They moved to the In Defense of Russia thread where shitty posting is more accepted.
Yes, might just be thread they use now. If so, no problem.
Selective endpoints, to name one. One thing he did was go off on the US $ losing ground vs. foreign currencies. Yes, the dollar has been down for the last 6 months or so, but it had formerly hit a very high peak, note. I didn’t click on any of his links note, but simply checked out the recent graph for the dollar.
Ejection from Ukraine invasion thread? Could that mean a certain other poster has certain footwear here?
I don’t think so. He’s been here a surprisingly long time.
Doesn’t post like k-kat
Agreed, I don’t really see any similarities, never even occurred to me before.
My take is still that he’s a MAGAt in full-on cult mode having a seizure due to Trump’s indictment.
Or he could be a lefty tanky. They exist, and are super annoying. I almost got in a fight with one the other day. Think of TERFS but pro-Russia instead of anti-trans.
Doubtful, considering his behavior in the “Joe Biden doing badly” thread and the “Musk / Twitter” Pit thread.
Not going to plow through a troll filled thousand post thread, but tankies hate Biden as much as magats do, if not more. No idea about Musk, but troll calls to troll.
That said I don’t know the dude and can’t read his mind, so I’ll drop the speculation.
Wait, what’s a “tanky” in this context?
“Tankie” is a perjorative for leftists who support authoritarian Communist/Socialist states and leaders. I think it’s more used in England than in the U.S., as the same question came up with someone started the “Roger Waters is a tankie” thread in the Pit a few months ago.
The name comes from certain leftists supporting Stalin when he sent tanks to crush a revolt in Hungary.
Stalin was dead when that happened. Khrushchev sent the tanks.
The term tankie did come from that conflict.
Goddammit. Of course you’re right. What an embarrassing brain fart.
They were still scared of him, tho.
But Khrushchev blamed Stalin. And it worked.
Check out jag70r who just jumped into the “I don’t understand the intensity of the hatred for Trump” thread.
Full on apologist, using the classic zombie and brainwashed terminology. And a recent join (Feb) with practically no posting or reading history.
I feel they’re trolling for liberal tears and not much more. I dropped one piece of snark and will now go back to DNFTT mode.
Most definitely smells like a trock.
ralfy just dropping turds all over the joint. You just know he isn’t reading the threads at all.
Their first post in that thread was highly insulting to other posters. I wish it had been flagged rather than replied to. Thankfully a later post was flagged.
But the Troll who was indeed very likely a Trock is BANNED and I cornfielded his 3 posts and the 7 replies he got.
