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.

Curious about non-tankie leftism? If you've got a little patience for 19th century academic style, let a little Marx and Kropotkin be your primer!

Marx's Communist Manifesto, short and accessible! Highly recommended if you haven't read it

Kropotkin's Conquest Of Bread

Selected works of Marx

Getting a bunch of downvotes for stating that Russia isn’t hacking other countries’ military technology. Post is on .ml and couldn’t think of any other reason.

Took a look at the thread, some pretty gruesome tankieness going on in there, so you're probably not wrong.

I didn’t really understand it at first, because clearly military devices do not function anything like an IoT device. Then numerous comments started suggesting that Russia would just hack the land mines and so clearly they should be hacking all the drones as well, but that sure doesn’t seem to be happening. Then I got dog piled on and was like “wtf it’s happening” and took a look at the instance and the users and it became clear.
