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 itā€™s 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 didnā€™t disagree with what they were seeing on there. Let me know if thereā€™s a better place to ask or if thereā€™s 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.

    Find out what evidence they would accept that their view is wrong.

    Then deliver.

    Unfortunately, thereā€™s a chance theyā€™ll move the goalpost at that point. Then youā€™ll know that reasoning isnā€™t the solution.

      They said they didnā€™t see the moderation abuse I was purporting for one, and they werenā€™t just going to take my word for it.
