    Anyone crying about nato and specifically citing the ukrainian azov battalion. Is almost certainly a Russian Z Nazi or supporter of them. It’s an easy way to identify them since it’s an oddly specific combonation of groups to hate.

    And for the record. Azov never would have existed if russia didn’t start a war against Ukraine in 2014… eat me

      OK. But nobody invoking them now is all that concerned with that.

      Personally I got a kick out of Gravel Institute posting a video about Nazis in the Ukraine military talking about Azov shortly before Russia attacked in 2022, and then pulling it down shortly afterward because more or less their exact point was now considered to be Russian far right propaganda. Just such a beautiful example of how things like that can change.

      Their answer from my last interaction:

      -western propaganda

      -uyghurs themselves love it

      -not forced labour but a vocational school the government put these people under

      -amnesty and UN is lying and unreliable

      -only reliable source is the blogpost they linked

      -it’s all anti terrorism effort

      -western propaganda

    From the title of that post, I’m getting hella “the right can’t meme” vibes (but it’s also just fucked up grammatically so maybe that’s throwing me off). But at the same time I’m getting tankie vibes from the “what you hope for” side of the meme…

      During that era everyone was homophobic. Though the self proclaimed allies of today are a larger threat to our existence than those that openly hate us.

      I feel dumb. What’s below Israel’s flag?

      One of multiple flags representing terrorism

      Tankie, definitely.

    Same as on reddit.

    I lived happily oblivious of the existence of tankies until I randomly said I was voting for a democratic politician in r/latestagecapitalism.

      Yeah, the fact that they’re all so anti-voting and/or “both sides”-y is why I think the root of most of the tankies’ thinking is Chinese propaganda. Like, just because you vote for someone doesn’t mean you are 100% aligned with everything they say. Or even 50% of it. Just means you’re more aligned with them than the other option. The only people who could possibly benefit from such a stupid mode of thought are part of authoritarian governments.

        Yep. I nearly disagree as much with a democrat as a republican.

        But pragmatically, I prefer that trans people and disabled people aren’t literally eradicated, and whether 1% or 50% of the population turn out, the election still stands so I’ll be voting.

        That doesn’t mean I don’t do other things in a more revolutionary spirit, but I think it’s dumb not to vote.
