Conservatives don’t agree with things. Conservatives agree with people.
And tankies are conservatives. It’s not a political ideology. They’re tribalists whose chosen ingroup is anyone doing leftist signalling. Same pattern of behavior as screeching for liberty and freedom while installing a king.
Tankies have been anti-NATO since 1949. It has nothing to do with the Red v. Blue spectacle.
And they oppose NATO because they supported Soviet imperialism.
So if and when the US is no longer a member of NATO, the Tankies will openly support Trump?
A lot of them already openly support Trump and promoted him actively on Hexbear and Lemmygrad before the election.
Am I missing something? Aren’t tankies just ancap? Also what is Trump saying that is anti capitalism?
Tankies supposedly oppose capitalism, and they only support anarchism when it’s in the West.
The term is derived from those who sided with the tanks when the USSR rolled into towns and later when the CCP sent the military on their own citizens during an event that resulted in millions of deaths across their nation. You know, “communists” but without any power in the hands of the workers.
AnCaps are idiots that accept the Austrian school of economics.
Tankies are in general poorly educated leftists with limitied logical processing skills.
Tankies are Russian and Chinese imperialists. They hate America for its imperialism, but love Russia and China for theirs. They’re also very pro-genocide while simultaneously denying genocides.
AnCaps want a stateless society, but it is a misdirection to install neo-feudalism. For some reason they believe they’ll be on top.
I guess my question is more, what is Trump saying that is the same as Tankies? Trump isn’t anti Capitalist.
Both spread Russian propaganda.
Examples - Ukraine started the war. Putin is not a dictator. Western/NATO expansion is aggressive encroachment and Russia has a sovereign duty to defend itself.
This last one is funny considering Russia no longer controls those territories and Russia themselves are the invaders.
Anything’s possible when you make shit up kiddo
In Tankie Lemmy, shit kiddo up make you
Tankie punks fuck off!
Lol no
Nah some dipshits back Russian imperialism like their forefathers backed Soviet imperialism. Thus there are tankies who agree with Trump vis a vis Ukraine even if they disagree on when and whom it is ok to be racist towards.
Cool story
You can find people on some instances that feel Russia had a right to resist Western encroachment in their border which ignores the whole invading bit.
