Usually how it goes with Tankies. They start of with “oh these capitalist billionaires suck balls, amirite?” and then the next thing you know they’re trying to convince you to enlist to fight for Russia.
NATO is always a great phrase to sort the wheat from the chaff. Any Anarchist or Democratic Socialist with two brain cells to rub together sees that a mutual defense pact just makes sense and has prevented war and will prevent further war. But Tankies? They fucking hate that shit with a burning passion, because it prevents expansion by Russia and China.
To put it this way: TikTok, an short form video feed operated out of Beijing now and for its entire history, endorsed and thanked Donald Trump by name. They thanked him for saving the platform, which had voluntarily shut down before the election, before he was even inaugurated.

And to illustrate the impact that action had: Donald Trump was the first Conservative to win the youth vote in decades, since 1988.
