As for spreading their poison, I don’t think people are mindless automatons who must become awful when exposed to offensive rhetoric all day. If mere exposure is all it takes, then they probably lacked decent principles.

Tankies are kinda deceptive and manipulative tho. They pretend to be leftists, then when Mamdani gets elected, they started slandering him, calling him a “zionist” or some bs, even tho he’s a Muslim.

Reason why their shit doesn’t work on me is because I was born in one of those “communist” countries they constantly praise about, which is very contradictory to my lived experiences. I know enough to recognize tankie bs and also the far-right bs.
