    “Refusing aid to a tyrannical murdering regime is just virtue signaling that hurts the innocent.”

    “Upholding a tyrannical murdering regime with aid is the same as performing its murders yourself.”

    Which one do tankies believe? Well, it depends on whether the tyrannical murdering regime is pro-US or anti-US.

        Funny, I called him out on being more interested invattacking Liberalism andsupporting fascist regimes than actually speaking out against human rights crimes, and noted that he has a concerning bias towards political spheres which currently have an approaching/ongoing election. My suspicion became that he’s a tankie programmer who happens to just like this space in his down time, but genuine Putin praising Russian citizen/asset was never really off the table.
