Ah yes, because in those glorious worker paradise countries they generate no pollution at all.
Typical fucking tankie smooth brain logic. π
In case any of you filthy tankies can actually learn, China is the number 1 polluter per capita.
What's a tankie?
Originally, it was used to describe those who defended the use of tanks to stop the Hungarian revolution 1956 (i think)
Now its used to describe those that align with Marxism-leninism (also i think)
Loaded question is going to get loaded answers but:
Marxist-identifying people who like to glorify oppressive regimes, usually Stalin's USSR and Mao's China. Fascists disguised as communists.
And what makes you think this meme has anything to do with them?
You know that tankies are a small minority in global northern leftism?
I could see people who criticize the west being called tankies, but it seems like a reach to infer that criticism of capitalism means praise of whatever China is doing.
Lmao classic political elitist logic: if youβre not going after the biggest problem directly youβre doing it wrong
Talk about a smooth brain lol
Says the person clearly towing the tankie party line that climate destruction is caused exclusively by the west. π
Typical tankie strawman approach of misrepresentation and straight up hyperbolic bullshit.
You literally just used an argument from fallacy while bitching about me somehow having set you up for a strawman (fucking where???)
Youβve made 0 real points, called names, and bitched and moaned. Go back to lurking in your own misery and do the rest of the readers a favor before you cause anymore brain damage
Use phrases like argumentum ad logicam incorrectly. Check
Projects their own lack of self-esteem. Check
Makes no points about the subject, just the character. Check
Yep you are operating at peak tankie regurgitation level comrade. You earn the red star of delusion.
