    Tankies almost always buy into the propaganda of foreign powers. I don’t think they’re a troll, just legitimately part of a community that reinforces very vile and incorrect beliefs.

      Russia literally pays for army of trolls writing and spreading their propaganda on social media in almost the entire EU. I’ve seen their posts in Polish social media - initial non controversial post, fake upvotes then smearing campaign in the comments - their’re doing this world wide. It seems that tankies are specifically vulnerable to this.

        Oh, they’re definitely parroting the propaganda peddled by Russian trolls, I just think they themselves are in good faith with their insanity.
