I get this is the silliest thing to be concerned about right now with everything going on, but it does feel like the hawks scored a point here in the market place of ideas. Trying to add any context to the shitty situation in Eastern Europe is gonna come off as Putin apologia. I feel like it used to be a bit easier to pill Libs on being anti-war by putting to the USs fuck. But now that a country the hawks hated did a thing they predicted he’d do, well…

    Already happening.

    I saw people in the fucking BRAZILIAN subreddit complaining about "tankies supporting China and Russia". First time I have ever seen a brazilian use the word "tankie"

      dude, r/brasil is full of bougie libs. Anyone sane does not spend their time on fucking reddit, especially if you have to first learn english to share racist memes with yanks

        Yeah, I knew it was a hopelessly lib sub, I just didn't expect to see someone blaming "tankies" for this conflict. It's much worse than I thought :deeper-sadness:

      How did the state department people and suspiciously state department-minded people discover the word tankie?

        Yeah, PT (Worker's Party) Senators condemned NATO aswell, then 5 minutes later deleted the note from the website and Twitter :(

        But I understand, it's an extremely unpopular view and they're just gonna lose votes with that for no material gain
