Agreed. The campsite I’ve seen here are usually authoritarian in some capacity (at least implicitly). They just want their *own* brand of authoritarianism rather than american/western hegemony while larping that supporting said governments are “anti-imperialist” when said governments are often similarly colonialist to the US.

Because tankies are anti-western to the point of genocide denial. See Noam Chomsky denying genocide in the Yugoslav wars because of sympathies with Milosevic for being a “socialist.”
