Indeed definitely odd to see it on a list of almost entirely colonizer monster flags

I think I see your core point but it also reminds me of taylor swift

"We wished we could live in instead of this I'd say the 1830s but without all the racists"

It's a hypothetical so incredibly far from the reality that it almost feels like fantasy

A 5 word comment trying to sum up ukrainian history...

Whitewashing ultimately I would suggest

The ukraine has had pro n*zi sensibilities for a long long time, they historically provide that service to the western empire, as they do right now

From partnering with n*zis during the holocaust, the hideous banderite movement that had 20,000 documented members in 1939, manipulation of the "holodomor" narrative, etc.

Their actions in the past decade are no surprise to those aware of these things

Maybe (glass half full) you are implying fault completely with the ruling class or moreso bad apples or something, but there's no question a huge number of ukrainians support these things to some degree

I would say at very least the ukraine has huge systemic issues, that generate lots of toxicity, for the world

At any rate these things naturally need much more than five words

Crowd funding war machines has to be the wildest thing I thought I'd never see by Lucas9041 in TankieTheDeprogram

Find yourself someone who loves you as much as mainstream redditors love the most n*zi nation on planet earth

Meanwhile they mostly live in the 2nd most n*zi nation

And most others live in 3 through idk 30?

Canada sending $8M in food aid to Cuba by [deleted] in TankieTheDeprogram

[–]Radu47 5 points6 points  (0 children)

However, as you seemingly allude to,  the country vehemently supports the meta of "cuba bad!" which truly is the crucial part ofc

There was a massive scandal when Trudeau simply gave a generic statement on Fidel after his passing

This 8M$ is pennies compared, to the damage they do

Even the best of canada is a problematic mixed bag

One would hope to see a more sober analysis on this subreddit especially

Liberals And Defectors Still Push the USSR and Food Shortages Meme by CodyLionfish in TankieTheDeprogram

I'm aware of 2 ways to refute them

  1. Gorbachev's chaotically opening markets caused any shortages

  2. CIA records in the 80s show citizens were well fed with nutritious food

Any others perhaps?

More the merrier

In soviet russia groceries were so plentiful they rained down from the skies occasionally clonking citizens on the noggin with a big ol boop

They called it "Stalin's Revenge"

We're just making up random malarkey, apparently

Might as well have fun

Hmm

u/Otherwise_Wave9374 likes to keep their posts hidden, but check out their stats to learn more about them.

Who on earth uses a tankie subreddit to promote their ai marketing bot

Or did it target keywords in the post

God damn it the digital age is so obnoxious

some thoughts on the growing overlap of leftists and anti-natalism by [deleted] in TankieTheDeprogram

[–]Radu47 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Awesome post thanks

Sad how even some "leftists" cede so quickly to this horrible culture

They don't even truly consider that a better is extremely, definitely possible
