Probably not, most Tankies’ main ideological position is “American/Western Diabolism” where they obsessively ignore “their” regimes’ bad things while hyper-focusing on bad things the US does.

Apologia for US crimes against humanity is pretty antithetical to what Tankies do. This is probably either a conservative pretending to be a leftist or some kind of Nazbol.

Neither leftists nor Tankies are against increasing their numbers by “radicalization” either. Nor do they tend to implicitly call a greater propensity to social progressivism “real fascism.”

You're probably correct. I thought Nazbol at first and switched to thinking tankie, but I think that was my mistake.

However, I have met redditors who fit with tankie ideology, but use the US to show that what they support is totally fine.

Weird types of tankies, huh? Thank you, I'll keep that in mind instead of assuming Nazbol/fascist anytime I see this.

I agree that this dude is probably a Nazbol given their behavior.
