Tankie is rapidly transforming to mean simply anti-imperialist. You get called a tankie literally just for begging the government to stop making tanks.
anti-imperialist
Ha I wish, anti-tankie hot takes usually comes bundled with "Russia and China are also imperialist" by default these days.
Lenin's revolutionary defeatism could make for some good meme ideas with this. 'Tankies' asking for peace negotiations while NATO keeps sending weapons, that sort of thing.
More Chinese people approve of their government than do Americans, by a large margin
During the cold war, the anticommunist ideological framework could transform any data about existing communist societies into hostile evidence. If the Soviets refused to negotiate a point, they were intransigent and belligerent; if they appeared willing to make concessions, this was but a skillful ploy to put us off our guard. By opposing arms limitations, they would have demonstrated their aggressive intent; but when in fact they supported most armament treaties, it was because they were mendacious and manipulative. If the churches in the USSR were empty, this demonstrated that religion was suppressed; but if the churches were full, this meant the people were rejecting the regime's atheistic ideology. If the workers went on strike (as happened on infrequent occasions), this was evidence of their alienation from the collectivist system; if they didn't go on strike, this was because they were intimidated and lacked freedom. A scarcity of consumer goods demonstrated the failure of the economic system; an improvement in consumer supplies meant only that the leaders were attempting to placate a restive population and so maintain a firmer hold over them.

:frothingfash: That Putin, he is one big time socialist. Trust me, I would know from experience
:debord-tired: No you wouldn't
:frothingfash: Well not me personally, but a tankie I know. Them and Putin GOT. IT. ON
:debord-tired: No they didn't
:frothingfash: Well no... no they didn't. But you can imagine what it would be like if they did
I don't think this is particularly new either, liberalism is just a version of the narcissist prayer, always has been.
lib: Go vote it is the most important bla bla.
me: it wont solve anything and they are not honest in the first place
lib: ok maybe they it didn't solve anything before but this time.
me: :gigachad:
lib: ok maybe it didn't solve anything and they weren't honest but it is still important for democracy.
me: :gigachad:
lib: ok maybe it usualy doesn't solve anything, maybe they are usualy corrupt and dishonest, maybe our democracy is flawed but it is for our own good if we don't have elections what are we going to become? Bad country? There Is No Alternative!

Stupid leftist westerners think socialism in Russia and China is SOOOOO great
-
Not that I think Russia is Socialist
-
And, yes, nobody I know to the left of me thinks that either
-
But someone definitely thinks it. You know what kind of people I'm talking about... :tankie:
-
So, anyway, what I was saying is that NATO needs to send more tanks into Eastern Europe.
Just a perfectly closed loop. Brains smooth as butter.

I mean I really believe what the Ukrainians say, that Azov has no Nazi members any more at all, in spite being founded as a far-right militia. However, as a German who hates Nazis I would like to see less of that kind of symbolism. Simply to avoid the controversy, it doesn´t lead to anything.
:landlord-spotted:
the lack of executions following the transition from francoism really do be showing
No no. Not like last time. This is totally different. This time they're Good Guys, we promise. Moderate Rebels. You people just don't understand.
most of these problems can be solved with :took-restraint:
None of these guys look like they'd be put in a concentration camp by Nazis. Nope. Not one
