Dunking on Tankies from a leftist perspective.

A tankie is someone who defends/supports authoritarian or even totalitarian regimes who call themselves "socialist". The term originated from people supporting the 1956 invasion of Hungary by the Soviet Union. Nowadays they are just terminally online, denying genocides, and falling for totalitarian propaganda and calling such regimes "true democracies". remember to censor usernames when necessary.

Are they all just going to lie and say Russia won anyway? Or will they just cry for these poor Ukrainians who are now part of Ukraine again? It's so hard to guess what is going on in their minds.

They will do what they have always done: Lie by calling themselves left, praise dictators and whine about "the evils of the west" or NATO expanding.

And we do what we always do and what is objectively correct: Laugh even harder at them coping, roping and seething over their boy Putin loosing and ruining his country.

I can't wait to remind them for the rest of their lives how much of a failure this was for them, as anyone should.

While I agree, the expression "Roping" kinda feels off considering what it implies.

I'd rather not make fun of suicidal people >_>
