In my admittedly limited experience, 100% of the people I’ve talked to who have made the accusation you’re making have lied about it.
And in my admittedly limited experience, 100% of the lefties accused of saying what you’re accusing them of saying, were explicitly not saying it.

- To cede that some tankies are like this? None
- To cede that this is representative of tankie culture? Quite a few, plus evidence that it’s not an inside joke or satire

- To cede that this is representative of leftie culture? I’d have a difficult time believing it wouldn’t be buried by counter examples.
Let’s start with, let’s say 5 posts from prominent communist communities that: a) are clearly mainly about this, b) are clearly not a joke, and c) clearly have broad support from within the community.
Those examples will give me a starting place to look around myself.

Fuck it, I’ll bite. I don’t usually indulge this kind of sealion stuff but I’m bored and waiting for my hair to dry before going to sleep.
- Support for compromise (Hexbear)
- NATO is winning, and that is bad
- NATO is losing, and that is good

- Literally a post about how redditors can’t believe they are real people who really believe this stuff. Number 5 top all time post in the sub.
All of these posts were gathered from the “top all time” posts in communities about Ukraine in hexbear and lemmygrad.
