A massive effort post detailing all the reasons many famous historic figures were tankies that people have been white washed on would probably be useful. I’m pretty good on figures like Einstein, Mandela, any of the Panthers, etc because I like dropping them into convos regularly but not so much on some others.

It would be funny if the whole video was specifically about people’s opinion on Khrushchev sending tanks into Hungary.

Speaking of anarchronisms - has the thumb and pinkey phone mime been replaced with a flat palm or maybe pinch a ‘mic’ in front of the mouth yet?

Tankie and proud

Unless they are willing to silence their own people’s dissent by deploying mechanized artillery, they aren’t tankies. End of story.

I’m still so fucking mad that that’s the definition of tankie instead of something more relevant to the present like “simps and bootlickers of thinktanks”.

And yes, according to the definition of tankie, ‘Dictator on Day One, and you’ll never have to vote again’ Donald Diaper-Dump Trump is MORE OF A TANKIE than anyone listed here. Especially when you realize that “putting the economy into the hands of an unelected cabal of insiders” (oligarchs) has effectively the same results as “putting the economy into the hands of an unelected cabal of insiders” (central planning committee).
