Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.
Rules:
- Be civil and no bigotry of any kind.
- No tankies or right-wingers. Liberals are allowed so long as they are aware of this
- No genocide denial
We allow posts about tankie behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion. For a more general community [email protected] is recommended.

That's gotta be a prank, right? Right??
I’m going to choose to believe that, my brain refuses to compute this as real without an aneurysm
Too articulated to be real. If this were written like a Trump tweet* it would be more realistic. *more: SAD! ALL CAPS! misspelings and run on rambling
idk, tankies are generally pretty capable of being verbose. I wouldn't count it out.
For real, every time they post something it feels like they're trying to hit a word count for a paper they are over-due for.
It's like they pull up ChatCCP at 11:38pm the night it's due and tell it to write them a 2000-word essay about "how the didactic materialism of imperial hegemony irrevocably leads to bourgeois exploitation of the Global South".
It's posturing, generally. Like Jordan Peterson fans. "Verbosity = intelligence = correct". They so very desperately want to be taken seriously.
Or like listening to a corporate executive's speech, where they twist themselves in knots to use all the current buzzwords. "Dialectical analysis," check. "Progressive role," check. "Material conditions," check. "Critical support," check. "Something something Nazis," check.
Talkies yes, redneck trailer trash not so much...
Poe's law says that it might not be, or some tankie will take it seriously.
