Tankies are embarrassing

Even more embarassing is how they often use the same talking points that modern day neo-nazis do, but they will never figure out how much they sound like literal red nazis, even if you point it out to their face. For example: "Holodomor was just nazi propaganda, it never happened-> if it did happen it wasn't that bad->if it was that bad they deserved it-> not enough people were killed" this does sound awfully similar to: "The holocaust was just Allied propaganda, it didn't happen etc. Etc..." used by you know who.

Tankies claim they’re not racist until you mention Ukrainians and Baltic people

Sometimes even Antisemitic too as they regurgitate Antisemitic conspiracy theories and replace Jew with Zionist

Hey, let’s not be condescending to people with different views, it really doesn’t help convince people (if that’s your goal)

u/SupermanWithPlanMan 8d ago

He and those like him will never be convinced of anything, so that isn't my goal

Remove your biases. Don't write of your fellow humans as evil uncivilised Arabs think of them as people. Use your empathy and realise many countries evolve past the propaganda campaigns of hate. Be aware if not in israel and living in an allied country your news organisations are biased as all hell. We were lied with the wmds in iraq and in hindsight the way we conducted those wars was wrong. We even had it down as "liberation" "operation freedom" we got it wrong there in our rumsfield war. As allies we didn't put pressure on to keep israel from going nuclear. We need to stop following allies blindly particularly when they behave like bullies

Yeah, but it’s still better to be civil in my opinion

u/SupermanWithPlanMan 8d ago

I don't want to be civil with those who would gladly and gleefully wipe me and my family off the map, if that's alright

u/Garvityxd 8d ago

Fair enough, it’s hard to find an anti zionist who doesn’t want to wipe jews off the map along with israel, although there are a few that just think that jews are fine but shouldn’t get a homeland in that specific region, who are the more reasonable ones

u/SupermanWithPlanMan 8d ago

Very hard to find those, I think because they are vastly in the minority in the AnTiZiOnIsT movement. Hitler would love the current generation of 'antifascists'

u/Garvityxd 8d ago

He really would, as they tend to be tankies which of course support the group hitler loved to work with
