      Interesting. I just think it’s weird that a supposedly leftist instance seems to support Russia’s invasion of Ukraine… the Russian state seems pretty far from leftist to me.

        This video goes into why. He argues that the term “tankie” is better replaced with “campist”. He explains their worldview and its flaws pretty well.

          Interesting, he mentions:

          “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” kind of politics

          And yeah that’s what tankies (or however they may be referred to) seem to get into. Which is ridiculous to me, because your enemy’s enemy is not necessarily a good person. But hey ho.
