All while posting in a community that uses China, a historically and modern-day imperialist country as its icon. Irony is dead.

    It’s not even both side bad. Fuck colonial Russia, fuck the Hamas butchers that wouldn’t waste a breath before slitting the throats of anyone that leftists support.

    Why the fuck are these people supporting these absolute scum that stand against any progressive ideals.

      Their whole ideology revolves around owning the “Ameritards”, even if it means preaching trans rights while simping violently homophobic far-right authoritarian regimes like ruzzia and hamas.

        I have seen progressives in general become so anti-American that they start shilling for blatantly far right talking points. Claiming that the Japanese internment camps were “concentration camps” because it fits the technical definition is a classic example. It’s literally a Holocaust denial through trivialization/moral equivalency tactic that the far right loves.

          Yeah, as a Washington state resident I’m vividly aware of my state’s racist treatment of its large Japanese minority during WW2, but “concentration camps” is an exaggeration for sure, and does a huge disservice to the Holocaust victims, Uyghurs, and the indigenous children in those old Canadian and American “boarding schools”; now THOSE are/were concentration camps.

    Literally the only consistency in their worldview is that it has nothing to do with communism.

    There’s no such thing as an educated tankie. They are, like the fascists they detest, a collection of the stupid and easily mislead.

      I wouldn’t say uneducated, rather they simply have no real world experience. Fascists and tankies inevitably include a lot of young, angry, neckbeard incels who have a lot of misplaced anger from within their own personal lives. None of them have ever seen anything like the types of polices they call for IRL, so it’s easy for them to talk real big. In reality if they ever saw the types of policies they call for acted out in front of them or at the slightest chance of those polices happening to them, they’d very quickly fold and recant everything.

      They like to imagine in their heads that they’d be one of the ones on top. In such a society, even the people with authority are under a lot of control and they’re expected to be draconian.

        No, they are tankies. They are both dumb but at least tankies have a theoretically positive goal.

          Every extremist, from religious nutters to neo-nazis to tankies, all believe they have a positive goal. As for your fascist comments, they have proven themselves to be fascist when it comes to particular countries, see here

    when the people saying “No war but class war” are insufficiently Communist for your tastes because they don’t support an oligarchic capitalist imperialist state invading another capitalist state

    Insane.

      It’s funny - actual leftists schism like crazy, because they care about policy. Tankies never schism, because it’s only about the sense of community.

        Same thing with the MAGA people. There’s no actual principles, just an aesthetic and vibes.

    Fucking Bougeyevik Hamasaboos

    I’ve been learning Sham dialect to be more in tune with my grandfather’s culture, and these assholes make me feel like some sick fetish for them to wack off to for even stepping that far into being Palestinian.
