Bullshit. China is the pioneer in battery technology for years now.

China has the battery production technologies and capabilities, the electric motor production, an unbelievable economy of scale, and insane levels of automation in their EV Factories, those are the main reasons behind their pricing and not "subsidies to destroy our industries". Most subsidies, AFAIK, were tax cuts to purchases in China.

Being rude = threat of violence?

I'll write it one more time: if an instance bans a communist but not the person threatening said person with violence, it's a Nazi-friendly community

As the poem goes, "first they came for the communists"

Why did they come for the communists first? And who did?

You can just say "it's not that bad to threaten violence to communists" or "I disagree with piefed being a Nazi-bar instance" instead of playing rhetorical and asking 12 questions per comment, we're gonna move on much faster.

If the threat of violence from another user directed at me had happened in a .zip instance and I had gotten banned instead of them, I'd be making the same accusation. It happened on piefed, though, no need for hypotheticals.

What do you call someone who allows threats of physical violence to communists. Clue: their kind murdered millions of communists in WW2!

[–] Riverside@reddthat.com 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (14 children)

Sure. I can point you to it: I was threatened with physical violence by a nationalist and I got banned for it (the person who threatened me wasn't)

Tankie is a left-punching slur against Marxist-Leninists, which I choose to appropriate. We call liberals "libs", not dronies despite them supporting Obama even when he was murdering civilians in the middle east using drones. As for the stomping of the antisemitic pogroms in the post-fascist 1956 Hungary, I refer you to comrade Cowbee since they are a lot more well-versed in the topic than I am.

I'm proud of Marxism-Leninism, the ideology that uplifted a billion people from destitute poverty and colonialism towards industrialization, grantez universal healthcare and free education to the highest level, guarantees jobs and housing to every person, tripled life expectancy where it was allowed to exist, and saved Europe from Nazism.

All communities have moderation, depending on the desired results.

-Anarchist instances nuke Nazi and Tankie viewpoints because they consider them authoritarian (see db0 and quokk)

-Tankie instances nuke Nazi and Lib viewpoints because we consider them authoritarian (see hexbear and lemmygrad)

-Lib instances nuke Tankie viewpoints because they consider them authoritarian (see .world)

-Nazi instances nuke Tankie viewpoints because they're nazis (see feddit and piefed)

As a tankie, I take pride that Nazis and Libs nuke my content, and consider it sad that anarchists don't reflect on why anarchist content doesn't get nearly as nuked from mainstream capitalism.
