yet if they should be outright banned. I am not sure a rule like “No Republicans” in Lemmy is a conducive thing. I understand a no Nazi rule, but I am not sure what the line is and whether tankies are near that line. I will have to concede on this point and read up on other people’s opinion and thoughts on this before I make a conclusion of my own.

The only thing i want to comment on from your post is the horse shoe theory (the left and right blend together and are the same). That kind of idea is what ends up lumping tankies with leftists when their base ideals do not match with leftist values (socialists, communists, anarchists). This is the same rhetoric where centrists and the right wing would use to defend the alt right which further empowers them.

If you support Russia, China, or North Korea you aren’t a leftist. They are authoritarian and fascistic regimes who employ capitalistic systems. Do not lump them in together.

The people who want capitalism dismantled are socialists, communists, and anarchists. Tankies believe in the fascistic and authoritarian governments of Russia and China and always play defense for them. When you actually talk to them and break down their views, they don’t really care about socialism and just want another authoritarian regime. The amount of tankies i have interacted with who think China and North Korea are communist is staggering.

A lot of autistic people enjoy parallel play. I know i enjoy the presence of other people while i read or play games.
