It was cross posted from a .ml comm to the closest relevant non-.ml comm as part of on-going boycott efforts due to the misinformation and propaganda spreading/narrative enforcement that the admins and mods of .ml do to push tankie ideology.

Tankies generally praise authoritarian governments such as Russia or China and deny the wrongdoings of them. For example, they often push the Russian propaganda that Ukraine was "full of Nazis" and Russia did nothing wrong.

Just recently they started pushing the propaganda that Russia invaded as a simple "diplomatic maneuver"
