    This has happened to me on Lemmy and Reddit too. I forget what it was I said - an instance where it seemed to me Russia was technically in the right about something - and there was a big old pile on and many downvotes. I think the assumption was “agree with Russia on anything and you’re wrong about everything”

          If you support existing socialism, you’re already a tankie to most people. Hell, consistent anti-Zionism can make you a tankie to some.

      As usual the libs are projecting when they talk about leftists defending every single thing a country does. The reality is that they want everything a US rival does to be bad, every single time, and if you step away from that, no matter the objective facts, you’re a “tankie.”
