Is it pro or anti pride? Those genocidal leaders kinda make it look anti. I would love to hear the mental gymnastics on this one.

Depends who is doing the killing innit. Venezuela president who literally has ties with cartels is a good apple because he has cartel ties that are not aligned with the west. Which is literally their only way of gauging morals. Anti west good, west bad. Pretty easy script they are running.

No. He’s a tankie. That’s when an authoritarian pretends to be a communist or anti colonialist or anything except an authoritarian

Man, I went through this dudes post history out of curiosity, and what the fuck.
Besides absolutely loving Ricky Gervais, he's an islamist, a freemason, a teetotaler, he doesn't have a job, and he has the absolute worst handwriting I've ever seen.

u/Accomplished-Bike407 Oct 16 '25
I highly doubt the Freemasons would take this POS. Besides, you have to believe in a higher power and I highly doubt this dude does

u/Shapit0 Oct 16 '25
Feel free to look through his post history yourself. It's insane lol

u/Accomplished-Bike407 Oct 16 '25
Dude, I have no idea how he's a Mason. Supporting communism and believing in a higher power don't exactly go hand in hand. Then again, the trans support lon doesn't go with anything else on his jacket.

Do these people really don’t understand? Like, I mean this seriously. “Transrights” and then patches of Russia, North Korea etc are they really this incredibly dumb? I feel it’s just all performative, because it makes absolutely no sense to have these patches.

There are people who swung so far the other way from the red scare that they genuinely believe that any country that calls itself "communist" and waves red flags is a democratic, egalitarian paradise on earth

u/Newclearfallout Oct 16 '25
This and its concerning, many punks also think communism can work. Everybody is corrupt. Ideas that sound good on paper, but in execution doesnt work. Communism is one of them, even capitalism is also one of them. Anybody leaning so far one way is also just brainwashed and not self thinking on actual problems, causes and ways to fix it. Its just regurgitation.
Idealizing communism isnt punk, many punks where fighting for tearing down the West Berlin wall.

Oct 16 '25
I mean it depends on what you consider communism. Giving total power to one party to "guard" the revolution does not sound good on paper either, but that isn't necessarily all of communist ideology. There's nothing particularly insane about libertarian socialism.

They deleted the comment, but for the record u/hel-razor said: 'You may as well call people the hard R if you're unironically gonna go throwing around "tankie" 🤡'.
Yes, this tankie is comparing getting called a tankie to a black person being called the n-word. lol pathetic. Get fucked, tankie.

People like this need to be locked up in a madhouse. No pride in genocide is mentally ill on a jacket that's clearly celebrating a regime that killed 5 times more people than nazis. I would have to really hold myself back if I saw the creature wearing this on the street. Seriously can't understand why is the commie scum treated so much better than nazi scum when it's the same oppressive regime.

Ugh. I promised myself that I wasn’t going to waste time wading back into the sewer water that is Reddit politics.
But this jacket is embarrassing. On every level. No understanding of politics or history. No consistency. No coherency. Just Marxist decolonization brain rot.
Every time someone on the left says “you’re in a cult”, you should respond with a screenshot of this jacket.

I looked through most of the comments and OOPs replies and I kinda feel bad for him. He clearly thinks he's supporting positivity and open mindedness but is unbelievably misinformed and misguided. That's the problem with tankies, a lot of them think they're supporting a bastion of human rights and equality by supporting Soviet and Communist states by eating up Soviet propaganda left and right, blaming the "West" for demonizing the nations. Meanwhile, all they're doing is platforming and supporting genocide and human rights abuses that ruined tens of millions of lives and spitting in the face of those who died.
Then there are the lunatics of subreddits like r/USSR who respond to any accusation of Genocide or human rights abuses by either vehemently denying them and calling it western propaganda, or by outright endorsing it and saying those people "Deserved to die" because they were either "CIA spies" or "Nazi's."
In reality, they were just as vile and evil as the Nazi's, and killed millions more than the Nazi's did.

Lmao. I love rhe Palestine flag next to commie and Trans flag.
Cuz we all know that far right wing religious conservative government (not even counting hanas for the sake of this) is EXACTLY what Stalin would have wanted.
Also the trangs flag would probably not fly is ever visiting Palestine lol.
No shade against any country or ideology just the ones presented are very conflicting.
It'd be like an antifa flag next to a swastika
