They'll point to Israel, Israel, Israel. Okay, sure, agreed.

But when you point out that China, North Korea, and Russia are all engaging in a blatant genocide against Ukraine -- they suddenly cannot grasp the concept!

My political sanity check is to ask what one's opinion is on Ukraine and Palestine.

See Ukrainians as victims of genocide but not Palestine? Zionist piece of shit. Palestinians are victims but Russia is justified? Tankie piece of shit. Don't approve of either genocide? Might be a sane human being that actually dislikes genocide itself.

Genocide is when the killing is not being done by my friends.

War justification can cause some crazy opinions and stances.

See, I understand the sentiment, but then I also know many people who use terms like "tankie" also wouldn't be super chill about anti-imperialism in any way related to abolishing the EU, US, Canada, Australia, etc. Not that is necessarily the case, but hardly worth focusing on "hypocrisy" without consistency.

You all for ending Canada or the US?

Israel isn't a democracy.

Pfff, a real tankie would never admit it was for territorial expansion. Don't you know Zelensky is the new Hitler? Russia is just saving Europe from Ukraine.

We should be thanking them.

I have a 35 year-old coworker who is a Ride Or Die Russian dick rider he doesn’t fully support Trump since the Epstein cover-up, but he still will praise him, but he fully supports Russia in its invasion of Ukraine saying that Ukraine is full of pedophiles and they need to be wiped off the Earth. And somehow achieving this will make our lives in America better and everything will be cheaper somehow…

Don't give money to Ukraine because they're evil fascists. Let Putin and his glorious thousand year regime reign supreme and stamp out the parasites suckling the life out of the earth like ticks on the flesh of Matka Rossiya.

This will also make eggs cheaper.
