The DM was a DM asking us to change our no tankies policy and remove the fuck tankies banner as it was apparently upsetting hexbear users. Apparently tankies view the word tankie as a form of slur. The admin wants us to ally as a form of “left solidarity”

    Someone’s missed the boat on Cuba’s new constitution.

    Just a snippet, btw:

    Since June 2008, qualifying Cubans have been able to have free sex reassignment surgeries under Resolución 126 (“Resolution 126”).[79][80] Opinion polling suggested the move was unpopular among the Cuban public.[81]

    As many scholars suggest, the Cuban Government treats trans rights and sex reassignment surgeries as a health issue. Cuba operates under the idea that healthcare is a right to all, allowing trans people access to public health care.

    AES literally more based than the United States.

    I’ll leave my emojis below:

      That’s great. Good for them. Personally, I’m a lot more amenable to supporting Cuba. While certainly still deeply imperfect, I see Cuba as largely the victim of American bullshit sanctions.

      But the fact that Cuba is better doesn’t change the fact that tankies regularly support China specifically. If you support two things, with one being good and one being bad, you’re still supporting a bad thing. So I don’t think your comment justifies support for China.
