    Honey. The whole point is that tankies supporting sending tanks against the working class. If your “solidarity” is supporting authoritarian regimes that surpress and kill people then you need to realize your only solidarity is with the people in power. Not the working class












  • i mean, for you to spend “half your life” in the command line, you’d have to be on a quite terminal intensive path? There are quite a lot of less intimidating Gui’s and on no distro I’ve ever been on has there been that much need for terminal.

    Hell, after installing arch it still ran fine and I could get all my gui’s, without much terminal fuss (after installing in pure terminal)

    It’s an incredibly useful tool, but not that needed for everyday use.

    To add to the tankie discussion

    I’d like to support the explanation of tankie, but keep the wording. It’s been around for a reason - being that it’s far easier to self-regulate and keeping “authoritarian socialists” out.

    The reason we should keep tankie is for education. States using tanks against it’s citizens are not cool. I myself learned a lot about authoritarianism after encountering the word initially.

    Tankie is misused, but easily explained as to what it actually is, and I have shown people to wikipedia, not much harder than that.

    196 has a long history of having no tankie rule, from reddit to lemmy. And I honestly think it’s important to keep it.
