I just watched the new We’re In Hell today and my eyes totally didn’t roll back into my skull when he mentioned tankies and authoritarianism. Tankies are after all a very real phenomenon that definitely exists, and the term obviously describes something that is both specific and also bad. Boy oh gee I’m sure glad this funny Canadian mustache man isn’t one of those guys! I can’t imagine watching him if he were!
Uh, I don’t wanna be sectarian but I think we should hear sides from both these “tankies” side he’s talking to and him. Surely, this western leftist doesn’t have these western exceptionalist tint to him (used to watch him before)…
He said something like, “Like I’m not a tankie but this is one way authoritarian regimes are just legitimately better,” while talking about how liberal democracies by their nature are just bad at planning transit infrastructure. He didn’t bring up “tankies” or “authoritarianism” again after that point.

I haven’t seen it yet, did he actually talk about tankies? Oh god I thought he was good.

Hmmm
What’s that emoji mean?
That I think it’s Sus but nothing more
I always took it as initial interest that will ultimately lead to disinterest
It’s versatile I guess
