I hate how “anti-war” has been hijacked by these people to mean, let imperialist countries invade whoever they want with no consequences. (in the case of tankies, any imperialist country that isn’t in NATO).

Wait, why are tankies siding with magas? I’ve been intentionally away for a minute, what did I miss?
Did something major happen in the last three days? Or is this the usual redirection of hate after we’ve found something to rally around?
"Tankies" (leftist in general, who tends to be against war due to internationalism) see Ukraine for what it is, that is a proxy war between two part of the oligarchy that only profits the rich:

MAGAs (fascists) support russia because of ideological proximity. The US couped the USSR and empowered fascists, about 30 years before the USSR coup'ed the US and empowered fascists. Tables are turning, but nothing change.
Liberals are whining because ending the war would be bad for the nasdaq. They are (as usual) trying to equate leftists with litteral nazis. Better hitler than the popular front. The issue with centrists is that they are very permeable to jingoist propaganda. They probably were the one thinking saddam had weapons of mass destruction.
Meanwhile my friend in Kiev calls ukraine north korea. You know, coz they cannot leave.
What an insulting interpretation that yet again ignores Russian responsibility for this war. It was ONLY their decision.
The russian regime have been put there by the USA in the first place. They are not a democracy.
What do you mean?
If you keep feeding the troll we'll end up with troll shit all over the lawn.
