        Can someone who justifies russian imperialism and promotes russian propaganda copytext be considered a tankie? :)

        In all seriousness, Chomsky is not tankie.

        That being said, what’s with the association with US oligarchs involved with abuse of minors and happy photos with US authoritarians?

          Those that support Russia aren’t actually left wing they are just claiming to be. So I guess it depends on the definition of tankie.

            I remember you, you were the one calling for a genocide of Russia and calling any one opposed a tankie

              I never called anyone a tankie and I said Russia should be split up and given to it’s neighbors. You should work on your reading comprehension skills, my friend.

                  Correct, the country should be wiped off the map. And carved up and given to it’s neighbors. That doesnt mean killing the humans that reside there.

                    You should be carved up and given to your neighbours, fascist.

                    That doesnt mean killing the humans that reside there.

                    Oh? What happens when they resist being forcibly balkanised by foreign powers who are trying to forcibly strip them of their right to self determination?

          Chomsky is anti-Russia too, what are you talking about?

          That being said, what’s with the association with US oligarchs involved with abuse of minors and happy photos with US authoritarians?

          Answer my question first: were there any “tankies” on Epstein’s plane? Chomsky isn’t one, so name one.

        Of course. as long as you use the liberal the definition of tankie which is ‘everyone who disagrees with US foreign policy’

        Real answer: I guess Tito? lol
