He used the term “tankie” unironically… It’s over
Russia has 20 times more nazis
Then how come they can seem to take one normal photo?
You don’t understand, Ukrainian Nazi tattoos are psychological tactics to scare the Russian soldiers. When Russian soldiers see swastika, it triggers their collective trauma of the Nazi invasion 70 years ago which saps their morale and incapacitates their fighting capability.
Ukraine is just using Nazi symbols ironically. The more swastikas the Russians see, the more scared they become.
By that logic, you shouldn’t support sending money, guns, and bombs to Ukraine because they’re Nazis
Doesn’t matter how many Nazis there are, you don’t give them anything
But we have to support the good nazis. You dont want bad nazis to win, do you?
Oh we’re talking about the US presidential election again?
All of life is just a series of choosing lesser hitlers
to be fair the take itself does not imply supporting Ukraine, just that it’s silly to believe the war will ever lead to any “denazification” at all, and to be all SMO ZOV GOIDA 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺 because of it.
All of Europe including Russia has an underground Nazi problem, Ukraine on the other hand is an open Nazi state, quite a difference
Doesn’t take a scholar of fascism to figure this shit out, but libs love playing on legendary mode
New guy: Dude who supports mao hating on “tankies”
Old guy, see: every post-Sino-Soviet split Maoist
Critical support to anti European action.
It’s true folks, we need a mayocide
“All of Europe has Nazis” is not the defense of democracy you think it is.
I think Russia and Ukraine are both bad
Ukraine is probably more fascist than Russia is but that honestly barely matters to me. I just think it would be very bad for the world if the Great Satan managed to defeat and subjugate Russia using Ukraine as a proxy.
no clue who this even is tbh, did they used to be good? how can you say tankie derogatorily while being a maoist?
He’s not a Maoist he just uses the aesthetic while doing cig and beer reviews
wait now i think i remember this dude from an episode of deprogram
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
MLMs are generally pro-Ukrainian natlib and do not support the idea of critical support for modern Russia. Most of them also understand that “tankie” includes them but I figure this one is so distracted by MLM vs ML infighting (or, since its twitter, MLM vs patsoc fighting lmao, since there are like 5 actual MLs on that platform) that he wants to seperate themself from the word tankie and say “no tankies is people with the ML stance on the Ukraine War”.
Are you sure he actually is a Maoist? I always got the impression this dude is as much of a Maoist as your average band kid who blasts the Soviet Anthem in the school bus is a Stalinist.
Always funny to see someone named after mao or Marx or whatever posting shit like this lol
Side note, but the funniest part of the Ukraine war to me is that Russian neo-Nazi group that sides with Ukraine. Because they feel like Putin is humiliating Russia.
Cool.
I think they have some thoughts on russia’s ethnic composition, there were completely bonkers interviews when ukraine first tried to attack with them. So they see ukraine as true slavic aryan state, and russia as corrupted by those non-russians
russia took tartars in like 1500s something, they are just nuts to want slavic stateThey were upset that Alexi “Muslims are cockroaches and should be crushed” Nalvany got a trip to the Arctic.
The anti tankie to nazi pipeline is basically just a giant very short tunnel.
Even if this assumption was 100% true, it still makes sense to trust Russian communists to do their part and practice revolutionary defeatism, while we practice revolutionary defeatism here. We can’t stop Russian reactionaries from the west, and Russians can’t stop western reactionaries by themselves either; so the only thing you can do is not support western reactionaries. It’s not that hard.
Edit: just to clarify I don’t actually think Russians should practice revolutionary defeatism because the nature of the SMO is not imperialist, but I’m just saying that even if you supposed that it was, the action that western leftists ought to take remains the same.
wow_mao should read On Contradiction.
The nazi analogy makes a lot more sense when you think of it in terms of “country funded by colonizing powers to produce regime change in russia and extend western imperialism” rather than swastikas/anti-semitism, they even do that too though so lmao what is he even on about. Dialectical materialism? Imperialism? Nah we do a count of Hitler particles and the country with more deserves to die
By “just based off popukation” does he just mean Russia has 20x the people and he assumed even distribution.
Cool, go ahead and show me the russian unit that’s explicitly neo Nazi and then about a half dozens pictures of Russian soldiers posing with nazi insignia and we can start seriously having this discussion.
By “just based off popukation” does he just mean Russia has 20x the people
by 20x the population he means he’s a spiritual cracker and has never looked at a globe, population statistics, or ethnic distributions
all mayo countries are empty
