        If anyone wants to argue. Both want an oppressive rule that brings about very great gains to the society. Certain parts are eradicated.

        All in the name of greater good.

        More importantly, oppression magically skips over them.

        Yes, that is fascism. Funny you ask.

          Tankies are not opposed to colonialism if China or the USSR is the force behind it, that’s the entire problem. They are against things you are against until a country they like does it.

              I don’t understand how what I’m saying is incompatible with properly blaming the source of our problems in our own country. Tankies are still insane and support autocrats.

              Do you know why they’re called Tankies?

          Maga and tankies probably have demographic differences and they want different bullies in charge, but importantly both want a bully in charge.

          When it comes to trans rights, MAGA would love to be half as good at taking them away as the states tankies support.

          It’s fascism with a coating of delusions

          The actual fuck are you on about?

          I know it’s probably difficult to find behind the great firewall but try looking up the Tiananmen Square massacre.

          Spoiler: the people standing in front of the tanks are not the ones we refer to as tankies.
