Caspian Report released a nice video today which gives some important context and background to Wagner's crucial role in Russia's interests in Africa.

I think we can all agree that the real victims are the Russians who have to live with the trauma of Ukrainians not liking them because of their attempted genocide.

I feel bad for Perun. He always puts in the incredible hard work on his videos. And then he's a day or two from release and someone loving insane happens. Every time.

I did fall asleep reading a particularly erotic chapter
in my grandmother's journal.

She wrote very detailed descriptions of her experiences...
"Tankie" is a fun word and all but can we cut to the chase and just call them commies? Cause it's what they are. I know someone's gonna be like "but Marx etc., etc.!" But come on, that ship sailed generations ago. When people talk about "communists," this is who they're referring to.

Like if someone asks "why the hell would anybody be on Russia's side" and you tell them "they're tankies," you'll still have some explaining to do. But if you say "they're commies," they'll understand exactly the type of person you're talking about immediately.

They're just aggro, IMO. I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure Karl Marx had some choice words about war, where tankies seem to just be Hoxha-ist violence enthusiasts.

"Commies" is what chuds call leftists/Democrats, so probably not a good idea to go that route.

To make this a WWE plotline, Prig is once again allied with Putin and will invade from Belarus. However at the last second before the power bomb they turn around and clothesline Putin and declare themselves the new head of WWE, much like Triple H.

Nah. I'm fine with genuine "let the workers own the means of production" communists. I'm more of a social democrat myself, but it's a nice utopia. Tankie is a convenient description for the subset that defends dictatorships because they have a veneer of communism. Admittedly an unpleasantly large subset, but that's no reason to go all McCarthy.

No, because 'Communist' isn't an accurate description of their values or intentions. They are against American imperialism in any form, real or imagined, at any cost: even if it means support of obviously evil regimes. Anyone outside their weird horseshoe ideology is an enemy, even if it is still leftist.

I know a few ''commies'' through a friend of a friend. We bang into each other at the pub and have a chat. They don't like Putin and disagree with this war and think NATO is right for helping Ukraine. I've also known other ''commies'' over the years and they all have one thing in common. They hate tankies with a passion. C word bombs get dropped every 5 words and in their eyes, tankies do a lot of damage to their idealogy so I'll probably be keeping tankie and commie seperate personally.

As a commie who absolutely supports Ukraine and NATO’s support for them, this is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever read. I don’t know a single communist in real life who supports Russia or doesn’t hate Stalin/tankies/the hyper authoritarian wankers who give us a bad name. I think it’s largely a ‘way too online’ thing if I’m honest.
