    It’s not “fringe left” or “fringe right” (not that that means anything consistent in the first place), it’s just anyone dumb enough to incorporate “Russia are unequivocally good and the US going against them are unequivocally bad” into their thinking.

      Yeaaaaaaah… I wasn’t sure what to use as the title. By the time I had captioned the meme, I realized it didn’t exclusively describe tankies. It also describes Tucker Carlson’s whole audience.

      In hindsight, I probably could have said, “Tankies and far right.” There did not need to be symmetry in my statement.

        No worries, everyone does it. Also didn’t realize this was “/c/Tankiejerk”.
