Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.

Rules:

  1. Be civil and 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. For a more general community !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works is recommended.

The level of sheer selfish ignorance you display is incredibly shocking. But not unsurprising for someone clearly as blinkered as yourself.

For the price of some asinine trip to bumfuck Idaho you would allow an aggressive megalomaniac to achieve his goals? Do you really think he will stop after Ukraine, if he can get away with it?

You best believe that it is in your interest to keep Putin from winning this war. Or else you will find that a bigger problem waits for you and yours in a few years.

Appeasement only makes an aggressor more aggressive. You need a history lesson more than you need some holiday money.
