Dunking on Tankies from a leftist perspective.

A tankie is someone who defends/supports authoritarian or even totalitarian regimes who call themselves "socialist". The term originated from people supporting the 1956 invasion of Hungary by the Soviet Union. Nowadays they are just terminally online, denying genocides, and falling for totalitarian propaganda and calling such regimes "true democracies". remember to censor usernames when necessary.

An 8-panel Phoebe Teaching Joey meme.

The first panel is Phoebe from Friends saying "Russia".

The second panel is Joey from the same show replying with "Russia".

The third panel is Phoebe saying "has invaded".

The fourth panel is Joey repeating back "has invaded".

The fifth panel is Phoebe saying "Ukraine".

The sixth panel is Joey repeating back "Ukraine".

The seventh panel is Phoebe saying the completed phrase "Russia has invaded Ukraine".

The final panel shows Joey proudly proclaiming "NATO just started a proxy war".

Oh, my bad! I read, "I am a human" and my brain inserted the word "not."

You are a human. Good work. And thank you for the reminder. I will try to include image transcriptions in the future.

All good, fellow human.

~~Good bot.~~ Thanks

[EDIT: my bad! I read "I am a human" as "I am NOT a human" for some reason.]

Oh, did it give a bad transcription?

The transcription is fine, just... !Transcription wrote that they're human. Are they a lying bot? If so, bad bot. Are they human? If so, then the bad bot is the bot detector!
