Tankies.
You can't have a discussion about anything without some tankie blaming it on Ukrainians / the west / capitalism, etc.
"Oh you stubbed your toe on the table? See, tables are oppressive furniture of the bourgeoisie. The Chinese government wanted to make all tables toe-stubbing resistent, but that would affect IKEA's bottom line and the pharmaceutical industry's profits. I have a source from tankiepeoplesmagazine to back this up."
If you don't mind selfhosting, miniflux is pretty nice.
Really lightweight, downloads the full text if possible (instead of just the first paragraph), etc.
Obviously it was the Ukrainian Nazis that caused the explosion. /s
Because one can be pinned down to government involvement, while the other can't.
It's the classic CCP defense: "We're not an authoritarian country, you're just racist!".
EDIT: not saying that it was or wasn't a lab leak, but as soon as the government shoots down the possibility with "you're racist", I immediately get suspicious. The same way that I get suspicious when Israel shoots down criticism with "you're just anti-Semitic". It's basically gaslighting with identity politics.
Americans keep culturally appropriating Italy, first pizza and now fascism. smh
Ah yes, right wing nationalism is a problem exclusively in Ukraine. Russia invading a neighbour has nothing to do with Russification.

You're also an American tankie who seems to have a knewjerk reaction of blaming everything on a group of Ukrainian white nationalists.
Italians are perfectly capable of having their own home-grown right wing clowns. They invented fascism after all.
Russia is not even pretending to be communist anymore. It's a full blown corrupt capitalist oligarchy. But just because it's not an US ally, they will defend it.
I’m black fyi so no, I’m not going anywhere, you however will be leaving with your nazi trash
What does that have to do with anything?
You accused the website of being Nazi, when it has a left-leaning bias. How does being black make any difference regarding an uninformed opinion like that?
Lol, classic American take, thinking that they know anything about other places besides the state they live in.
I've always leaned left, and not in the "American Democrat" way. I've read Marx, Engels, Kropotkin, Luxemburg, etc. Not that I agree with them on everything, but they make good points.
But every day I see tankies defend Russia just because it's not the US, I feel like I'm moving more center just out of spite.
Have a look at comments in any news article regarding Ukraine. They will simp for Russia just because they are not US allies.
A tankie is commonly used to refer to someone who blindly defends the actions of the USSR, China, North Korea, etc. Going as far as denying human rights abuses and genocide.
It's not the same thing as woke.
