In this episode of 1Dime Radio, Tony of 1Dime is joined by JT Chapman, the creator behind @SecondThought the largest socialist YouTube channel at the moment, and The Deprogram Podcast (@thedeprogram9999 ). JT and I discuss the experiences and challenges in producing independent media, the importance of optics, and what Socialism in America could look like.
Second thought the tankie?
This is the whole of Lemmy distilled into one comment.
Hahaha true. I try to avoid some of the drama but I just think this guy has way more influence than he deserves given the shallow and inaccurate nature of his videos.
The only people who use “tankie” as a pejorative are almost exclusively shallow and inaccurate.
What do you call them then?
People who tend to be right too early.
Almost completely backwards. These are people who are wrong far too late. It is shameful to defend mass-murder decades after it has been unequivocally proven by historians.
Which events are you talking about?
In my experience, people just apply the tankie label to those who don’t go along with the media story. Even when the tankies are pointing to source information.
