Trying to get a better understanding on the whole tankie thing, found this study that seems unbiased. It looks at their online behavior. I would appreciate others review of the study, even if just bullshit or facts.
Jeebus these people are exhausting, they also spray so much disinformation. They remind me of MAGAts.
I don’t yet have a feel for the dynamics like I do with MAGAts. How much of it is organized with handlers and such vs. organic true believers?
Almost all true believers, I would say. People have an incredible capacity for consuming and regurgitating bullshit, as anyone who’s been a part of a conservative community and escaped can tell you.
Who needs handlers when the useful idiots eat from your trough willingly?
They’re not much different than the pseudointellectuals on the American right, the kind of college kids who publicly idolized William F. Buckley Jr and read serious theology, but in private and anonymously were as 4channed as any open “Replacement Theory” twat.
