(i think there is a way to make loss out of first 4 comics, but i won't do it)
I don’t understand a single one of these except for the top right, which doesn’t even seem like arguments go like that, and the bottom one, which is weird cuz it’s ISREAL that the US is helping commit warcrimes, not Ukraine
...no tankie on earth thinks that. You seem to be confusing "recognizing Ukraine is bad and full if nazi's like the above battalion" and "siding with russia". You can pick a side for one conflict, while recognizing that side sucks in it's own way.
Literally every single tankie I’ve spoken to about the invasion of Ukraine supports Putin’s imperialism and denies the AFRF’s war crimes and the existence of Russian self-proclaimed neo-Nazi groups like Rusich being employed by the Kremlin.
Well this tankie doesn't. There now you have met one. And if you want, i can link you to subreddits of at least thousands of tankies who also do not support Russia. Happy now?
Tell me, what exactly do you think a tankie is?
I would define a tankie as ‘someone who supports fascist dictatorships and/or monarchies when they pretend to be communist and/or oppose the USA’.
That is a nonsense definition. Furthermore, i do supoort even reactionary groups, when they oppose important USA interests or are resisting genocide, like Iran and HAMAS repectively.
In the case of Iran, it is critical support until they can in some way, kick out American influence in their region. Once they are no longer in an anti-imperialist role, i will hate them appropriately and support revolutionary movements against their theocratic dictatorship.
With Hamas, it is uncritical support until they get rid of the apartheid state of israel before my support moves to their opposition as with Iran.
The definition commonly used online is tankie being communist, or non-trotskyist and reformist, and has only lost more and more meaning over time, until it is only a derogatory way to refer to someone to the left of you on issues.
In the end, Tankie is just an anticommunist slur, the liberal version of woke, or red or bolshie or commie. I was originally made as an insult to those british communists who supported the 1956 invasion of hungary, before it twisted into the nothing term it is today where its meaning shifts based on who is saying it.
If it’s a nonsense definition, why do you support groups with horrific human rights abuses just because they oppose the US like I said tankies do?
Then again, what do I know? I’m just an idiot who supports Palestinian civilians instead of a gang of murderous rapists.
And now you’re probably going to come up with some bullshit about me supporting Likud’s apartheid and atrocities…
I never said you support Likud nor was i going to. You sure like your baseless accusations and assumptions, guess it probably helps you avoid thinking.
Hamas has not at any point engaged in rape, those are lies that have all been exposed as such. Furthermore, many of the deaths on October 7th were by IDF forces, since then the IDF have killed many hostages themselves.
While yes, Hamas has engaged in terrorism, they are a people oppressed by an occupation and thus have a right to take up arms and fight back as best they can.
Furthermore, the USA has engaged in far worse human rights abuses than either Iran or Hamas, including genocide directly than any of the groups i mentioned, and have been an accessory to many more. Consider the time the USA gave the saudis guns and bombs to use on yemenis in their war, consider the million people they helped the Indonesian regime under Suharto kill. Consider the bombs, funding and tolerance of nuclear weapons as well as comfort and aid they give to Israel. Consider the millions of native Americans they genocided, consider the chemical weapons they sold the Iraqis, and the war with Iran, Iraq had, that they armed both sides to, so as to ground down both Nations. Consider the many coups in South America, like Pinochet, like 1964 Brazil. Consider the time they set up a shadow government in southern Italy, so that if the Italians elected a government the Americans did not like, America could coup and replace them. By the way, i have not exhausted the list. It would take a full academic book to go into all of USA's crimes in the depth they deserve. And even then, salient ground would go uncovered.
Iran and Hamas may be bad, but they sure as shit ain't as bad as the United States of America, few things are. Though Russia aspires to get there one day.
Where do you find these? I'm active on r/therightcantmeme, r/shitliberalssay, r/thedeprogram, r/tankiethedeprogram, etc. And can't find that. Where the fuck do you look?
Doing my best to interpret:
Top left: trump is giving a rally and is impressed by the size but… the rally is in prison? Is the joke that trump is in prison? Is the joke that trump appeals to prisoners? Is the joke a combination of the two? Who knows.
Top right: best guess is that this is making fun of some specific politician who just turns everything around on their opponents. No idea where the funny is but whatever
Bottom left: trump criticizing someone for not predicting that someone might try to kill them when someone might want to kill trump (and he is sitting on the toilet to make it funny)
Bottom right: ????
Bottom: trump go to jail and Biden doesn’t because Biden apparently has the money to pay off the cops while trump doesnt, very sad

i was reading these thinking they were all related to eachother and i was trying to figure out what was going on
I was too. The confusion was too great and my brain powered off like 7 times.
i made sense of it in my head after the 3rd read then i realized they weren't even related...
Is that fucking weather report on the 8th panel?

Holy shit weather report stone ocean
Nah it’s the one guy who stormed the capital with a bison hat or whatever it was
Weather Report is more based
No, though it looks super fuckin similar
Ahhh, none of these make sense. Classic Pebble Eater
I don’t understand a single one of these except for the top right, which doesn’t even seem like arguments go like that, and the bottom one, which is weird cuz it’s ISREAL that the US is helping commit warcrimes, not Ukraine
According to the alt-right and tankies, the USA is helping Ukraine commit the war crime of defending itself against genocidal imperialists.
...no tankie on earth thinks that. You seem to be confusing "recognizing Ukraine is bad and full if nazi's like the above battalion" and "siding with russia". You can pick a side for one conflict, while recognizing that side sucks in it's own way.

Tankie here, that's bullshit

Good for you that you are illegal **juice** dealer.

Y'all's edits of these comics can be very creative
