I know someone that thinks tankies are allies against American imperialism, and they say that any movement to the left is better than capitalism, even if itās Russia or CCP branded leftism. They say that nothing that Russia or CCP has done is worse than what American imperialism. This all came up after I mentioned the tankie triad, and they said they were subscribed to multiple communities on there and didnāt disagree with what they were seeing on there. Let me know if thereās a better place to ask or if thereās any other threads or resources I should refer them to. I will be forwarding this thread to them, so your help would be greatly appreciated.
This is one of those cases where you canāt use logic to talk someone out of a position they didnāt use logic to get into, itās probably going to take an emotional appeal. Also try not to be confrontational, attacking their beliefs might just cause them to get defensive and shut down processing what you say.
