If someone uses the word tankie it’s a pretty good sign that they don’t actually understand history or political theory and don’t know what they’re talking about beyond current events and maybe a podcast or two.

Most Mao and Stalin fans have a more nuanced take on it, if they’ve actually read anything by them. The theory they espouse demands that you look at things so not totalities and take into account several different things when thinking critically of political figures in history. It’s like… one of the major points of dialectics in Marxist theory.

But people see someone defending certain aspects of a person like Stalin and Mao and immediately think “OH THIS PERSON THINKS THEY DID NOTHING WRONG” which is something I’ve only seen in memes, and those memes are mostly making fun of people who think in absolutes like that.

Tankies is used as shorthand for Marxist Leninists. As far as I know nothing about that ideology supports the use of tanks on civilians. Am I missing something here?

He was just talking about how the texts were real And how he didn’t like Justin Roiland over that anymore or whatever. Yep, creepy texts, shitty dude. I guess he was bad like that just in general to other staff.

But this meme is about him in prison and he ain’t going there anymore is my point.

Oh I agree whole heartedly. But he isn’t going to prison over it is what I’m saying.

I thought they dropped the charges

It honestly reads like an excuse to not exercise and then blame your weight problems on things that are outside of your control.

I jog a lot. It sucks every time and it’s hard to get out and do it every time. I still do it. It’s not a “turn off my brain and I’m just magically fitter” thing.

This person is looking for excuses for their weight problems it seems to me.

As far as I know, I’m neurotypical and stuff is still the same for me as OP. I don’t think it’s a neurotypical or not thing, I just think different people form habits differently.

Do you not know what actually happened and want people to tell you? Or are you just being willfully ignorant?

2005 was a hard year for everyone named Charlie.

Yeah that’s true. Some people definitely suffer more than others though.

That’s horrible. That poor man. Some people go through so much pain and trauma that it’s hard for us regular guys to even comprehend.

Lol I’ve never actually had a conversation like that with my friends on blow. I’ve never personally saw myself co-owning my business though, I don’t like other people having a say in how I run things so that’s probably why.

I’ve had friends try to convince me to start a podcast with them before though.

…soup for my family.

Y’all never just have a lay in the shower?

I didn’t know I missed FBF memes until today.

Basically the Jan 6th riot for nerds.

Like… on purpose?! There’s gotta be better ways man.

The jazz part from Bakers Street play in anyone else’s head when they saw this?

Meta WILL fuck up everything they touch with an aggressive amount of ads. I do not want this future.

Ugh.

Why.

Just why.

How so?
