This artist went out on the most ignominious note lmao, consistent left-punching bullshit every week or so right until the 2024 election, at which point they drop off the face of the earth

Posted every week or two right up to the end of last October, and not a peep since...

At least we're depicted as hot

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

lol I noticed that right away, too. Apparently we all work out and have giant biceps with washboard abs.

[–] Sulv@hexbear.net 12 points 1 week ago

That waistline is like model physique lol

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago

My read on that is that is that they want to convince communists to see the light of the DNC, so they can't be too mean if they want to leave the door open for "reconciliation".

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 52 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Libs thinking tankies like modern capitalist post-soviet Russia will never not be funny to me. Way to reveal you know nothing about communists or basic history from less than 50 years ago.

I have to tell my mom Russia isn't the Soviet Union anymore and is no longer communist. But of course gommunism = authoritarian dictatorship = evil dictator Vlabeanmir Putin. It's especially awful because she loves Cold War spy thriller slop.

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 25 points 1 week ago

The really telling thing is they can apparently make the distinction between Nazi and Post-War Germany even when the Western half was still being run by former nazis. Hell they even routinely try to rehabilitate the Wehrmacht every so often, like some sort of hobby.

But 3 decades after the collapse of the Soviet Union they can't point out Russian connections to Trump without festooning it with hammers and sickles.

And these are the same people who expect you to believe they are capable of nuance with other thorny geopolitical issues. Yet they all rallied around the flag when President Cheeto Election Fraud, Mr Russian Disinformatskaya himself, blew up an Iranian general in Iraq.

If you dislike something bad you're actually the same as hypothetical bad person who dislikes the bad thing for not being worse.

This artist is a turbo lib, many such comics

Proving once and for all that Russia is the real centrist. Or something.

[–] TankieTanuki@hexbear.net 32 points 1 week ago

Everything I dislike is because Russia.

If you think about it, they have to pretend right wing ideology is real and that ours is not real. Like they know colonialism exists, they know that America is an empire to some extent, they just think it's a good empire. They know there's no global conspiracy of multiculturalism. But if you want to do horseshoe theory, you have to equate the fake thing with the real thing. You make the fake thing true and the true thing fake. That's exactly how they help the right. In order for their worldview to make sense they have to validate right wing crankery. Otherwise, the thing we believe is true and they have to confront that.

To repeat what I wrote six months ago:

For the life of me I can’t remember seeing a Trump chump recommend collaboration with the Russian Federation. Some of them likely think that the Russian threat is overblown and that Imperial America should focus more on isolationism than worrying about Russians, but that’s about it.

Likewise, our preference for the Russian Federation over Imperial America and its Ukrainian client state isn’t deep.

That aside, it’s only natural for anticommunists to throw nuance out the window (at least when they aren’t the ones on the defensive) and resort to George Bush logic like ‘If you’re not with us, you’re against us.’ Nothing unexpected here.

Thank you, tovarshi

Knock the bottom panel all you want, but Mao somehow made that strategy work versus Japan.

[–] WeedReference420@hexbear.net 24 points 1 week ago

Whoever draws these comics seems to literally spend all day malding over an imaginary tankie that lives in their head

If this artist was active on lemmy there is a 100% chance they would be constantly shitflinging about the 'tankie triad'

The wise man hung his head and said "there's no difference between good and bad things, you absolute moron."

[–] ZeroHora@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 week ago

I mean, the meme with Giancarlo Esposito alone call bullshit on this.

[–] sodium_nitride@hexbear.net 15 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

This could be the start of a wholesome romcom and the tankie will convince the MAGA to abandon trump because trump hates gay people. They will also team up to destroy the American empire and in the final moments of the series one of them will die.

Why does the leftist guy not have upper teeth? It is so strange
