Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.
Rules:
- Be civil and no bigotry of any kind.
- No tankies or right-wingers. Liberals are allowed so long as they are aware of this
- No genocide denial
We allow posts about tankie behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion. For a more general community [email protected] is recommended.

Yeah they're not imperialist, the "People's Republics" that keep popping up in different places and then get attacked by Russia to "protect them" are totally organic.
Honestly this person has to be American. You hear so much less of this bullshit in Europe (although definitely not nonzero amounts… we have more than our share of idiots and fascists too, unfortunately), especially anywhere near Russia. "Russia isn't imperialist" sounds so much dumber when their imperialism is happening right next door.
Russian propaganda targeting EU has to be more sophisticated since EU residents know Russian history better.
She's from Seattle, or thereabouts.
Spent 10 minutes on her twitter profile, she's got pics of herself at a pro Palestine protest where she says she's in Seattle.
I am also from Seattle, the roadways and signage and trees match the area.
She also apparently doesn't actually speak Chinese... she posted/shared a video claiming it shows a school in China, with a person burning Japanese and Israeli flags outside of a building with a large sign ... which is community noted with 'It clearly say this is a hot pot restaurant.'
She is almost certainly a fairly well off 2nd or 3rd generation daughter of immigrants.
