    I just assume tankie’s are children who just learned about leftist politics.

    They’re universally immature, hyper reactive and hopelessly naive.

    If someone is an adult but acts like a tankie I just assume mental disability/disorder.

    Generally speaking I pity them more than anything because being a tankie must be a miserable and confusing experience.

      Tankies are just more people that cant seem to grasp that a nuanced political opinion is possible.

      You can dislike capitalism’s imperialist tendencies without blindly approving of communist imperialism simply because they oppose western interests.

      Tankies don’t know what they are advocating. They are naive and simple people who believe that the problem is a communism-capitalism duality, and capitalism is the problem. The issue is egalitarian-authoritarian and tankies support Kings and single points of authority instead of a democratic approach.

      If I meet an adult who supports authoritarians it’s safe to assume they don’t understand what they are talking about or enjoy being someone’s bitch.
