      He’s not a Maoist he just uses the aesthetic while doing cig and beer reviews

      MLMs are generally pro-Ukrainian natlib and do not support the idea of critical support for modern Russia. Most of them also understand that "tankie" includes them but I figure this one is so distracted by MLM vs ML infighting (or, since its twitter, MLM vs patsoc fighting lmao, since there are like 5 actual MLs on that platform) that he wants to seperate themself from the word tankie and say "no tankies is people with the ML stance on the Ukraine War".

        Are you sure he actually is a Maoist? I always got the impression this dude is as much of a Maoist as your average band kid who blasts the Soviet Anthem in the school bus is a Stalinist.
