    What liberals think tankies think:

    The Confederacy fought the US, so that means I like them

    What tankies actually think:

    The US is the Confederacy and that’s why I hate it

      The OP is definitely sarcastic. It’s very clearly mocking people who simp for countries like Russia simply because of their adversarial relationship with the United States. I have never once seen a liberal sincerely assert that tankies like The Confederacy.

        OBVIOUSLY we should care because it’s the internet and loud minorities dominate here, skewing our perception of reality and what political opinions are worth debating today, despite being fringe and unfeasible IRL /s

        ya that Neo Slavery video by knowing better helped to open my eyes as to just how badly the americans luuuived slavery and racism truthfully. Same tjing with ‘Some More News’ video about ‘Systematic Racism Doesnt Exist’

        Very few textbooks cover this topic of what happened to Black and Indigenois people from 1867-1968 and even after that.
