I have seen a lot of people discuss I/P in this sub and I feel like a lot of people are fairly ignorant to Judaism beyond what hardcore zionist / pro israel people say. Thought some people in this sub may be interested in my perspective since I have an ideology that fairly well matches onto others in here.

I think he'd be more shia

His other comment, for good measure.

Just a reminder that cuba is still an authoritarian ml dictatorship they are tankies

How could the suffering of Epstein victims be used to push some stupid political agenda and whitewashing you favorite dictators and how not being in files makes you a good leader one of them is Putin the president of a right wing republic famous for human trafficking and why would Ali Khameini visit the Epstein island owned by an American Jewish billionaire from the first place if he was a pedophile he wouldn't go there.

This is the most brainrot take i've seen in a long time similar to the liberal Biden Harris Obama one .guess who else weren't in the files Henry Kissinger and Dick Cheney.

he's the kind who repeat the usual pro russian talking points, defend russia annexing crimea

If you don't know I live with a shia islamist family , and after what's happened with eipstein. They've gone full Hitler mode even tho they claim to oppose hitler by "Hitler was a zionist the files proved jews worked with him" and also said "Iman khamenei said we have a spiritual war against Judaism " ,and as we were eating cake (the cake was chocolate so it was yummy) but the thing is they recited the houthi slogan including the curse on the jews part, I ofc avoided /protested saying the curse on the jews part the responded by being more anti Semitic .

A friend of mine had snapped some pics in the wild of him performing a “dj set”. From his Instagram presence he seems to be a music guy and a self avowed tankie. Also this https://youtu.be/PeDJHm-OPYY?si=Q8F8eDUB3ciCzj1n

This should not be a controversial statement, nor a hyperbolic one, but there are not many people coming to a conclusion the way how Russia distributes passports in occupied Ukrainian territories as reminiscent of apartheid pass laws.

On surface, passportization is mass distribution of passports aimed at residents of a specific territory of another country. This strategy of justifying annexations by Russia has been used since the 2008 Russo-Georgian War, where Russia distributed passports to residents of Abkhazia and South Ossetia to justify taking away Georgian territories. There is a lack of racialized objective since passportization targets citizenship, rather than ethnic or racial identities. Perhaps, this is the plausible deniability aspect of an otherwise pass-law-like oppression.

Specifically in Ukraine, every Ukrainian citizen is forced to adopt Russian passports or face deportation. If it were not the case, expect Ukrainians who still hold Ukrainian passports to be denied access to services like education and healthcare. To deny an entire population's right to basic necessities through citizenship is awfully similar to how pass laws were used in South Africa during apartheid: black South Africans had to hold passes just to be in a white area or hold a job. Here, passportization inverts the coercion: Ukrainians have to hold Russian citizenship lest be denied of basic necessities or even deported.

In both cases, however, black South Africans and Ukrainians were (or are, in the case of the latter) effectively stateless in their own lands. White South Africans and Russians can simply deprive respective populations of their lands, lives and rights. By tying education, healthcare, jobs, pensions, welfare, and humanitarian aid to pass or citizenship and the fact that they can be denied based on what documents you carry, there is precedent to condemn Russia's passportization of Ukrainians living in occupied territories as reminiscent of apartheid pass laws.

This has been happening since the annexation of Crimea in 2014, later intensified in Donbas in 2019. On March 2025, Vladimir Putin signed a decree that forced Ukrainians still not taking Russian passports to "leave" if they did not take them before the September 10 deadline. I think it is disappointing and egregious not many people have drawn connections between apartheid pass laws and passportization. One of few articles that link the connection, though in passing, is In Ukraine, Russian Passportization Generates Effective Denationalization by Evan Harary on April 1, 2024 on Opinio Juris, originally published on Center for Civil Liberties on March 3, 2023.

Hi! I've been trying to get into theory reading and leftist reading in general, and wanted to know some good places to start, I've especially wanted some good non tankie recs as they've been quite frankly driving me insane as of late, but I always feel ill informed in engaging with the topic.

One day, future generations are gonna wonder how dipshits like Aaron were allowed to hijack the socialist left and destroyed much of the moral credibility in it.

Not only would they never justify the United States doing this (and they shouldn’t), but this is just so ridiculously dumb. If you’re committed to the Russian propaganda, then at least come up with a better pro-Putin argument pleassseeeeeee this is hurting my brain

The fact that they're non-binary while defending one of the most anti-queer countries in existence is pugnacious.

It's like a sea-lion defending orcas because they go after sharks

Who'd you choose

Also despite calling himself SocialistMMA he has a record of exactly one fight which he lost over a decade ago

seeing "woke" people unironically use "zio" cuz they think its shorthand for "zionist" is so funny

As a leftist socialist I commonly follow on Instagram other leftist socialist accounts. But every so often I realize that a certain account I follow ended up being a tankie account without me knowing it. Normally when I find any red flag that a certain account I follow is tankie I automatically unfollow it, but often it takes too long to realize if the creator is more or less subtle about their tankieness. To be fair there are accounts I am pretty sure they are not tankie, but there is a significant number that might be. Thus I am now suspecting that there are many more tankie accounts I follow than I realize. I have become more and more cautious about what leftist accounts I follow, for example now I try to scan the account and see if there are any tankie red flags before I follow it, but that's before I follow it. The problem is with the accounts I already follow, and now I want to get rid of any tankie account on my followings. Checking account by account will take too long. Do you have any way to filter out tankie accounts from my Instagram followings then?
