    Yeah they’re not imperialist, the “People’s Republics” that keep popping up in different places and then get attacked by Russia to “protect them” are totally organic.

    Honestly this person has to be American. You hear so much less of this bullshit in Europe (although definitely not nonzero amounts… we have more than our share of idiots and fascists too, unfortunately), especially anywhere near Russia. “Russia isn’t imperialist” sounds so much dumber when their imperialism is happening right next door.

    It’s not like they’ve done any imperialist-like actions like attack a country unprovoked or anything LMAO

    What does 🔺🔻 emoji mean?

    I’d say about 50% of people I see with that emoji in their profile are tankies, while the other 50% are old school anti-authoritarian marxists.

      It’s a sign used by Hamas to mark military targets; some online use it as an expression of solidarity with Hamas.

          i don’t know the modern discourse. i thought it’s (pointing down) the symbol the nazis used to mark political prisoners (i. e. usually communists) in concentration camps, like the pink triangle for who they deemed to be “homosexuals”.
