    Like when German communists helped the Nazis and worked against the social democrats, because reasons.

    But to be fair: Some tankie cried to me that the social democrats deserved that. And the Jews. And the Gypsies. And Poland.

      Nazis were social democrats as well

      Not to mention who hired friekorps to murder revolutionaries?

        They pretended to be social democrats to gain support of the mass. In practice they were not social democrats.

      The KPD strat of declaring the SDP “social fascists” and refusing all cooperation was certainly a move. Maybe they shouldn’t have waited until they were both in camps to work together.

    Tankies are so weird. I’m sure some of them are true believers, but I get the feeling most of them just want to watch the western world burn and kinda don’t care how it happens.

    Well, and then there’s the fact that posts like this always get swarmed by users from .ml and other similar instances (around the time that the eastern hemisphere wakes up) with the message “both sides bad”

      I’m sure there’s also a population of tankies that don’t understand truly what they are saying and are just vaguely repeating talking points from their favorite podcaster/streamer.

      It would certainly explain why every argument with a tankie fits into 1 of about 6 of the same arguments with slightly different flavor.

    Do not read OPs post history unless you want to receive liberal brainworm psychic damage.

    It’s like baby’s first anticommunist lemmy agitprop, but somehow wrapped in the stink of a reddit poster. Gross.
