    The great majority of the world’s “tankies” aren’t from the Global North but from the Global South and from actually-existing socialist states like China, Vietnam, and Cuba.

      Totally!

      They don’t look at you and see a demagogue who is roleplaying online, oh no.

      It’s funny how you talk big about the “global south” and “actually-existing socialist states” and yet you have a very orientalist and honestly racist worldview.

      You think people in Cuba or say Vietnam are idiots who can’t see through basic bullshit.

        The best part of this comment is how it implies that people from China, Cuba, or Vietnam are just one big unit that all think and act the same, all while baselessly accusing davel of orientalism.

        You should try to set your own bar at basic honesty and see how it works out for you.
