    Crying about “tankies” is just calling everything “woke” with extra steps. Not everyone there automatically supports NATO/Ukraine but it’s far from what you describe.

      There are still significant numbers of people denying the genocide currently happening and actively rooting for the invaders, which is why I pointed it out. There’s a reason they have been defederated by so many large instances. This has nothing to do at all with anything “woke” and I don’t see why you’d even bring it up.

      Edit: I just had a look at their frontpage and the first post there is about how the “western MSM” lied about the counteroffensive and how “Stalin shouldn’t have stopped at Berlin”. Yeah, alright. lmao

        Republican: “Everything to the left of me is woke.”

        Republican pretending to be liberal online: “Everything to the left of me is tankie.”

        At the end of the day it’s a word that can mean anything you want, and is only useful as a tactic to divide resistance against right wingers.
