This sarcastic comment was removed and got me banned:

I see. So the US western expansion wasn't imperialist because they weren't a hegemonic world power yet. They were just trying to make sure they could stand up to England! It wasn't about territorial expansion or resources at all. Ridiculous drivel.

They can't let other tankies see how ridiculous their arguments are.

The other one was mocking tankies for gargling Putin's asshole, which is a bit more understandable; I guess some people like the taste.

    Tankies are authoritarians. Red fascists. They don't give a fuck about anything or anyone, just their fascist kings being in charge so they can hurt people they think are inferior. Just like any other fascist.

    They shit on Marx and gargle Lenin and Mao, then tell you that actually state control and secret police are the real communism.

    Is it any wonder from people who cheer when the tanks roll over protesters and revolutionaries?

    I am still convinced a sizable chunk of online tankies are just right-wing extremists cosplaying. Oh, and of course foreign operatives.

    I'd say it's even simpler than that, it's just tribalism.

    $person has criticized our gracious $monarch. They deserve to die!

    $person speaks against $religion and is a heretic. They deserve to die!

    $person made fun of $fascist_leader. They deserve to die!

    $person goes against $party. They deserve to die!

    Whoever is in power speaks absolute truth. Be it a fascist leader, a church, a communist party or a monarch. Opposing that truth is heresy/treason/counter-revolutionary/evil and should be severely punished.

    I hate how much they made Marx's name dirty, not only people will look at you funny for being communism because of the $$$ propaganda, they will also look at tankies and think communists are like this, infuriating
