You see, the joke is sex. That makes it funny.

Incorrect. It’s not about the fact that they’re communists. Rather, it’s about their strict nationalistic feelings towards Russia and China. They claim that these regimes are communist (which is incorrect), and thus support any action by these nations. They enable and overlook oppressive actions commited by them, while being quick to point out the oppressive actions of the other countries (which are openly capitalist).

I’ve seen many tankies debate with other people, and they frequently employ tactics used by conspiracy theorists, such as selectively accepting sources, and denouncing everything else as propoganda. I’ve even seen a tankie denounce a news outlet, then use the same outlet in the same thread to argue their point.

I say this as someone who finds Marxism appealing, by the way. So I am in no way (as far as I can tell) biased against these people.

wait, what?

To the tankies: please don’t spread across more instances. I prefer that y’all stay easy-to-block.

“Art of the Steal”

A chef is not skilled according to economics. However, “skill” as used in common literature and speech, still applies to these uncertified chefs.

From the country I’m from, you can open your own small restaurant without any qualifications.

Yes, I’m afraid to dine out when I return there during vacations.

it means it’s a job that almost anyone can do

Not exactly. Unskilled labor simply refers to jobs that do not require a formal certification. There are many economically unskilled jobs that require a high amount of expertise. One such example is often a chef (specifically, the ones which don’t have formal culinary education).

Chefs need to have a deep understanding of food preparation techniques, flavor profiles, food safety, menu planning, and the ability to work quickly and efficiently in a high-pressure environment. It is a demanding job that few people can do. Yet, according to economics, these people would be unskilled.

Personally, part of me believes that people shouldn’t nitpick the percieved inaccuracy of jargon based upon the usage of words in common parlance.

The other part of me wishes that the experts would have chosen a less polarizing term with more neutral connotations.
