      An authoritarian self-proclaimed ‘leftist’ who loudly decries anything that’s not 100% in-line with their desires as ‘shitlib’ policy that must be opposed even at the cost of ushering in actual fascism. This actual fascism is also often described by tankies as ‘not that bad’ or ‘the exact same’ as the ‘shitlib’ policies they oppose. Dissenters are inevitably reactionaries who must be (often literally) crushed, as they don’t reflect the TRUE will of the people (ie whatever the opinion of the tankie is).

        As opposed to the liberals who decry anything to their left as tanky?

          Thanks for not disagreeing with the description, it’s nice to know that others can see it too.

            Oh look over there, a mile to your left! It’s the point you missed.

        The issue here is that Dems also go to the fascist state, they just always do it a bit slower to still be selected because “at least they are not THAT bad”.

        The question is, at what point should they learn a lesson to revise their playbooks and stop the corruption and enshittification? What should that lesson be? Could voting them out push them to pursue a more fair policy that actually caters to the needs of the people?

        Wrong. They love and support Russia, China and N-Korea for some weird reason

          Those countries are 100% in-line with their desires, though.

            Yeah but I think the other comment made it sound like tankies actually had desires apart from whatever Papa Putin tell him to do. They don’t.

        Spent all day on this thread insulting people and trying to be a smartass. As if that is going to change anyone’s mind. What an absolute tool.
