    They’re now trawling through commenters’ profiles to find an epic logic own which proves they’re tankies. This is the above comment which is very tankie:

    EVs also really play to China’s strengths in that they have a much lower barrier to entry than internal combustion cars which require significantly more R&D. Instead anyone can slap a battery and electric motors onto a chassis, so now Chinese EVs can compete on price and features. Given the extremely efficient supply chain and manufacturing industry China has, this means they can outcompete on both high end luxury EVs and extremely cheap workhorse EVs.

    I completely agree that they’re going to have a hard right pivot to some kind of nationalist right-wing ideology. Ten years is too optimistic. Five at most. They’re already halfway there and just need that final push of other anarchists saying “you’re weird”. This thread could even be that moment for them since most of the replies are calling out how nonsensical they are.


  • If anything I want some reactionary dumbass to spend a few thousand dollars for it. For us it will mean absolutely nothing- /r/chapotraphouse became chapo.chat became hexbear without any change to its culture. The name becoming dick.butt just means I type a new url in. If that anti-tankie goober on reddit buys it though, whatever they create is going to be as reactionary and toxic as they are. It will just ruin their reputation and finances, while maybe giving us a new slop farm if they try to make it into a forum.

















  • “THERE were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.”
