      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.

            Putin is definitely a dictator who started the war, and invaded Ukraine.

            But doesn’t every country have the right to defend itself? (Not that Russia is ‘defending itself’ in this case)

              I don’t know why you’re asking a question that you answered. Yes they do, but that’s not what Russia is doing. That’s their excuse and it makes no sense. Ukraine has a right to defend itself. Russia is invading.
