frippa @lemmy.ml "Have these gentlemen ever seen a revolution? A revolution is certainly the most authoritarian thing there is; it is the act whereby one part of the population imposes its will upon the other part by means of rifles, bayonets and cannon"
I think we need more govt subsidies to green tech and less subsidies to the fossil industry, i don't care if it's all a big 8d chess move to make us all speak Mandarin Chinese, the important bit is not dying rn.
And they sometimes get called "tankies" too by people to the right of them. That's why I both think it's a useless term (if everybody is a tankie, then nobody is) and why I think I fall in the definition (as most leftists do, I've seen pretty mild social democrats being called "tankies" by liberals)
Plus ultimately these blanket descriptions are pretty useless IMO, you'll find extremely heated debates between "tankies" themselves on many topics, there's no consensus, and there are many different ideologies "tankies" subscribe to. It would be like saying that Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians and Greens are all the same thing. We could call them "dronies" maybe.
YES
Everybody to the left of biden is considered a tankie nowdays, and I'm proud of being to the left of (and opposed to) genocide enablers.
Collcata verba sunt accuratius modulatiusque.
No wonder, all far-right projects like his need a common enemy to unite against. If there's none, just buy one.
This would be true if we lived in a world where salary increases matched inflation. I make ~5% more on paper than I made a couple years ago, yet we had terrible inflation in the eurozone, my salary was effectively cut.
"we have nothing to complain about, but we'll still complain because fuck the poor, am I right?"
The fact that a worker who barely makes ends meet pays 10-20 times the taxes Amazon pays is... Fascinating in a dark way.
Similar to feudal peasants that used to pay up in the form of free labor and produce, while their noble overlords enjoyed massive privileges and zero taxes.
They weren't colonized that's for sure, they were (mostly) Muslim Arabs in a country where being a Muslim/Arab was normal and didn't imply you had less rights or straight up didn't deserve life.
Well he was world famous, I'm not from the US myself but most genX and older (~40+) knew about him and his trial at least superficially
His plan A wasn't even to escape to Russia, the EU and USA blocked the Ecuadorian plane who was trying to rescue him.
He ran to football fame and made fortunes in movies. His trial for the murder of his former wife and her friend became an inflection point on race in America.
Gentleman move

Be an underpaid babysitter for a rich fuck!
Seriously, "Ensure the CEO sleeps before a certain time"
With all those skills, tasks and resposabilites they're asking for a fucking full-stack babysitter...
CloudLinux?
So, I'm looking to rent a VPS to host a site and stuff, there's a reasonably priced provider in my country, the only thing is when I went to check the OS the machine runs I was expecting something like Ubuntu server, Debian or maybe some RHEL-compatible, what TF is cloud Linux? All that I could find online is the company's site and not much more. Somebody knows if it's a debian or a RHEL-like? What package system they use and such? Thanks.
