Tankies are Anti-Trump in Name Only lmao, it changes the second he does something they like

Tankies have always been extreme to the point of parody. They're so anti imperialist they end up supporting an imperialist nation (Russia). And they're so anti-West they end up supporting someone upsetting the Western order (Trump) despite representing it's worst excess. Tankies make more sense when you view them through the lense of being useful idiots for Russia, who deep down are radical authoritarian imperialists - the very thing they claim to hate.

China sentences Uyghur scholar to life in jail

Reply in thread

The Uyghur issue is on the other side of the world and entirely internal to China.

WW2 was an active threat to the entirety of Europe, there wasn't an option to ignore it. It was never a moral issue (to begin with) - plenty of Nazi supporters in Western nations. People don't go to war over moral issues. It was because Nazi Germany was actively threatening the Western order. China's oppression is domestic, and therefore easy to ignore.
