    I’ve seen some incredibly stupid Tankie takes around here, but this might be the most completely dissassociated, idiotic trash I have ever seen come out of any of their mouths. It is the picture of “our heroic adventurers; their british invadwrs” meme.

    “Both Imperialist genocides were bad.” “We elevated the native peoples (when we destroyed their cultures and killed anyone who resisted); you’re denying genocide.”

    Anyone who reads that comment and doesn’t immediately smell the hypocritical bullshit needs help, either developing critical thinking skills, or getting away from the brainwashing they’ve consumed.

      The most important thing to note about Tankies is that they are unapologetically authoritarians, they operate entirely on a strongman principle. They will never question themselves or their strongmen. this is why they’re sometimes called red fash, since they’re really not that different from fascists.
