  • That sounds to me like you were just dealing with bad faith actors, which isn't uncommon here unfortunately.

    I think we both agree on what it's intended use is meant to be for. I guess you've just had the misfortune of dealing with people misusing the label to shut down any actual discussion.

  • I think you hit the nail on the head with this comment. Stalin was a very influential man who shaped large part of the 20th century. Villanizing or idolizong his achievements without acknowledging the other side of the coin would be having an incorrect outlook on him.

    I took a quick read of the link describing tankies. It more or less echoes what you said. That being said my observation of the use of the word tankie doesn't fall in line with what the author was talking about. I've seen it used primarily for people who staunchly or blindly defend figures like Stalin and are incapable of acknowledging any criticisms of said figures. What yoyre describing is more of a lefty or a socialist in my opinion. The article was written in 2020 so maybe the use of the word has evolved over time. I haven't been familiar with the word for that long to say otherwise.

  • Fear not—there's no one-click option, so no one should be in any danger of absent-mindedly buying a brand-new Palisade.

    Well that's reassuring. I was getting worried. I honestly hate when that happens.

  • Bed is life.

  • The rational is the old agreement to respect rhe borders is null and void due to the coup by the rebels. Syria is a stateless nation in their eyes and they see it as free real estate, just like you said.

  • I mean it's pretty obvious that the Democrats are more in line with what the Republicans were 10-15 years ago.

  • They already had the Golan Heights. They just yoinked a buffer zone for their buffer zone.

  • I mean sure, but redrawing them based on ethnic backgrounds isn't the way to go either.

  • Idk that sounds a lot like just creating more regional division. At the end of the day they are all Syrian, regardless of religion or ethnicity. I'm not knowledgeable enough to say your solution won't work or is a bad idea, just a bit doubtful.

  • Given HTS historical ties to exteemist groups like Al Qaeda I do hope this is a good thing for all Syrians. Time will tell.

  • The bounty is still on his head, no?

  • A promising development for the Shia in the region. I remember this was a big reason Hezbolllah stepped into Syria in 2012 given the importance of the shrine.

  • That's both a powerful and incredibly sombre quote.

  • Buffer for the buffer. How do you think Israel has been growing for the past 80 years? Taking land one crisis at a time.

  • And then send settlers to settle in the dudes house.

  • Just goes to show what these fuckers think of human life. Saying to countries like Israel "we're on the same side".

  • Holy backpedaling. Looks like someone had a stern talking to.

  • Are any of these open source or trustworthy?

  • Oh I see. Sorry, I misunderstood your comment.
