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.”

    The irony of the use in respect to Ukraine is that they’re calling anyone not wanting to send tanks a tankie.

      That’s not ironic, because they’re not calling for the tanks to crush innocent people but to stop imperialist invaders.

        As long as someone else gets drafted to die in the trenches, right?

        You’re either disingenuous or beyond naive about ethnic and nationalistic conflict.

          How about Russia doesn’t invade Ukraine and no one has to get fucking drafted.

          Tankies love imperialism, it’s sickening how willing you are to throw innocent lives away.

            Yeah, I’m not a tankie, my little chickenhawk. Just an actual communist who understands “no war but class war”. But I guess cheering on more troops into the grinder seems fine to you from far away.

              Good than you understand lending critical support to the people of Ukraine in their valiant struggle against Russian imperialism.

              It’s laughable how some people say Ukraine should not be defended, but never say Russia should stop invading.

                You’re not giving critical support to the people. You’re giving it to the government.

                You want to go support that war, they’re looking for volunteers, my little chickenhawk. Why don’t you go relieve a conscript, since you think the struggle is so important?

                  Such a tankie.

                  Tell me genius, what would happen to the people if they do not resist Russia? A country who is literally engaged in genocide against them.

                  You do not give a shit about the people of Ukraine, you are a reactionary chud who would see them die rather than support them fighting because America bad.

                    So, you’re not heading out the help them then, my little chickenhawk? You claiming it’s genocide makes your cowardice worse, not better.

                    Easy enough to decide the territorial integrity of Ukraine is worth other people being conscripted to die from your couch, I guess.

                    As for your name calling, it’s pretty funny to call a Titoist a tankie, while you take sides in ethnic conflicts. But I’m sure the history is wasted on you.

                    Because America bad

                    The US is bad, my little “anarchist”. Maybe you should focus more on the genocides and imperialism your taxes are paying for .
