Dunking on Tankies from a leftist perspective.
A tankie is someone who defends/supports authoritarian or even totalitarian regimes who call themselves "socialist". The term originated from people supporting the 1956 invasion of Hungary by the Soviet Union. Nowadays they are just terminally online, denying genocides, and falling for totalitarian propaganda and calling such regimes "true democracies". remember to censor usernames when necessary.

https://sh.itjust.works/comment/2901411 This guy explains pretty well. This is really typical kinda stuff for feds - disrupt, discredit, divide. Real leftist discourse disrupts power. This hexbear shit does nothing of the sort
Oh, so basically COINTELPRO style operations.
While its hard not to take such comment as a wild conspiracy theory i do admit it makes some sense.
It fits very well with my feeling that both Russian and Chinese version ms off communism were part designed or influenced to act as a strawman to proof it leads to dictatorship. Conveniently always ignoring that the social classes never got abandoned.
