    They just going to pretend Imperialism didn’t literally criminalise homosexuality everywhere it went?
    All this mental gymnastics and somehow they end up at painting imperialism as significantly more progressive than it was (in the eyes of non-bigots of course)… 🤦‍♀️

      Imperialism, to tankies, means the present state of things, not the colonialism of the 19th century.

    You know it’s true because they used lots of technical terms and big words. If you throw enough political terminology into a paragraph, it makes it the right viewpoint to have.

      It has to be the right terminology though. The Pavlovian bells to let tankies know what they should feel when they read it.

        See this is what makes them different from those horrible alt right chuds, their trigger words sound fancier.

        Totally different mentality, totally different people.

    That explains why we didn’t get rights until we started throwing bricks at cops and our biggest political allies have always been the unions.

      I also gave up, but then saw your request and had to go back and re-read it. You are responsible by the brain cells killed in that process. I hope you’re happy.

      They’re saying that gay people are gay because they don’t want to work to reproduce. And “imperialists” want to make other people work for them instead of doing work themself. So, if reproduction = labor, then gays are imperialists because they want other people to do that labor.

      It’s fucking stupid.

    To be fair, I think this one is an actual nazi, not a tankie, given the downvotes and the username of “Finnish_nationalisti”. Also it’s been deleted.
