For those unaware, Houthi is one of the most extreme groups of jihad terrorists in the Middle-East, their flag is as follows:

“God is the Greatest, Death to America, Death to Israel, Cursed be the Jews, Victory to Islam”.

    Sooo… this community is not really about “dunking on Tankies from a leftist perspective” - all I see here is liberals circle-jerking the same old right-wing “terrorism” tropes about anyone that doesn’t play nice with the west.

      The only people who would make an entire community about shitting on leftists are conservatives, liberals or closet liberals

        Yeah I know, I mean as a bisexual I get not liking old Bibi and the IDF for what they’re doing to Gaza (even though Tel Aviv is the San Francisco of the middle east while in Palestine they fucking defenestrate us, which of course still doesn’t make Israel’s actions in Gaza or West Bank right), but to not only openly simp far-right terrorist groups while of course fantasizing about genocide which is these people’s personal hobby, but even wokewash them and pretend they don’t go against your own interests…

    Most tankies are western middle class who think that being anti-west is a valid personality trait.

          Or unironically use such imaginative and devastating insults as “Amerikkka”/“Imperial Core” (USA), “The Empire” (NATO), “Ukronazi”, or “Isntreal” towards countries they don’t like and want genocided

    A lot of tankies’ ideology boils down to “west bad, thus critical support to anyone who is against the west”.
