Btw the term to describe that type of person is "tankie." They're ostensibly leftists, but in reality support all manner of authoritarian and genocidal leaders and groups.

Their foundational principle is generally "America and its allies bad, American enemies good" and almost all of their political positions are developed from that foundation.

Since tankies often don't like being called tankies, the more historically used term "campist" encompasses that "america vs everyone else" mentality. Campism is dumb and tankies end up fighting against the democratic movements they claim to support.

Yeah, I got banned from world news for calling out the tankie playbook.
