Not that meme is wrong, but the account that posted that comment is 3 days old and is clearly a troll.
There are a bunch of regular posters here that think the exact same way.
You can see by the 85% like ratio on this post that 15% of this community thinks this way.
I'm neither a tankie nor a maga but disagree with it. This weird all or nothing, "if you're not with us you're against" us shit is toxic. It's toxic to you and your goals.
You'll have to lie in the bed you shit in, but hopefully you manage to see who took the shit instead of blaming whatever group you can to not take responsibility.
I mean as if these people aren't all just trolls to some extent.
It takes either great malice, great idiocy, or a great and terrible combination of the two to be a supporter of this shit.
We need a new name for Russian state sponsored spam other than "troll", which should be restored to the original status as a perpetually online nerd who enjoys starting arguments.
I call trump supporters Redcaps after the especially blood thirsty kind of Goblin
What's a similarly degrading fantasy creature that's known for being a mindless parrot of whatever is said to it by its master? Or would that fit the people who fall for the state trolls better?
Thrall.
Grom, more like.
Most trolls are state sponsored narrative promoting spam now so the perpetually online nerd who like starting arguments should get a new name.
How about artyom?
Nah, there's folks actually named that, a lot of whom are very against this all.
It's gotta be a creature or a thing or some other kind of title for it to work best as a generalized name.
What's wrong with vatnik ? I don't see that used much anymore and it felt more appropriate, imo.
Didn't land enough as an insult
So how have we established this is even a 'Tankie' to begin with?
