    Tankies operate on a very simple premise… US bad

    Now that you have the basis of Tankie ideology (it does not go any deeper than this), you can move on to the next part of Tankie ideology.

    If something hates the US, then that something is now good.

    The oligarchical Russia where women and queers are regularly degraded? Russia good.

    The hypercapitalistic China which has actual child labour and mass surveilance? China good.

    The Islamic Terrorists who consider Tankie’s as abominations and will actually kill them? Hamas good.

    These people operate on a very black-and-white level. They are quite incapable of seeing nuance or considering the complexities of politics and society. Thankfully, they are also children and will grow out of their ignorance when they get a life.

      I was going to up vote until you said they will grow out of their ignorance. Pressing x to doubt but y to hope I’m wrong
