The presumes that tankies are not actually just right wing trolls trying to divide the left via extremism.
Nah, they look similar because they're both people very emotionally and tribalistically (as there's quite an element of feeling part of a group in it) wedded to an ideological bundle of pre-baked ideas they took in as "undeniable truths" and do not in any way challenge with rationality and skepticism.
Both have the same way of thinking and relating to politics but tankies have adopted one ideological bundle of pre-baked ideas and modern day "conservatives" (I use quotes because they really don't do conservation of much) adopted a different ideological bundle of pre-baked ideas.
Mind you, they're just extreme cases of people whose relationship with politics runs along the very same behavioural lines as sports club fans. For example, here in Lemmy you often spot Democrat Party fans, which you can spot by their "the figures of the party can do no wrong" posture and similar, in contrast with, say, people who might have voted for the party for tactical or strategical reasons but don't just take every word of their propaganda as undeniable truth.
I live in a country with a lot more political parties than the US and am even a member of a small party here, and you see that kind of mindset in al parties party and from my own experience I would even say that mindless unquestioning fans are majority of party members.
Nah, most tankies really are that dumb.
I mean I agree. But, that doesnt preclude the possibility that there are right wing instigators and trolls on here trying to sow division.
They always seem to toe that line.
