I made the mistake of balking at some particularly unhinged Ukraine/Russia rhetoric offline yesterday and got called a vatnik, a tankie, a Russia lover and I was even suspected of being pro-Israel and apparently a nazbol Aimee Therese follower or something

I'm not even invested in this shit, I just find the insane saber-rattling and warmongering unsettling desolate

When someone tells you Putler's going to invade Estonia, Poland and Finland for Lebensraum next if he's not stopped in Ukraine, just nod your head solemnly

    You got called a tankie IRL? That's so fucking funny, who were you even talking to? some Vaush horse enjoyer?

    I would love to be called a tankie irl instead of having to debunk "Oh Israel is a ethnostate but they're a lot of ethnostates in the world and they don't get any flack" over and over again.
