Ah, here we are

I posted it on MoG, but I don't remember the title.

thats another view of history and i appreciate your input. but you rewrote what i alluded to, parts of what you said are parts i didnt mention because i was offering a general summary.

I literally only addressed issues that I directly quoted you on above.

the white army/loyalists who were formerlly part of that army were still very much active after the fall of the tsarist regime, even decades later.

No. They really weren't. The Whites were spent as a force within Russia by '23. The only Whites who remained active were emigres in other countries who spent most of their time moping and begging from their hosts.

this is part of what lead to the birth of gullags under lenin. and the slaughters under stalin,

Neither of those claims are true. The birth of the GULAG system arguably has its roots in the Tsarist regime, but its most infamous incarnation under Lenin was applied to political prisoners in general; and under Stalin simply whoever caught their neighbor's ire at a given point in time.

, they didnt vanish overnight,

No, they vanished over the course of 5 years of civil war. And they weren't that powerful to begin with; the Bolsheviks killed as many anarchists and dissident socialists as Whites during the civil war.

and they 100% recieved support from the west after the revolution for a multitude of purposes that undermined russia.

Only until the Russian Civil War was over. Fuck, man, most of Stalin's industrial reforms were enabled by Western material and technical assistance in the 1930s.

and yes it was gross mismanagment, but pretending like the west wasnt actively attempting to undermine or foster the flames of a counter revolution in russia post lenin, all the way up to the modern day is an example of western teachings on the subject.

Again, the post-WW2 situation was outright hopeful in the West until it was clear to even the most naive that Stalin had no intention of keeping any of the promises he made.

the truth, as they say, is always somewhere in the middle.

The Golden Mean Fallacy is just that. The truth between Alex Jones claiming 10,000 water-breathing human hybrids in vats created by the UN and sane people claiming 0 is not 5,000. The truth is the truth, regardless of the range between claimants; and claimants can be completely correct or completely incorrect.

The targets of his genocide were white French, regardless of economic class.

He's a Cuman with a mask; Gambargin draws a lot of medieval art and the "Smiling Cuman" shows up as a regular.

PugJesus @piefed.social 7d ago

Sorry that acknowledging genocide is "reactionary garbage" to you. Go back and lick boots with your fellow fascists on .ml.

PugJesus @piefed.social 7d ago

Life hurts, and sometimes all you can do is move forward.

The artist (Gambargin) has a lot of personal struggles and posts things like this that are a mix between sad and motivational.

You have to keep going, in the end.

PugJesus @piefed.social 7d ago

Ban evasion and bleating out a "The people are tired of experts!" line on history isn't the gotcha you think it is. Sorry that you think being misinformed is equivalent to being educated on a subject. I hope you recover from being a MAGA chud in a different color of sportswear.

PugJesus @piefed.social 7d ago

Silly me. I thought you were a moron or a tankie. Turns out, you're just a troll.

PugJesus @piefed.social 7d ago

They say they don’t, but the purportedly uncritical subscription to Stalinism and Maoism will often be deduced from something like, Land Back or “voting reform isn’t enough.”

Saying that you hope someone aligns with Stalin, Kim Jong Un, and Xi Jingping when they say that they're a leftist is, apparently, also not a tankie opinion according to you. How curious. Almost sounds like your tongue is latched to a boot.

I’m afraid it’s tough to meet this seriously if I don’t even know what “the biggest comm” on fediverse is meant to be, from here that’s a screenshot of a post that is apparently a lib making fun of libs without knowing what a lib is.

Considering what's said below this, this is immensely ironic.

The “tankieness” of course being the inclusion of genocidal authoritarian figures alongside thinkers and activists, not any indication of authentic substance beyond this political-compass-level meme.

"Hitler was only ONE of my listed 'great thinkers whom I admire'! I'm not really a Nazi!"

Also, called it:

Next I predict “Kim Jong Un isn’t really a tankie, shitlib!”

Which, reading this and then seeing your profile, the story is becoming much much clearer. I don’t interact with communities where men pretend at politics all that much (or in earnest)

... if you don't interact in political communities, why the fuck would you think you'd have any idea of how prevalent tankies are or are not here?

It's like hearing someone complain about shit being smeared in the men's room, you butting in to say you have no idea what they're talking about and how YOU'VE never seen shit in the men's room, and then saying you never use public bathrooms anyway.

Utter fuckwit.

My power seems to be that I don’t seek out “tankies,” which is to say liberal men who don’t know what liberalism or “leftism” is beyond the recursive loop of their validation communities.

That you think identifying one's political allies as fucking Stalin and Kim Jong Un is 'liberal' is beyond insane.

It's like, fuck, I completely sympathize with the idea that voting won't bring the necessary reforms in our current system. I may not be at that level of despair just yet, but I get it, there's nothing in principle wrong with rejecting electoralism as a solution.

But "Harm reduction isn't important" is utterly insane.

If you think canvassing is a waste of time, if you think your polling place is going to be flooded with bullshit and you have a family to take care of, if you aren't going to even bother with donating to a DemSoc candidate, that's all legitimate. But if you (generic you, not you personally) live in a place where voting is easy and you aren't doing the bare minimum of ten fucking minutes of your time for harm reduction; or worse, are actively discouraging harm reduction of that sort?

Get fucked. The people who shit on harm reduction are more interested in being the purest coprophage around rather than the actual lives of marginalized demographics

Every day I learn about a new thing about myself. Today, it is my uncanny power to part unavoidable tankies like the Red Sea as I pass through unawares. Strange that I should see this term alienated from them so often then.

Here, let me help - most recent fucking post of one of the largest comms on the Fediverse:

Next I predict "Kim Jong Un isn't really a tankie, shitlib!"

“Even back in 2023,” the ancient times of three years ago

"Even back when tankies were even more common outside of their circlejerks, people still insisted on playing dipshit bootlicking games to deny their presence"

ftfy

PugJesus @piefed.social 7d ago

Mood.

PugJesus @piefed.social 7d ago

I remember hearing this even back in 2023, when it was impossible to avoid tankies playing fucking Holodomor denial and Uyghur Genocide denial. That was back when Hexbear was still more 'active' outside of their circlejerk. So you'll have to forgive me for seeing tankie shite almost every day, and that without even stepping foot into ANY .ml comm, and thinking that maybe complaining about people bootlicking for genocide and capitalist oligarchy because it has a thin coat of red paint is warranted.
