You call out Russia or China, MLs think if they regurgitate “read theory” that solves my issues with them.
You call out American liberals and how they aid fascists, you’re calling a secret Trump supporter.
You say that genocide is an evil action, liberals and Tankies will defend their favorite country’s actions because you’re a shill for the enemy if you do.
You say America did something kinda good, you’re somehow a neolib in disguise. You lightly praise the USSR, you’re Stalin’s second cousin as an AI.
I just don’t want people harmed by a government force. Fuck me, I guess? I feel like I’m taking crazy pills for applying the same morals to every politician and country, even ones I live in or slightly like.
Edit: If someone said it was annoying being an leftist and a bunch of liberals came in exusing their actions and doubling down, everyone would be singing a different tune. Just kinda fascinating.
They could but they wont, because for tankies, the ends always justify the means. Their main objective right now is to challenge US/Western military/geopolitical hegemony, so they are perfectly happy to just into bed with any genocidal dictator or religious fundamentalist who supports that cause. I mean, they say they really support trans people though, so I guess that makes up for all the times they’ve thrown their support behind Putin and the Iranians who famously are very progressive about lgbtq+ folks. /s
