      It’s clearly an ideology as well, which is what I was addressing. (Ideology/idolize)

          Two things can be true. By my word choice it is clear that “absolutely not” was directed at “ideology”.

          Edit How is it not? People believe in the actions of authoritarians larping as leftists. They further idolize their personalities.

            That’s not an ideology though, that’s just you saying “they like people who I think are bad.” That’s like calling “woke” an ideology.

              An ideology is defined as “a system of ideas and ideals, especially one which forms the basis of economic or political theory and policy.”

              As such, believing in, supporting the behavior of autocratic regimes, and their perverse, fucked up zombified corpse of a true leftist community is an ideology.

                  I didn’t invent the definition. They BELIEVE it’s ok to do the things autocrats do. It’s not a side effect or byproduct.

                    Ok, but that’s hopelessly vague, anyone who supports anyone a person anyone considered an autocrat has the same ideology? So Lincoln supporters are tankies, Nelson Mandela supporters are tankies, Martin Luther King was a tankie, opponents of the Vietnam war are tankies, and based on your own support of actions taken by US Presidents, you’re a subscriber to tankie ideology.

                    Again “liking someone you don’t like” is not an ideology
