    “Critical support for fascists!” - tankies unironically

    Of course, to tankies, “Critical support” means “I realize this looks bad but I still want to bootlick for it”

      I’ve seen them crow about how they don’t suffer from “Trump derangement syndrome” while posting the same anti-Biden stuff as christofash. It’s wild how much they support fascism and think they’re somehow immune to the label because they’re communists.

    It’s such a black-and-white take.

    “Communism is good. US is capitalist, so anti-communist, and NATO is basically led by the US, so it’s bad. Russia is anti-Nato, so anything they do must be good, including performing war crimes in Ukraine”

    So gross

    ‘We’re just performing loyalty and the details don’t matter’ is saying the quiet part into a megaphone.

    I can work with that. Someone actually recognizes the nationalism in United Russia and knows something about their ideology.
