They’re tankies, which has its basis in appreciating the USSR and modern day China and some other governments that call themselves “Communist” while having very few if any leftist and communist qualities.

To answer your question, NO, they are not. Stupid and completely lacking in historical, economic, or political nuance? Yes, but that’s a separate problem and not “conservative” in the slightest.

Nuance means that The Adults In The Room that Make The Hard Decisions and Get Shit Done are nuanced when they enjoy atrocities because that's where the treats come from, but enemy teams are evil and subhuman because they interfere with treat distribution. galaxy-brain

M'nuance is when saying that all the Nazis should get shot is bad and ebil because muh clean wehrmacht but all Soviets getting nuked is an acceptable political position because the slavic race is historically violent and evil (totally unlike western europeans though slavery was a necessary evil so it wasnt evil).

Cannot stand when v*ushites make a claim on being the only 'real' communists.

ButtTubers: It's only real communism if it never does anything of value for anyone.

I'd love to actually see some of the "nuance" these people are supposedly operating with, but it only ever seems to be whiny insistence that their perspective is obviously better.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
