Comment on .ml has got to be the only place on earth where I'd get downvoted for a comment like this
T00l_shed@lemmy.world 1 day agoBecause my library socialist/ Titoist ass is called one constantly for saying such radical things as “the US shouldn’t be excused for their constant war crimes”.
I say that too. I’ve never once been referred to as a tankie.
A tankie is hard to define, but generally someone who is unapologetic when it comes to what russia and china do.

What is “unapologetic”? Like pointing out that the US is constantly is launching wars of aggression, while China hasn’t been in a war since the 70s?
There’s a big false equivalence that liberals want to make between the US and other large powers, that if ores the scope and frequency of US lawlessness.

It’s not whataboutism when people are making false equivalencies.
