See clearly you need to read more theory. The Nordic countries are broadly aligned with the USA, that makes them Satan and responsible for all the evil in the world and you should support gangster oligarchies and theocratic dictatorships who oppose them.

it's so hard to parse a good joke when it comes to tankies this nearly flew right by

responsible for all the evil in the world rofls the great satan, oh man.

I love it. when they completely turn off their brains like this, does it require pulling a plug out or is there a switch?

pogroms and purges of stalin? THE USA's FAULT

great leap forward where millions starve? OH YEAH, USA'S FAULT BABY

NOTHING IS EVERY YOUR FAULT WHEN YOU'VE GOT THE GREAT SATAN TO BLAME LOL

The best part is that it isn't even a joke, that is how tankies think when you strip off the rhetoric. They honestly think siding with horrible regimes to oppose "imperialism" (even when opposing imperialism involves literal invasions of neighbouring countries) is the lesser evil.

Which is its own level of hilarious given the scorn they have for voting for social democrats as the lesser evil.

Where do you think these countries source fresh vegetables+fruits, rare metals, clothing, shoes, asphalt, concrete…?
