parasites at "work"
preach!
rly? From my perception it's a rare case that it's used coherently.
And as I said more often than not, just as a "someone to the left of me" or "someone I don't like"- type slur
Wish I could do that as well but I have to mod their shit TwT
That's one of the few good definitions tbh
However, most of the time liberals or so called social democrats/democratic socialists just say 'tankie' to everyone to the left of them
Stalin I get, but I have yet to see a revisionist (read Dengist or "ML" larper) who defends fascist Germany
It's just that the CIA did sooo many fucking atrocities, that quite a few of them (most notably experiments and their silly stuff like trying to murder Castro) turned out to be failures.
And during the Cold War the CIA was some axis of evil shit. Any time some leftists came to power in the US's "backyard" (read the Americas and Caribbean. but tbh most of the world), you would either see a fascist coup or some other attempt to delegitimise them...
Guess who trained the mujahedeen in Afghanistan and the contras in Nicaragua, and gave money, resources and guidance to the fascist military in Chile? (just some historic examples)
Nowadays you still have the same shit but less. Especially in the US's "backyard". Like Bolivia a few yes ago bc they wanted to nationalise their resources (most notably lithium mines)
But a lot of the time the CIA just makes the preparatory work for US Invasion (Grenada, Iraq and Afghanistan to give some examples)
It's kind of interesting how under an anti-CIA post, some of the first associations ppl make is "man the USA is bad but have you heard of them tankies? I hate those ppl"
Like no one even said anything about revisionists or wannabe MLs lol.
The word tankie doesn't even mean anything anymore
no real-world anarchist will do that. Unfortunately there is a bunch of online liberal larpers who just like the aesthetic
You know that... Christianity developed in the Roman Empire? The Middle East (more exactly Palestine and Syria. Which were larger that today's counterparts) wasn't some magical place where giants lived, but a province of said Empire
pls don't let all the liberal downvoting discourage you. posts like this are more than welcome here <3
If Harris were actually leftwing, she'd pull that lever instantly, burn NATO to the ground, crush Isn'treal and many other based things
but alas, she is just the "good" cop of the bourgeoisie
(which essentially just means slapping BLM, LGBT and "feminist" stickers onto the bombs she drops wherever Wall Street requires it)
