Too many tankies. All of them saying people shouldn’t vote, while offering no solution and celebrating Russia as a good country.

Ignorant me:
What’s a tankie, slang for pro Russian propaganda bot?- How can I filter out these .ml fools?-
I’m old. My questions make me feel old.

I think this is an unfair representation of their views. They think that there was a famine that was exasperated by Kulaks that were mad their farms were being collectivized, and that there was no intent on the USSR side to cause a famine, pointing to aid that was sent to the region or a letter from Stalin(?) being taken aback that the local admin hadn’t been communicating this earlier and demanded that large efforts to alleviate the (impending?) famine go into place immediately

Anarchists are far-left but don’t curve back around to the right. Horseshoe theory only makes sense if you’re locked into state power as the medium for change.
I would go so far as to say horseshoe theory only works if you look at very specific groups and assume “left Vs right wing” is an actual linear thing instead of a very stupid oversimplification (that is nevertheless a useful shorthand a lot of the time)
Most would probably describe me as very left wing but no version of my beliefs could be taken to an extreme and end up as tankie beliefs.

Thanks for the in depth answer. I got it now.
Depends on who is calling you a tankie. If its a .world user then its anyone to the left of Ronald Regan politically.
Thanks for asking! I didn’t know fully but had ideas from context in other posts, but you’ve spurred really great conversation answering!
