If you’re out here everyday arguing Tankies are Fascists, then it is a bit curious you’d make something where 80,001 fascists are protrayed and the one fascist that actively doesn’t vote for fascism, the tankie, is considered the problem.
Out of all the 80,001 fascists: this one chose to abstain from voting for fascism. That one deserves the scrutiny, the criticism, the exorication, because…
Because tankies pretend, and try to convince others, that they aren’t fascists, and that helping fascism along is actually fighting fascism.
Conservatives rarely tell you that they AREN’T trying to get Donald Trump in the White House so he can Make America Great Again. Tankies often claim that, despite working towards that goal.
I don’t give a fuck about what fascist tankies themselves do, they’re a lost cause, busy sucking off dictators because “Murder of Muslims and LGBT folk is BASED when you do it under a red flag!” I do give a fuck about their messaging being loudly and repeatedly parroted like Republicans in 2004 crying “RAISE THE TERROR ALERT” like it fucking meant something.
Meme illiteracy is a terrible plague

Expressly not caring what fascists actually do so long as their messaging is quiet is… definitely a tied and true strategy.
That’s unsurprising, considering you take every opportunity you can to amplify fascist propaganda.
I mean, yeah engagement on these topics only adds to the kafkaesque noise trying to be stirred up. The counterproductivity is too real.
