If showing solidarity with victims of Amerikan imperialism makes me a tankie, i'll prefer that over being a white supremacist warmonger who justifies the bombing of brown people in "shithole countries" like literally everybody who calls people a tankie online.

No worries, that’s not what makes someone a tankie

So what if i say "China is far from perfect, but the people there are a lot happier with their government than the Amerikans, they are much less of a threat geopolitically, maybe we should leave them alone because it's honestly none of our business how the Chinese govern themselves"? Is it the usual 50 cent wumao genocide denier tinaman square then?

That's not how the world works in the year 2023. Isolationism just isn't a conceivable possibility. All countries are interconnected, and what's happening in one country influences what's happening in other countries in major ways.

Isolationsim isn't "let's not act hostile towards this country" you absolute ghoul.

A ghoul isn’t “an attractive and intelligent person” you absolute pumpkin.

I'll take being a beloved halloween decoration over being a chauvinist warmonger.
