Yeah, but a tankie send me an essay of words with words in them and when I asked for a source they send me a link with words which led to more sites with words on it and when I hit the original source I reached a YouTube video where some dude talking out of his ass about CIA doing the crimes and there are no crimes but when there are it was CIA but there are no other crime doers then Muslims they deserve what is happening to them which is nothing but if then it is CIA.

Amazing.

Obscurantism is a favorite tool of tankies, along with blatant denials of reality and conspiratorial thinking. Almost like they're far-right goons same as any MAGA bootlicker, just painted a slightly different shade of red.

The thing to remember with all authoritarians. Is that they aren't realistically left or right. They will use whatever means they think they can to maintain control and power. If they think moving in a more socialist direction. Will have people acquiesce and cooperate while still giving them plenty of wealth and power. They will 100% do that. We've seen it in the USSR, we've seen it in China, we've seen it in North Korea. Or they can go capitalist/fascistic as the United States has done for 100 years or so.

Hypocrisy isn't a flaw to them. It is a tool to be used heavily.

And only the redscarers mistakenly use CCP its CPC totally not like the CCCP which is bad except when it's good and Putin is the moral successor of the completely justified pograms against the bourjwasee.
