I think this is either russian troll or someone who bought into their propaganda
Tankies almost always buy into the propaganda of foreign powers. I don't think they're a troll, just legitimately part of a community that reinforces very vile and incorrect beliefs.
I don't think they're a troll
Russia literally pays for army of trolls writing and spreading their propaganda on social media in almost the entire EU. I've seen their posts in Polish social media - initial non controversial post, fake upvotes then smearing campaign in the comments - their're doing this world wide. It seems that tankies are specifically vulnerable to this.
Oh, they're definitely parroting the propaganda peddled by Russian trolls, I just think they themselves are in good faith with their insanity.
I'm still convinced the tankie communities are like 20% actual people and the rest just bots or AI models.
"All the propaganda you have consumed uncritically," juxtaposed with, "the camps have done nothing but improve Uyghurs' lives!"
Nice chunky responses. good trolling 7/10
Excellent. Best I've seen. 5/7.
10/7 with rice.

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.
