What’s your definition of “tankie”? If you’re willing to call out Putin’s homophobic journalist murdering authoritarian bullshit and the Chinese government’s massacring of protesters and genociding of ethnic minorities you’re not a tankie imo, you’re just a communist.
call out Putin’s homophobic journalist murdering authoritarian bullshit
The US isn’t nearly as far away from any of that as liberals like to believe.
Why is the litmus test for Tankie-ism picking sides in a civil war on the other side of the globe, while governors and senators from my home state seem giddy about imposing Putin’s policies in my backyard?
You’re pro-Putin if you don’t scream Slava Ukraine loud enough. You’re pro-CCP if you don’t cheer for American destroyers every time they sail the straight of Taiwan. You’re pro-Taliban if you’re relieved to see a 21 year long brutal occupation come to an end.
the Chinese government’s massacring of protesters and genociding of ethnic minorities
Westerners slaughtered hundreds of thousands of Iraqis for decades on end, and it was fine because we labeled them all terrorists.
We wrote country music songs celebrating the fact. We played those songs at the fucking Super Bowl while millions cheered.
But when a leftist says “Stop doing these wars! The wars are bad!” the blood drenched finger of the liberal finally finds a place to point and condemn genocide denial.

Incredible.
No, it wasn’t fine, that’s kinda the point… It isn’t fine when the west does it, it’s not fine when others do it too…
I’m confused on your point.
well some people who are called “tankies” do. some of them are just rabid bhreznevites
What year do you think it is?
