An 8-panel Phoebe Teaching Joey meme.
The first panel is Phoebe from Friends saying “Russia”.
The second panel is Joey from the same show replying with “Russia”.
The third panel is Phoebe saying “has invaded”.
The fourth panel is Joey repeating back “has invaded”.
The fifth panel is Phoebe saying “Ukraine”.
The sixth panel is Joey repeating back “Ukraine”.
The seventh panel is Phoebe saying the completed phrase “Russia has invaded Ukraine”.
The final panel shows Joey proudly proclaiming “NATO just started a proxy war”.
Tankies are just anti America edge lords. I’m surprised they haven’t started claiming Iran is somehow a communist country.
They fall for the fallacy that because America hasn’t done great things in its history, “not America” must be virtuous and a moral paragon. They don’t realize that there can be even darker evils instead. It’s a simplistic worldview where the bad guy’s enemy must be a good guy, not an even worse bad guy.
Give them enough time and dissonance and they’ll get there.
