Ohhhh, I get hexbear now.
Wow, what an amazingly terrible worldview.
“I told you I was going to rob you if you tried to defend yourself, it’s your fault.”
That's the genesis of the word "tankie", much misused today: they say they are communist, but then advocate for the law of the strongest and can't conceive of an alliance that isn't more than vassalage and sending in the "tanks" against their allies to ensure they don't fall out of line. That's why everyone ran away from the Warsaw Pact when it ended whereas NATO endured.
It's actually appalling how much seething hate they have towards communists
