I feel like the tankies have become the boogeymen of lemmy. I haven’t seen a real one in ages, just people talking about how they’re coming… Any day now…
I think it’s due to lemmy.world defederating from some of the louder instances that I’ve seen way less content of that nature. Not 0 of it, but at least it’s not shouting over the top of every single post I see while browsing the All Communities list.
I agree with you but one has to acknowledge the proficiency of the US Army. The sheer amount of equipment they have coupled to the good training and 1st class logistics makes it a force the Russian army would not be able to recon with.
Shit the Afghanistan war cost them $300 million per DAY for 20 years. No one else can do imperialism as good as the US Army.
The US army is very good at logistics, which doesn’t make them cool. It does make them awesome in the literal sense, and unfortunately makes them a very effective tool of global imperialism.
There are lots of tankies in the West. I interpreted the use of the Canadian flag in the comic to just indicate that it was one of those over-enthusiastic tankaboos rather than an actual Russian defending their own military strength. It could have just as easily been a US or Euro flag to get the point across. I don’t think it’s a commentary on Canadians specifically.
Can’t wait for the Tankies to start flooding in with their mental gymnastics. Either that or they’ll just call you “evil liberal” lol.

lemmy.world defederated from them, so that might be part of it

Ah, yes, us army is cool and awesome, not a weapon of global imperialism at all.

This but unironically.
It can only be unironic if you don’t understand history or geopolitics.
Why would a Canadian say that?
