Tankies are the kind of people who would definitely sell their soul for Trump if they had read another single blog post few years ago.
Many of them may still do that anyway.
Conservatives don’t agree with things. Conservatives agree with people.
And tankies are conservatives. It’s not a political ideology. They’re tribalists whose chosen ingroup is anyone doing leftist signalling. Same pattern of behavior as screeching for liberty and freedom while installing a king.
SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS
Fuck tankies.
Tankies have been anti-NATO since 1949. It has nothing to do with the Red v. Blue spectacle.
And they oppose NATO because they supported Soviet imperialism.
So if and when the US is no longer a member of NATO, the Tankies will openly support Trump?
A lot of them already openly support Trump and promoted him actively on Hexbear and Lemmygrad before the election.
No. Why would we?
Am I missing something? Aren’t tankies just ancap? Also what is Trump saying that is anti capitalism?
AnCaps are idiots that accept the Austrian school of economics.
Tankies are in general poorly educated leftists with limitied logical processing skills.
Tankies supposedly oppose capitalism, and they only support anarchism when it’s in the West.
The term is derived from those who sided with the tanks when the USSR rolled into towns and later when the CCP sent the military on their own citizens during an event that resulted in millions of deaths across their nation. You know, “communists” but without any power in the hands of the workers.
Tankies are Russian and Chinese imperialists. They hate America for its imperialism, but love Russia and China for theirs. They’re also very pro-genocide while simultaneously denying genocides.
AnCaps want a stateless society, but it is a misdirection to install neo-feudalism. For some reason they believe they’ll be on top.
I guess my question is more, what is Trump saying that is the same as Tankies? Trump isn’t anti Capitalist.
Both spread Russian propaganda.
Examples - Ukraine started the war. Putin is not a dictator. Western/NATO expansion is aggressive encroachment and Russia has a sovereign duty to defend itself.
This last one is funny considering Russia no longer controls those territories and Russia themselves are the invaders.
Putin is definitely a dictator who started the war, and invaded Ukraine.
But doesn’t every country have the right to defend itself? (Not that Russia is ‘defending itself’ in this case)
But doesn’t every country have the right to defend itself? (Not that Russia is ‘defending itself’ in this case)
I don’t know why you’re asking a question that you answered. Yes they do, but that’s not what Russia is doing. That’s their excuse and it makes no sense. Ukraine has a right to defend itself. Russia is invading.
Ancap is anarcho-capitalism, e.g. screw the government, stateless society where capitalism is king. Not entirely the tankie viewpoint.
“Not even close, babyyyyyyy.” They might claim some different underlying beliefs, but in practice, just like Libertarians, they’re just conservatives trying to hide the fact that they’re conservatives by cosplaying as other groups.
Anything’s possible when you make shit up kiddo
Tankie punks fuck off!
Lol no
Lol get banned then whatever
Edit: account was created yesterday and 8 of the total 11 comments are in this thread stirring shit. Lol indeed. Lmao, even.
Congrats, you can count! I’m genuinely surprised
Still nothing of value to say and your literacy is incredibly poor. Must be very young.
Nah some dipshits back Russian imperialism like their forefathers backed Soviet imperialism. Thus there are tankies who agree with Trump vis a vis Ukraine even if they disagree on when and whom it is ok to be racist towards.
Cool story
Guys check out how erudite this tankie is.
Anecdotal evidence warrants no erudition
Wow, it took you two hours to thesaurus your way into an asinine statement. You don’t even know what anecdotal means!
I have work to do, you’re not a priority. I used the word anecdotal correctly, if you’re confused it’s because you’re illiterate
You did not use it correctly. At all. Russian imperialism and the poor positioning of tankies is well documented. It is not anecdotal. Absolutely braindead.
And I seriously doubt you have any real work to do at such a young age.
You can find people on some instances that feel Russia had a right to resist Western encroachment in their border which ignores the whole invading bit.
Cool story
Jesus H Christ you have absolutely nothing of value to say.
I mean I get it, English as a second language is really hard, right comrade?
Lol everyone who disagrees with you must be a russian and/or bot, you’re definitely a liberal
replies nothing but “cool story”
“EVeryONe WhO diSagrEEs”
You’re the first lowlife I have called a propagandist. The shoe fits.
In Tankie Lemmy, shit kiddo up make you
What a protocol!
Sounds fun

The irony of a tankie saying I have an incoherent political philosophy. Lmao I must be talking to a 20 year old or a propagandist. You genuinely know nothing.
It is egalitarianISM by the way. You can’t even speak properly.
If all you’re going to do is troll and be rude, kindly gtfo.
