My favorite are the couple openly trans people who consistently simp for regimes that would gladly disappear them.

They're currently defending North Korea. It's ridiculous.

I am not shocked.

I know how easy it is to both be trans and also be put into a cult-like mindset at the same time (guilty of this myself), but come on! These consiquences are deadly.

Assuming they actually are and aren't just playing an openly trans character.

Don’t forget Putin bravely defending himself against western imperialism by invading neighboring nations, and how he must secretly be a communist no matter how much of the country he has privatized and sold off to his cronies.

I'll never understand why tankies defend a colonial imperialist oligarchy like Russia when it has nothing to do with socialism/communism.

Because the vast majority are just as stupid as the libertarians. They don't actually know what socialism or even communism is. They just know they were told that capitalism is bad (and... it mostly is) and that if they support this revolution they'll get everything they want.

Its why so many are hellbent on accelerationism. They think that they'll become warlords during the civil war and get exactly what they want.

Yeah, America AND China are genocidal privacy hating countries!

Indeed, but only one of them can you openly criticize while living within its borders without fear, and it ain't China.

The Holodomor was a myth. As if a socialist regime would intentionally starve millions of people!

Disclaimer: famines can and do happen under capitalism, even intentionally (e.g. Ireland) but at least there's no widespread denialism like you see when they occur under ostensibly socialist regimes. And if they are acknowledged, then the debate switches to whether or not the country is truly socialist, or somehow this is still capitalism's fault.
