I read the first paragraph and it was pretty much exactly what I said. I’m not confused by the meaning of the term, if that’s why you shared it.

I find that when people use this term I get suspicious. It could be used to describe authoritarian Stalinists, Maoists, Marxist-Leninists, or just communists/socialists in general. I wish that posters would be more specific, because everyone and their mother has a different definition of “tanky”. It often comes across as a thought-terminator. I’m not up to speed on the Lemmy beef, so I have no idea who’s right, but I’ve seen like 10 posts about tankies and none of them really defined the term, which is very frustrating.

Where? I’m out of the loop, but I would find that surprising.

This looks pretty good, going by the gameplay trailer on steam. Do the devs have previous releases or is it their first?

Which industry is that?

In what way is installing from the play store fundamentally different? Just because it was preloaded on your phone? What if F droid was preloaded on your phone instead? Is it still sideloading? Google’s logic breaks down pretty quickly when you think about it

That obviously does not make you a Republican

What would you get instead? I think if Google actually follows through with this, I’ll switch to LineageOS, which is still Android. Obviously, iOS is much worse on this front.

Every major Chinese achievement from their mass transit system to their big corporations to their economic growth to them pulling ahead technologically to so many more, all come with big asterisks attached that make them much more questionable.

Could you give one or two as examples?

Sorry I’m late, but I don’t think Matthew 25:41 suggests Jesus believed in eternal punishment. It’s a very specific theology that we know very well today, so it’s easy to read it into the text. But that verse says that the fire is eternal, not necessarily the suffering.

It’s pretty likely that Jesus believed in the idea of the “second death”(not eternal).

“And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” (Matt 10:28)

Its more likely that Jesus’s understanding of hell is far from the modern Christian theology.

Now about human hierarchy:

Off the top of my head, we have:

• Jesus commanding the rich man to sell everything he has and give the money to the poor
• “the last will be first and the first will be last”
• Luke 6:20-25
• talking with and standing up for sex workers

I’m sure I can find more when I have some time.

That any person who disobeyed the ruler should be tortured.

If this is about hell, I don’t think Jesus believed in hell, at least not as we know it. He also did definitely teach about erasing the social hierarchy, at least among humans. So he was a theocrat, sure, but he wasn’t only a theocrat.

I would think the image uses the class definition of capitalist. (Part of the owning class, not the working class)

Otherwise, technically, if the means of production are owned by the people or the state, then other private property(not used for production) can exist without capitalism. So you could have someone who believes in private property but not capitalism. But you’re basically right.

Canadian here. Choosing between UK English and US English feels like choosing between an abusive father and abusive husband.

God you’re stupid if you somehow came to that conclusion after I said I prefer the Democrats twice

deleted by creator

You said you voted against fascism, but you voted for lesser fascism. I’d probably do the same but I’m not gonna pretend like Democrats are the good guys.

I take it you voted 3rd party then

I’m not American but I probably would have voted Democrat if I was.

However, Democrats who are more mad at leftists voting third party than they’re mad at republicans or their own fucking party that simply could not be bothered to stop bombing children to gain the left-wing vote: Go fuck yourselves.

Y’all, these comments are not it. How are you more upset about fat people than how the airlines have given all our leg room and storage space to first class/business class?
