    You get called a tankie because of your die-hard support for authoritarian dictatorships crushing opposition using their military and police, such as by constantly advocating for anyone in western democracies to cease support for those oppositions, is the one and only reason you get called a tankie.

      I have not said you should not support the ukrainian people. The problem is that you do not, you are nationalists that support the ukrainian state, not the lives of human beings. They are two quite separate things.

        Gibberish. A division that seems to support the conspiracy theory that the revolution of dignity was a foreign coup. I have Ukrainian friends in Kharkiv and Donetsk. Didn’t even mention Ukraine in my comment.

        You assert that human life must always come above self-determination. Does that also mean the independence wars, (successful or not) of Haiti, Ireland, Zululand etc were just rash nationalism? They should have just learned to live inside the empire?

        For context, bonking tankies became my hobby since living in Taipei, which your side (i am generalising here, correct me if this is a mistake in your case) keeps insisting belongs to Xi in Beijing. It’s disgusting that self-proclaimed lefties support the foreign imperialist over the native democrat.
