Nah, your just missing the point that being able to say "America is somewhat bad" makes up for fully supporting all of the US's foreign policy positions. There must be genocide in Xinjiang because the fascist evangelical German that wrote a book about how cool the apocalypse will be because you get to watch all the Jews burn in a lake of fire said that it is a genocide. It is only half of why you have to hate the ICC because they err the other way by saying that Israel is committing genocide. So they are silent on the Chinese genocide while being wrong about the Palestinian "genocide".

So are Hexbear and Lemmygrad not tankies? What tankies are you talking about that advocates for bad positions and are opposed to Hexbear and Lemmygrad or any other left instance on the Fediverse?
Gee, only Russian and Chinese bots could advocate for the Good Thing. Everyone that disagrees with me must be a Russian/Chinese bot.
Tankie anthem that will get you banned from reddit and .world for promoting political violence.
Johnson was able to reintegrate the planters into the political establishment. Unfortunately, John Wilkes Booth won.
hahaha, HaHaHa, HAHAHA! The origin story for both the original Hexbear and Lemmygrad community is being banned from reddit for "promoting political violence" for John Brown memes and saying Sherman's march to the sea was good. Perfect case of projection.
More like 19th century liberals: "We have to find a proper compromise with the slavers. I hate all of these tankie ~~Russian~~ Union bots saying this is about slavery. We all know this is about states rights and freedom!"
No, it is not the unwillingness to call out infractions. It is more the extreme disproportionality of liberals. The invasion of Ukraine is such a historical evil that any explanation of it (outlawing of Russian in school and government documents, being worried about NATO expansion, etc.) is excusing the Putin Regime that does evil only because they like evil and have no other motivation than maximizing evil. So any Russian that isn't currently attempting to overthrow the government is an evil orc that deserves death.
But all of the wars of aggression and invasions the US made in the 21st century means that the US is slightly flawed and being too left or wanting to overthrow the government is too far. We need to hold our nose and vote for Democrats because they might make the invasions slightly more limited and be more polite while funding the Israeli genocide.
But that is actually the real issue that Liberals take issue with. Explaining that there are motivations beyond Putin being evil and that all of the US's wars of aggression makes it the worst state in the current world, rather than a flawed and imperfect democracy that should still be the model for the world is what makes one a tankie.
