      Tankies are funny in the way that they manage to be simultaneously extreme left and extreme right

        Back when it was on reddit the politics of chapostraphouse pretty much confused the fuck out of me. This image here is a good example. Nobody who is “left” or even “lib” would think that trump is anything but a lying criminal fascist douchebag, and would strongly question his motives for “ending the Korean war”, which seemed to be clumsily attempting to cozy up to a brutal dictator who he admired. So what are they talking about? Who knows. I don’t think they really know.

        Red fash. Just the far-right with a coat of red paint. The difference between Stalinists and Strasserists is mostly just the level of racism.

            Frighteningly often. I have some tankie memes I have saved displaying their antisemitism, for whenever I forget that they’re shitheads on all fronts, not just a few. They’re… not pretty.
