Lmao I’m not surprised that a wallstreetbets mod thought a subreddit’s name is a trademark.

I thought the proverb was: cook a golden goose and you’ll eat for a day. Teach the golden goose to lay eggs and you’ll eat for a lifetime.

Gold is edible btw. Or at least inedible and non-toxic. It passes through without chemically reacting.

The problem with that is you’re framing it as something the left opposes. When pandering to the right the correct play is to frame it as something the right supports.

You’ll never be an ally to communists, no matter how hard you perpetuate Cold War propaganda.

Be the change you want to see in the world.

With a large enough group it becomes likely for the average user to already see the comment they thought of. It becomes fairly pointless and might feel cringe to repeat the same thing even if phrased differently. So you just add your upvote to the pile and move on.

The post’s title only has posters and lurkers as categories.

Since you capitalised National Socialists like a proper noun I’ll assume you are referring to Nazis. The answer to that is yes, Nazis were not socialists. Socialists were among the first groups targeted by the Nazis after attaining majority power.

A bit like how communists were oppressed in the USSR, or how democrats are oppressed in North Korea.

The U.S. was more than happy to conflate Marxist-Leninists(tankies) with communists because it made communists look bad. Tankies are all in on continuing to conflate their own ideology with communism because they understand that being proud of right wing extremist ideology is a bad look.

I wouldn’t be crediting them with enacting good policy if it wasn’t progressive.

If you can show an example of opposing progress that is good I’m all in on that conservative policy.

The ESA was not good because it maintained the status quo. It was good because it was progressive. The fact that it was implemented during a conservative presidency is irrelevant.

If you think that right wing authoritarianism is communism, I’ve got a democratic republic to sell. The only way tankie logic is consistent is if you believe that Nazis were socialists and North Korea is democratic. But somehow those are not true yet the USSR was communist? You gotta stop gulping down the imperialist propaganda. I could forgive someone for believing it during the Red Scare, but these days there’s no excuse.

Tankie apologetics are a farce.

For example, Karl Marx. Clearly an intellectual as evidenced by his writings. But his colorblind/radical centrist take on minority rights fits right in with modern conservative extremists. And then the way he framed his opinions led to far right authoritarian regimes co-opting the label of communism.

Progressive policies implemented during a conservative presidency don’t seem like conservative policies.

Why did Constantinople get the works?

Yall remember those “your stripper name is the street you grew up on and your pet’s name” challenges? Literally phishing for password recovery keys.

Probably the same thing that happens with Reddit. A slow connection doesn’t get confirmation of posting as fast as it wants so it sends the post again.
