Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.

Rules:

  1. No bigotry of any kind.
  2. No tankies or right-wingers. Liberals are allowed so long as they are aware of this
  3. No genocide denial

We allow posts about tankie behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion.

Avoiding global nuclear annihilation is typically a good move.

If Russia was going to drop nukes, they would have already done so the past several hundred times they threatened to do so. It's all saber rattling.

That's pretty easy to say in hindsight.

Hey how about you empty your bank account and give it to me?

If you don't I'll press the nuclear annihilation button.

How did you know I wouldn't destroy the entire world, including myself, for your minuscule possessions?

If only this lesson could be applied somehow to global political theory...
