I wish I understood what the tankies are actually thinking. I just cant understand them. Even rightwing crazies seem more easy to understand. Are they just so extremist they repress any logical thought within themselves if it clashes with their views? Why do they idolize those horrible regimes? What is actually important to them?
They’re like holocaust deniers. They’re conspiracy theorists who think we’re being tricked into not knowing the truth by mainstream media (which… That’s a fair critique) and then “doing their own research” and reaching wild ass anti-vax-esque conclusions based on deciding to trust media outlets that are just as dangerous, if not moreso, than the ones they decided to tune out from.
