@benroyce Wow I knew he was a bit of a tankie but not the Epstein thing, now I do, I absolutely agree. That's certainly a hard reason to fall-out.
unfortunately leftists morphing into right wing turds has a number of examples in this world
when it happens we sever all ties
#NoamChomsky is a piece of shit
we cannot think of him in any other way except scorn
that he once said something insightful is still true, and we can use his past thoughts usefully: quietly, to ourselves
what we can never do anymore is attribute any of that to a man who is now human scum
the name Noam #Chomsky is now rat poison
@benroyce yes and Putin apologists seems to be the beginning of many of them turning.
#tankies are mindless contrarians
"i hate the usa so i support vile regimes" is not principled nor moral
the moral, principled approach is to castigate the #USA *and* #Russia
supporting Russian #imperialism in the name of opposing American imperialism is just fucking stupid
so supposedly intellectual #NoamChomsky is functioning on the same level as a 14 year old edgelord in this fashion
#Chomsky's pedophile apologism in the #EpsteinFiles is just the final nail in the coffin
The German leftist party "Die Linke" had a _lot_ of Tankies who made all sorts of excuses for Putin.
Fortunately, the bulk of these seemed to have moved on to the "Bündnis Sarah Wagenknecht", who (apart from being complete Putin stooges) propagated a policy of, er, "Nationalistic Socialism".
Then they received 4.98% of the vote in the last federal election - which was just shy of the 5% they needed to actually get any seats. It was _glorious_.
And Die Linke did much better at 8.8%, and has now transformed into a party that I can actually respect.
What do we do with these tankies. They seem beyond redemption. In fact I think they merely represent some incoherent ideological evolutionary intermediate species before their full metamorphosis into outright far right fascism
