I disagree - these seem different than tankies.
I mean, don’t get me wrong, tankies love to do the same (example on lemmygrad), but there’s more than that now. Not all extreme leftists are tankies and quite frankly the reverse is true to a much higher degree than tankies will admit either.
Here, or here but that’s hexbear.
That’s why I’ve started calling it the Alt-Left, and I notice that I’m not the only one, especially see this exchange from long before the election.
Here’s one from a year ago that seems to have been deleted, which a search is able to show but clicking it will not - so odd!? TurtlePower@lemm.ee said:
Because they are the opposite of the alt-right: they are the alt-left. They are not actually leftist, just like the alt-right isn’t actually conservative. They are both just plain fascist.
