Redditors struggling to understand words citing a red-brown alliance stan lmao. They have no idea where to even start thinking about this so they just fixate on the word, "tankie" and the contradiction of Imperialist narratives and successfully leave the cognitive dissonance behind.
Both the division of Korea and establishment of Taiwan are examples of the US carving out its own occupied zones to encircle China and the then-USSR, preventing internal fighting - literal civil wars - from resolving on its own terms.
Imagine if Spain popped in to prevent the end of the US civil war by militarily supporting Florida as the confederacy and then 70 years later everyone says, "yeah how dare America claim Florida! Confederate pride!" due to decades of Spanish propaganda. All the while, the main confederate legacy party still claims the entire continental US and Canada as their rightful territory and liberals call anyone that disagrees a yankie (epithet) and gets boosted in social media.

It seems counterproductive to just post rage bait about perspectives you don't understand. I don't fully agree with this guy on a number of levels, though the lib-authored format that treats countries as people is really the biggest problem with it, but either way you're just pandering to people's prejudices with how you've approached it.
If someone with the username "Proud Anarkiddy" tweeted about how anarchism is all about some cringey nonsense, would you post a screenshot of that? Hell, it doesn't even have to be political: if "StarWarzNerd69" tweeted about Star Trek fans being basement-dwelling virgins, I'd ignore the obvious troll bait.
That persons following list is just whiplash. Absolute clown.
