    When I see a tankie I assume they’re a high schooler who just learned what leftist politics are or a mentally ill adult who never grew out of that stage.

      I try to keep an open mind about their situation but I think the majority of them are paid trolls. If you have a billion people you can afford to set some aside to troll the west online, trying to shift public opinions and create division.

        I agree except I save my open mindedness for people who aren’t usually bad actors.

        It’s not worth the time or erosion of sanity to give them the benefit of the doubt.
