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.”

    Tankies are fucking assholes, fascists are fucking assholes. Both things can be true at once

    Yeah, because you disagree with two things doesn’t make them equal. You want to bitch about tankies, go right ahead. You want to claim they’re equal to fascists, you’re doing the same stupidity liberals do with their horseshoe nonsense, and for the same reason - it lets you take the status quo as a best of all worlds, since anyone who opposes it is obviously an evil authoritarian asshole.

    they think anyone who isn’t on their side is on the opposite side

    I’m not a tankie, yet you keep referring to me as such. So.

    I was criticizing tankies for accusing Mamdani of being a fascist, which is a ridiculous assertion on all levels

    It is. You’re also pretending some schizo posting is an article in Pravda, which somehow still exists and is the party line. You make a strawman of what tankies believe, then claim anyone who disagrees with you is such, and pretend that’s not equally ridiculous.

    I’m not so fucking stupid that I think communists and fascists believe in the same ideals

    The terms you use certainly imply that. So you should probably stop doing that if you don’t want to be considered stupid in that regard.
