    Don’t confuse online populations with irl populations.

    Also, LGBT activists are working for their liberty and pursuit of happiness. Activism will become unnecessary when their liberties to be as they wish with themselves are no longer under attack. In the meantime, they are not generally pro-Russian or pro-CCP.

      Online popultions do have some equivalent IRL. Outside of English speaking part of the internet, structure of these populations is completely different - neither socialism, tankies or LGBT have as much online presence as in US

        Yeah, real tankies are actually very rare in the US, unless you’re getting all your facts from Tucker or something.

      So are the tankies.

      In a very real sense, a person who works two minimum wage jobs and spends almost all their income on rent and transport is not free. They are a virtual slave to the wealthy.

        Eh, I kinda doubt that, I think it’s important to draw a line between a socialist and a tankie. But sure, if you want think that.

          A socialist wants to improve the lives of the poor.

          A Communist (or “tankie”) wants there to be no more poor.

            Eh, they also tend to support using tanks to accomplish that, which creates massive poverty and suffering with a very poor track record of success.

              As if Western liberal democracies never use tanks.

                Sure. But you can’t say you’re against poverty and then advocate for things that create poverty, that’s a strong sign you’re dealing with a propagandist or some sort of twisted-up mentality.

                Being a neo-lib leaning capitalist society, (here in the US at least) we’re clearly not against poverty, are we? We are not claiming we are trying to solve poverty and then sending tanks that create more poverty. It’s consistent and straight-forward.

                  So, do you own a house?

                  Are you ever going to be able to own a house?

                    I do not discuss specific personal details on the internet, just out of general principle.

                    I thought we were talking about tankies anyway. Do they have a realistic plan for how tanks can address rising housing prices in the US?

                    I own an apartment. I don’t plan to own a house - as I understand it’s an american dream, but I neither live in US nor am I US citizen. Expectations are different in other parts of the world.

                    Also the housing economy is very different here in Poland - its all about mass produced apartments, that cost equivalent of ~200-250k USD for 60m2 in a large city.
