    I think OP is upset that .ml accounts aren’t being banned or deleted.

    But it’s all bait, regardless. Most liberals only know the word “Tankie” to mean “People who down voted me on Reddit and don’t want to glass Beijing”.

    You’d be hard pressed to get anyone’s actual politics on the Hungarian Revolt of 1956 that goes farther than “Soviet Tanks Are Bad”.

        I haven’t seen this that often tbh. Is there really a lot of Pro Russia sentiment?

        Genuine question, is anti-nato anti-imperialism the same as “pro Russian” I’m not anti-nato however I can understand the sentiment

          In practice, they usually go hand in hand.

          The people who are “anti NATO”, or claim it is an imperialist organisation, almost always proceed to make excuses for Russia’s actions, or blame NATO for trying to expand for the invasion of Ukraine.

          No, there’s no pro-Russian sentiment, the people crying about “tankies” just consider all anti-Western sentiment to be inherently “pro-Russian”
