Just a little friendly compromise, what could go wrong?

I said 'buy into tankie talking points'. The point isn't that the 10% (itself just a random number, of course) are tankies, but that 10% are influenced by the shite that tankies spread.
Although I would emphasize that there is a certain percentage of people who are batshit insane on any given issue, and some 10% of Americans are tolerant of fascism. 10% of Gen Z going tankie instead doesn't seem that far-fetched to me.
This is true, but as mentioned, it's not even about them, specifically - but what effects they have on discourse.
Yeah, if I was in charge of a NGO dedicated to combating misinformation or something I wouldn't be dedicating many resources to tankies specifically.
Support for Ukraine increases by 2%-3% points as a very loud (as you note) minority is no longer amplifying misinformation and propaganda under the guise of combating the absolutely fucked state of our society.
I'm glad my posting offers you some relief! I like to remind myself now and again that most people on here are sensible sorts.
