Dunking on Tankies from a leftist perspective.

A tankie is someone who defends/supports authoritarian or even totalitarian regimes who call themselves "socialist". The term originated from people supporting the 1956 invasion of Hungary by the Soviet Union. Nowadays they are just terminally online, denying genocides, and falling for totalitarian propaganda and calling such regimes "true democracies". remember to censor usernames when necessary.

Too articulated to be real. If this were written like a Trump tweet* it would be more realistic. *more: SAD! ALL CAPS! misspelings and run on rambling

I’m going to choose to believe that, my brain refuses to compute this as real without an aneurysm
