The "best we've got" are working WITH the white nationalists, our parties are co-dependent AND switch their platform at whim regardless.
For example, Democrat used to mean "labor party". They abandoned labor a long time ago, it was dead by the 1990s. They abandoned labor once they were in power.
Republican used to mean "state's rights". They abandoned State's rights very recently once they were in power.
Both parties have the same "employers" and our "issues" aren't even really issues. We're distracted with gay marriage so we don't actually address international banking cartels controlling our "money" supply, insider trading, asset forfeiture, and so on, endless real issues with tens of millions of citizens robbed blind with no end in sight.
I didn't say that's what you said, I addressed how I responded to you. Obviously.
I don't care what you are and don't want to discuss you personally, thank you.
Tankie means "authoritarian communist", regardless of what you are or what you think the word means. "Tankie" has nothing to do with "peace". Actually!
Definitions exist independently of you, thank God!
I addressed your argument re "definition", what the definition was, and what makes a definition.
It's okay if you don't see that, that means that you are suffering from some sort of cognitive dissonance. You can't see it! It's like it doesn't exist!
No accusations have been made, it's all here for anyone else to see (as long as they don't share your cognitive dissonance, that is).
What you say or "believe" doesn't matter, the definition of "tankie" remains "authoritarian communist", not "peace-loving friends" or what have you. And tankies love tanks and communism and Stalin.
What you personally are or are not doesn't matter, it's irrelevant.
The definition reflects how it's actually used. That's what definitions are. They reflect what is "actually used". If they weren't what was "actually used", they would cease to be definitions.
It's not generally actually used towards people who promote peaceful, diplomatic solutions.
It is actually used to refer to "authoritarian communists" generally.
You should recognize that your subjective experiences never dictate objective reality. You are not "the decider" of definitions. General actual use is the decider.
The people who have used the term inappropriately against you were either jerking your chain and using it ironically, or misinformed and/or stupid.
I've been familiar with the term for decades. It has NEVER meant "people who promote peaceful diplomatic solutions", and it never will.
Feel free to prove me wrong with ANY source whatsoever other than your imagination and recall! During our brief acquaintance, I have learned to distrust your claims.
tankie
noun
A member of the Communist Party of Great Britain who slavishly followed the Kremlin line, agreeing with the crushing of revolts in Hungary and later Czechoslovakia by SOVIET TANKS (capitalization used for emphasis).
This was how the term was first used in the 80s. As of today, the definition has expanded to all "authoritarian communists".
It's frustrating to me that they only throw the blame at "Republicans" when the Democrats openly work with them. "We're the labor party tee-hee we're just really bad at labor stuff it's hard lol"
And it's frustrating to me that they only blame political parties, and not the wealthy institutions and people that use them for their own agenda with massive infusions of cash.
See the Heritage Foundation, the Council on Foreign Relations, and their financiers just to start. Thank you.
If you don’t want anything to do with Jesus, He respects your decision.
Okay, burning in Hell for not wanting anything to do with the mass murderer Jesus is by no means "just". Also, murdering those who do not agree to worship is not "respecting your decision"
If you’re talking about hell, no he doesn’t. Hell was made to torture him. Hell wasn’t made for Humans. Heaven was.
God knew it was made to torture humans, how can you tell? Because He uses it to torture humans. He describes their torture.
Lucifer? Well, He hangs out with Lucifer, and they talk and gossip and murder and torture for sport. According to God, anyway. Are you calling God a liar?
Rape was never commanded. God executed his judgement on the evil and the wicked. You cannot be mad at God for wiping out the wicked.
Sure it was, repeatedly. Do you think the new "owners" waited for consent to have sex with their newly-captured virgin slave wives whose family they just murdered in cold blood? Absurd. Sickening. Vile.
God knew they would be raped, because He commanded "His People" to enslave (and marry) them. The lucky ones were murdered.
That's not just. People who don't worship God are not "wicked" and worthy of murder and rape.
Words are defined by common use. If the common use of the word “tankie” is to throw it at people who oppose war, then that’s what it means now. You can say it’s defined as being pro- war, but I’ve never seen it used that way.
Indeed. And the common use of the word tankie is "authoritarian communist"
Why are you using an uncommon definition?
Why would you call someone who opposes tanks a "tankie"? Kinda silly.
That's exactly the problem!
