New day, new disappointment.

Ew. This thread is filled with tankie trash. Blocked.

Let me guess, you didn’t vote in 2024, and removeded about Democrats the entire time. How’s the Trump regime working out for you kreskin?

You’re a chump that thinks the Democrats are out to attack progressives. Maybe don’t be an uneducated dork.

almost universally want authoritarianism and dictatorships? those are far right positions

These are both far right and far left positions. That’s what I’m saying.

The left tends to want some flavour of socialist democracy.

Yes, the center-left wants this. The far-left wants revolutions and purity tests, burning down the system, and leaving minorities to die and fend for themselves while they wage their “class war”.

What far right labels as far left

Why would you depend on the far right for any kind of accurate definition? Bernie is not far left in reality. He is center left.

Yes pro authoritarian far left that’s basically communism.

I’d say it’s the stages before communism. When the authoritarians have to take all the power to give it to the people. The problem is that is impossible. Once the authoritians have taken all the power, they never give it up. So real communism doesn’t exist and can never exist because it always requires some type of revolution and central organization after the effects of the revolution. And that central power will never give up that power.

So just because they haven’t reached “true” communism doesn’t mean they are all of a sudden now on the “far-right”.

Today’s tankies are still considered far-left.

You can be both pro-authoritarian and far left. In fact, that’s kind of the definition of far left.

Tankies have almost nothing in common with the far left

This doesn’t make sense because tankies are the far left. What you’re thinking of as far left is actually center left.

They aren’t on the political spectrum at all because they don’t believe in any kind of governance.

I keep seeing this image repeated on Lemmy but I don’t buy it. It’s just an attempt for leftists to distance themselves from tankies. If you’re left but not a tankie, you are just center-left. Only tankies are far-left

Just look at ML or Hexbear right here on Lemmy. The tankies love Putin and Xi. Horseshoe is a law not a theory.

Hell they assasinate their own regularly.

His desire to execute Tesla owners, while understandable considering how they drive, is a bit extreme. His other goals though. 👌

When have Republicans ever let the constitution stop them?

I hedge my bets and do both. I deposit a regular amount regardless of what happens but will throw in a bit extra when it’s clear there is a dip. I prefer the international ETFs also. Can’t go wrong being more diversified.

Double recommend the emergency fund. I have 6 months income but with the current volatility and that fact that I live in this American shit hole, I may want to start contributing more to it to get 9 months at least. But since I have 6 months already I’m fine with not missing this opportunity to buy the dip.

I only wish I had waited a week to make my yearly IRA contribution. I generally do a lump sum for that since I just max out the contribution for the year with my bonus mainly because it’s easier to keep track of. This event makes me want to rethink that strategy since I missed the dip on that by a week. It probably doesn’t matter that much though since I can’t touch my IRAs for around 30 years anywho.

That’s what I did. I rebalanced my stock allocation from 50% to 80% and put a few thousand more in the market.

It’s not gullibility. It’s intentional ignorance and simply believing what they want to believe so they can hate the people they want to hate.

Even now the majority of republicans will defend Trump’s actions.

If only that shooter had better aim.
