    Tankies couldn’t wait to absolve their favorite orange of blame, I see. I give it maybe two years before we get full-throated “Critical support for Comrade Trump!” as they, side-by-side with their fellow useful idiots in MAGA, continue their coprophagia and regurgitation from the Russian propaganda trough.

    It’s sad that a few guys in a Moscow basement is enough to set these morons parroting whatever position du jour most serves Russian interests. The point-of-the-day just needs a coat of red paint for the tankies, and brown paint for the MAGA fascists, and then they gleefully spread it around themselves, no matter how much it contradicts their prior claimed principles - or positions. Remember when many of these self-proclaimed leftists were swearing up and down that Russia would NEVER invade Ukraine, and that it was all a hoax made up by the US?

    Fuck’s sake.

      I forgot about this, but now that you mention it, yes, yes I do recall.

      It’s fucking wild. I was under the impression that most of them were at least smart enough to understand they were being accelerationist.

      Apparently that is too high a bar and they actually have no fucking clue what words mean in general.

    Tankies and MAGA are just two sides of the same Russian disinformation coin, tailored for two notably different but still equally ignorant and credulous audiences.

      The problem is that the smartest bots at this point can act more human than some of the least-creative and independent human beings.

        It got the the point on reddit I started assuming anyone using an account created 2023 or later was a bot because so many of them were on the political subs. Probably should have been the clue to dip earlier but oh well I’m here now.
