What do you mean by materialism? don't really see how it applies.
[removed by mod]
Oh materialism in a communist way, thats why google's definition didn't make sense.
There is far more evidence that the Uyghur genocide happened, than it didn't. Even if it wasn't a genocide, its still Crimes Against Humanity.
When it comes to the whole imperialism aspect, of course the U.S is imperialist, its stupid to say they're not. But supporting Russia because they're imperialist in the other way is wrong, because its still imperialism.
That's the point of the post, I don't see it as vibes based analysis and moreso just pointing this out.

I'd say that by tankie they mean people who have modern support of russia, and people who deny the Ughyur genocide. The term is used for those people because supporting Authoritarian Communism usually "comes with the territory", so to speak.
I don't see any other answer to the other question than: "person in america". How/why could it be different?
but naturally the OOP is unable to confront her own brainworms here,
And what are those?

When people say tankie, they typically mean Authoritarian Communist,
Typically, people who support this will oppose U.S imperialism, which is good! But they will support states like russia because they oppose the U.S, even though russia would do much more damage if they had the ability.

how did you escape containment?

That makes sense, but supporting a different group just because they oppose their Hegemony is wrong, because that group would cause much more harm if they had the ability.
An Enemy of my Enemy can still be my Enemy.
If I could transmit one truth into the heads of all humans it would be simply this: there can be multiple evils in the world and sometimes they even oppose one another; simply fighting a specific evil does not make a person/country/entity "good."
