Dunking on Tankies from a leftist perspective.
A tankie is someone who defends/supports authoritarian or even totalitarian regimes who call themselves "socialist". The term originated from people supporting the 1956 invasion of Hungary by the Soviet Union. Nowadays they are just terminally online, denying genocides, and falling for totalitarian propaganda and calling such regimes "true democracies". remember to censor usernames when necessary.

Can someone explain to this european from a former soviet block why tankies think Russia is aligned with their worldview?
I mean, soviet union about 60s maybe still was, but after that, and especially after the fall of USSR it's a mafia-ran state, not a socialist paradise.
What is going on?
America bad. America hate Russia. Russia good.
This is it exactly. There is absolutely zero room for nuance in the tankie brain.
They're fucking idiots.
The soviet union has been on the side of the left and communism for about minutes before Lenin and friends decided that worker power would threaten their power too much.
Maybe they should move to ruzzia. They have all the propaganda they could ever eat there
unfortunately russia is extremely hostile to lgbtq
Good Job EU!
Please be sure to censor usernames in the future, we do not want to dox individual tankies.
The only thing I remember from Sputnik news is an article discussing how Baltic countries will be divided into people's republics and "International Economic Polygons".
