        I am not right wing. Believe it or not it’s possible to be left leaning and not spew gibberish like “NATO made putin invade”, “NK is a vanguard against imperialism” and “everything I don’t like is a GIA psyop”.

        More so if for example you speak fluent russian, you’ve lived there for multiple years and you’ve studied the history of russian imperialism (be it in the form of the USSR or its current form).

        I wouldn’t say Chomsky is a tankie, but his involvement with US oligarchs and authoritarians does make one wonder…

        FYI, I consider tankies to be supporters of authoritarian state capitalism and the genocidal imperialist policies of such models.

            The word “liberal” in a political context means something different in the rest of the world.

            This another funny thing about you tankies. You have zero clue about anything. It’s just online edgelord roleplay or open demagoguery if one wants to be less charitable.

            You even did the lame “Shut the fuck up liberal” thing.

            You can’t even get your insults correct because your so tied up with American-style online roleplay.

              Liberals in other countries are still pro-capitalist, you may now commence to shutting the fuck up
