But Russia and China are not really communist. I don’t understand how they can support those two governments. Karl Marx would not see either of them as true communist.
Do you think he’s aware that their beloved Russians are bombing a country every day for few years now…? But I guess that’s fine for people like him, because obviously - Ukrainians are bad because they’re supported by the “Satan West”.
thats antiyanks, our beloved mascot. he’s created roughly 4k accounts I think? He’s legitimately crazy, fortunately he’s not a tankie though, just a nutter
You’re close. Tankies are supportive of anything that lines up with the state-sponsored propaganda they consume.
They might “think” Trump will at least bring peace, during the election as a reason to not oppose him. They might hate Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, but love particular Russian-aligned US politicians who are ten times more “problematic” or pro-empire than those ones (or other particular ones they also do extensive hand-wringing about.) It’s why they all support Maduro, it’s why they hate Ukraine but support Palestine, it’s why they love software like Lemmy but hate software like Wikipedia, it’s why they are worried about green energy in Europe which isn’t “practical” but also hate Biden because he didn’t support clean energy enough, and so on and so on. Their collection of anecdotes and arguments is pretty much a perfect match for the Russian disinfo machine and there is literally no other thought process I can come up with that arrives at such a specific and self-contradictory assemblage of stances.
They’re just dim enough to get taken in. What proportion of them are true disinfo posters, and what proportion are genuine people who are simply dim enough to get fooled and so self-select themselves into the community, I have no idea, although I would love to be able to find out somehow.
Tankies are supportive of trump since they believe that trump will bring the end of the US so Russia and China can swoop in as global powers

They want you to think they’re leftists, but they’re just cosplaying.

That user has been through hundreds upon hundreds of accounts doing exactly that for well over a year. They’re not mentally stable.
