Comment on Hexbear is incapable of understanding hypocrisy
FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 1 day agoTankies are just MAGA after their regime takes root. What the CCP does to Uighurs and Tibetans is what Trump WISHES he could do. China and Russia are constantly trying to expand borders. They’re a threat to continued life on this earth, they hate us, and they’re spending massive amounts of money to spread propaganda and do us as much harm as possible.

I think we might be having a misunderstanding. I thought of “tankies” as denizens of lemmy.ml and similar places, likely not even being Russian or Chinese themselves or living there.
I’m pretty sure you are right about Chinese and Russian imperialism. However, the average person anywhere is not a knowing supporter of imperialism themselves… that’s where propaganda comes into play.

The people who own and operate ML and Hexbear are the Tankies who fervently support the Russian and Chinese dictatorships, as well as those in North Korea, Indonesia, Iran, Cuba, and Venezuela which act as puppet states for them.
To say there might be a few normal but misled people on those instances is a pointless distinction because they are Tankie instances.

I don’t know enough about those instances’ leaders to guess whether they’re also misled by propaganda or knowingly supporting these dictatorships and their actions.
