Tankies are the kind of people who would definitely sell their soul for Trump if they had read another single blog post few years ago.
-
Many of them may still do that anyway.

Conservatives don't agree with things. Conservatives agree with people.
And tankies are conservatives. It's not a political ideology. They're tribalists whose chosen ingroup is anyone doing leftist signalling. Same pattern of behavior as screeching for liberty and freedom while installing a king.

SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS
Fuck tankies.

Tankies have been anti-NATO since 1949. It has nothing to do with the Red v. Blue spectacle.
-
And they oppose NATO because they supported Soviet imperialism.
-
So if and when the US is no longer a member of NATO, the Tankies will openly support Trump?
-
A lot of them already openly support Trump and promoted him actively on Hexbear and Lemmygrad before the election.
-
No. Why would we?

Am I missing something? Aren't tankies just ancap? Also what is Trump saying that is anti capitalism?
-
AnCaps are idiots that accept the Austrian school of economics.
Tankies are in general poorly educated leftists with limitied logical processing skills.
-
Tankies supposedly oppose capitalism, and they only support anarchism when it's in the West.
The term is derived from those who sided with the tanks when the USSR rolled into towns and later when the CCP sent the military on their own citizens during an event that resulted in millions of deaths across their nation. You know, "communists" but without any power in the hands of the workers.
-
Tankies are Russian and Chinese imperialists. They hate America for its imperialism, but love Russia and China for theirs. They're also very pro-genocide while simultaneously denying genocides.
AnCaps want a stateless society, but it is a misdirection to install neo-feudalism. For some reason they believe they'll be on top.
-
Ancap is anarcho-capitalism, e.g. screw the government, stateless society where capitalism is king. Not entirely the tankie viewpoint.
-
"Not even close, babyyyyyyy." They might claim some different underlying beliefs, but in practice, just like Libertarians, they're just conservatives trying to hide the fact that they're conservatives by cosplaying as other groups.
