In a press conference this week on New York City’s $12 billion budget gap, Mayor Zohran Mamdani zeroed in on the previous administration’s artificial intelligence chatbot as one of “a number of different things we’re going to pursue for savings.”

If you’re comparing shitting on tankies to McCarthyism, you might be a tankie.
Lots of people on the left hate tankies, because tankies are more fascist than leftist in praxis. McCarthyism basically accuses anyone with a remotely left-wing opinion as being as bad as a tankie, which is a strawman.
Tankies have more in common with McCarthyism than they’re willing to admit. That’s called horseshoe politics.
I would swap fascism with authoritarianism or totalitarianism. To equal the left and right wing in any kind always sounds like horseshoe theory. But apart from that you are right.
You don’t know what fascism is, apparently.
As for horseshoe nonsense . . .
I know precisely what fascism is, and the dumbfuck tankies accusing Mamdani of it are absolutely wrong.
I said they’re the same in praxis, not ideology. You’d think a fucking leftist would understand the difference.
And your picture is kind of a strawman in this context, because I wasn’t using “horseshoe politics” to describe phenomena of the abolition era. I was using it to describe phenomena of the current era where the contexts are different. But since tankies are allergic to nuance, I don’t suppose you’ll be comprehend that and you’ll probably just resort to ad hominems.
Yes dear, everyone that doesn’t agree with your nonsense is a tankie, and therefore wrong.
You were saying about ad hominems?
I never said everyone who disagrees with me is a tankie. I said anyone who accuses Mamdani of being a fascist is a tankie. That’s a delusion no one but a tankie would hold.
Fascist tankies? Tell me you’ve huffed capitalist propaganda without telling me you’ve huffed capitalist propaganda. Y’all are miseducated af
Capitalists could not give a fuck less about tankies, what they think, what they are doing. These people basically only exist on Internet forums and have zero effect on anyone outside of their bubble.
Fuck off, tankie.
