    I’m not going to try to read on your ideology, but I think you’re missing why people dislike tankies.

    It’s not that they are against NATO, Israel, US, Ukraine… Or that they support Russia, China…

    The problems are two:

    1. Absolute belief that the world is black and white, and that their side is a paragon of virtue and quality of life, and human rights… Any and all criticism is “western propaganda”. This means anything they can’t deny is the others side fault “Zelensky is to blame for defending” and “Israel is to blame for attacking”.

    2. Beyond just “excusing” the atrocities, they love them. Anybody who opposes them is a valid target. They might rationalize it in some cases, but in the end there are no innocent civilians unless they support them.

    Edit: I’ve seem to have hurt some tankies feelings. Good.
