To be clear. If you call yourself a leftist, and you pretend China isn't committing genocide, that makes you a tanky. That's what tankies are: people who claim to be leftists who support violent authoritarian regimes.
As a 5 eyes resident you seem like you're pretty supportive of the violent authoritarian USian regime.
Where, precisely, did I suggest that at all?
You're repeating their media narrative μαλακά
Pretending western media isn't censored, for one
iirc the person you're replying to is an anarchist not an ML, so they're not a tankie, unless your definition of tankie is just "anybody who isn't extremely anti-china and believes literally whatever the same press that told us that North Korea had claimed to find a unicorn, that the cuban government was committing a genocide within its own borders and is currently doing apologia for a real genocide of innocent muslims"
