definitely aimed at you, but also edifying for anyone who might think the USA was solidly on the side of good during the war. The US entered the war in 41, but they refused Stalin's repeated requests to open a second front against Germany. They went to north africa first and then italy, waiting until the German eastern front had nearly collapsed before landing in Normandy. The US was essentially racing against the red army, trying to prevent the soviet union from liberating the entirety of europe under the banner of liberation for humankind. Once the US reached Germany and peace began, the US almost immediately formed NATO and appointed Nazi war criminals into its upper ranks while putting nazi war ciminals in charge of west germany. The yankee government is bad and always has been. throughout all of its history it only has made good choices when it has been dragged kicking and screaming.
-Historical illiteracy coupled with utter smugness
-Ego too fragile to stand being corrected
-Weird homophobia and sexual projection in response to feeling challenged
-"Your own kind"
Yup, it's liberal time
Lol you guys say "tankie" like it's a fucking reflex. Go read some books, jesus christ.
If I was a tankie I'd hate being called a tankie, too. Grifting becomes difficult if people actually have a word to describe your grifting, no?
No one here gives a shit about being called a tankie lmao it looks exactly as goofy as when conservatives call everything they don't like "woke"
The "tankies" were right about Hungary and they are right now too, Bidenist trash.
Yeah, that's your ideology, tankie... repressing the working class "for their own good." There's no need to explain it to me - I already know.
Which people, the holocaust collaborators doing pogroms in Hungary? Why would you identify with them?
Oh look... the tankies are starting to talk in pictures again because all the copium robs them of the ability to form coherent sentences.
You do remember why we call you tankies, right? Hungary?
I don't hate being called it, I just think you're a lazy anti-intellectual. Also funny you think we're "grifting". Do you honestly think we get paid for this? Someone believes something different from you and the only explanation is we're getting xibucks deposited into our bank account? Get your head out of your ass man.
How can I be an "anti-intelectual" when there are only pretend-intelectuals around?
