    I too am intrigued why tankies would support islamic fundamentalists murdering leftist french journalists… Doesn’t add up… My only guess (beyond the general mental illness tankies display) is that French colonialism fucked up cultures around the world for centuries — across south America, Africa, and Asia — and they still hold political and military control over a few of them… But why cheer islamic terrorism? Why cheer the murder of leftist journos?

      Tankies are very simple things. They operate by US bad

      If something, like jihadists, says the US is bad, then the Tankies will support them.

      until…

      I also am not allowed to link to the content. I also don’t link to it because then they can edit or change the content.

      They are reacting to this comic from ‘Liberation’ newspaper last year about the genocide in Gaza during Ramadan:

      The woman in a hijab is slapping the hand of an emaciated Gazan chasing after a rat, presumably to catch and eat it, and saying “Not before sunset”

      They’re leftists but not the right kind of leftists. That makes them deserving of being murdered in the tankies’ eyes.
