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.”

    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.

          Nah dear, the horseshoe nonsense is something you seem to be partial to. “Tankies”, not so much.
