        Are they tankies or just motivated actors working an angle of misinformation and disinformation? Genuinely, is there a tankie problem or is that a catch-all phrase here?

        I don’t know what going on anymore, I just keep seeing such radical far right /russian disinformation content and I don’t know how to make it stop. Is it a lemmy problem?

          Could be either one, but I’ve been working in leftist spaces for the last 30 years and every single tankie just complains about the CIA nonstop. If they stub their toe, they blame the CIA.
