Chicago Police and the FBI are investigating if saboteurs placed bugs in a breakfast buffet prepared for delegates at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday.
“Multiple unknown female offenders are alleged to have entered a building…and began placing unknown objects onto tables containing food,” the convention’s information center said in a statement. “The offenders are believed to have then left the area. One victim was treated and released on-scene. Along with CPD, FBI-Chicago is assisting in the investigation.”
Ok so was it tankies or MAGA?
I’m guessing qanon brand crazies, Alex Jones types are constantly saying that the dems are trying to force everyone to eat bugs so I imagine it’s related to that.
Ok so MAGA
Brother I fucking wish Marxist-leninists were enough of a problem to create real life news. I might not be one, but they actually make a good foil for dem socialists.
By tankies do you just mean people against the Palestinian protesters… Yikes
Per Urban Dictionary (NA, 2004): "A hardline Stalinist. A tankie is a member of a communist group or a “fellow traveller” (sympathiser) who believes fully in the political system of the Soviet Union and defends/defended the actions of the Soviet Union and other accredited states (China, Serbia, etc.) to the hilt, even in cases where other communists criticise their policies or actions. For instance, such a person favours overseas interventions by Soviet-style states, defends these regimes when they engage in human rights violations, and wishes to establish a similar system in other countries such as Britain and America.
The term is used to distinguish the rare individuals with these kinds of beliefs from communists more broadly (including Communist Party members), whose adherence to Soviet doctrine and attachment to existing “socialist” states is somewhat weaker.
It is always more-or-less abusive in the sense that those termed tankies do not use the term themselves, but it doesn’t have any particular bite (unlike, say, Trot).
The term derives from the fact that the divisions within the communist movement first arose when the Soviet Union sent tanks into communist Hungary in 1956, to crush an attempt to establish an alternative version of communism which was not embraced by the Russians. Most communists outside the eastern bloc opposed this action and criticised the Soviet Union. The “tankies” were those who said “send the tanks in”.
The epithet has stuck because tankies also supported “sending the tanks in” in cases such as Czechoslovakia 1968, Afghanistan 1979, Bosnia and Kosovo/a (in the case of the Serbian state), and so on (whereas the rest of the communist movement has gravitated towards anti-militarism). I wouldn’t be surprised if the tankies even defend Saddam Hussein.
Some of the people round George W Bush used to be left-wing, but they haven’t really changed their views much; they were mostly tankies."

Ok but there are no large camps of people at the DNC defending the soviet union… There are people protesting the Palestinian movement. So im pointing out that person oeginally asking of it was maga or tankies is using thr word tankies to belittle people protesting genocide and how gross that is.
Get me?
I can’t say I didn’t at least try to educate you. I’m not responding further, as you’re acting in bad faith.
Im not but i get that there is no real argument to call people against genocide tankies so i get why youre tapping out.
Back to .ml with you, nutjob.

You’re the one who brought it up when it was completely unrelated, weirdo
