You should change it to tankies instead of leftists.

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 20 points 7 months ago

Unfortunately, as people in this thread show, even non-tankie leftists can be sucked in by Russian talking points.

Do you ever punch to your right? You claim to be so far left but only punch left.

[-] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 4 points 7 months ago

I’m reading a different thread than you then.

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Best separate them to help out.

[-] hark@lemmy.world 16 points 7 months ago

Nah, the mask is off. It's clear that a lot of people who are obsessed with tankies just hate the left in general and use tankies as a proxy.

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 28 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

The point is it's tankies (and Trumpers) that defend Russia, not people on the left side of the spectrum.

OP should, but the entire reason he posted it was to pretend that anyone to his left is a Russian sympathizer, and to try to discredit anyone who opposes genocide elsewhere.

And for the record, fuck Putin and fuck Russia.

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 24 points 7 months ago

OP should,

Oh, so now you're in favor of me calling people tankies? Curious, because you've repeatedly complained when the label is applied. Almost like this is agreeing with someone in bad faith.

But of course, you would never do that, right? :)

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

Why, it's almost as though you call everyone to your left tankies regardless of their actual politics.

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 21 points 7 months ago

lmao, sorry for having respect for anarchists and my fellow demsocs but not red-painted fascist fucks.

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

I've also found ensign crab will speak in such round about ways that you have no idea what he's saying, and then he can take either position depending how it goes.
