Yep.
Fastest way to get banned there is to give valid criticism of China or Russia.
One of the Tankiest of tankie instances
Why do tankies stan for Russia? Nostalgia?
Because no likey da Americans
These morons think Iran is a bastion of anti-colonial resistance
Iran
The theocracy
The successor state to one of the longest running imperial projects in human history
The state currently organizing proxies to destabilize it's neighbors with the intention of letting a puppet state take all of it for integration within it's sphere of influence
That Iran.
Tankies have no values and even fewer brain cells.
I wonder where they're all from? Are they living in the US?
A few are Canadians who think letting the prairie provinces have nice things will lead to the second war of 1812, but yeah, they're almost always bougie US kids. Why I always call them Bougyeviks.
All the ideology, none of the actual connection to the people who need the most help
Tankies love fascist dictatorships. That's their whole shtick.
Yep, this.
They are convinced they are gonna be part of the ruling class, So they fucking love fascist authoritarian dictatorship.
The overwhelming irony is that they would most likely be the ones purged, not the ones ruling.
Sow disinformation about the west, erode tust.
Now, bear in mind I'm acutely aware of the strengths of china, and the failings of the us, but when the 300lb gorilla is in your backyard eyeing your kids, you get involved with the gorilla, and keep and eye on what is happening in office politics and in the neighbours yard.
Because there are reactionaries. It’s like PETA or angry vegans who are in it for the moral superiority rather than making the world a better place.
Inability to hold nominally conflicting ideas. You can be a socialist and be against the actions of countries that claim to be socialist. Likewise you can be capitalist and be against the actions of countries that claim to be capitalist.
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend."
Isn't that the developer instance? Are the developers tanki communists? (I don't believe a real communist would want to support china OR russia since they aren't actually communists)
