Dunking on Tankies from a leftist perspective.
A tankie is someone who defends/supports authoritarian or even totalitarian regimes who call themselves "socialist". The term originated from people supporting the 1956 invasion of Hungary by the Soviet Union. Nowadays they are just terminally online, denying genocides, and falling for totalitarian propaganda and calling such regimes "true democracies". remember to censor usernames when necessary.

I mean… unironicly, is this where horseshoe theory comes from?
Other way around - stethoscope theory was made in response to horseshoe theory.
This is surprisingly funny for satire, which I hope it is.
One hopes, but the depths of mankind's stupidity never ceases to amaze...
I remind you that InfraHaz and his schtick exist. At least TheYankeeTankie is now an unironic fash.
What the actual fuck
That's gotta be a prank, right? Right??
Too articulated to be real. If this were written like a Trump tweet* it would be more realistic. *more: SAD! ALL CAPS! misspelings and run on rambling
idk, tankies are generally pretty capable of being verbose. I wouldn't count it out.
For real, every time they post something it feels like they're trying to hit a word count for a paper they are over-due for.
It's like they pull up ChatCCP at 11:38pm the night it's due and tell it to write them a 2000-word essay about "how the didactic materialism of imperial hegemony irrevocably leads to bourgeois exploitation of the Global South".
I’m going to choose to believe that, my brain refuses to compute this as real without an aneurysm
The Northern bankers
Why do I get the feeling he's using bankers to stand in for a different group...
