      They absolutely can move to their favourite places. Iran, China, Russia – But they never do. They’re very lazy. Or perhaps deep down they know that their entire being is a trend that they latched onto to look better.

            I think a ton of them are, yeah. They’re kids who were fed propaganda about the USA being the greatest country in the world and after correctly realising it’s bullshit, they just flipped everything in their heads and started believing the exact opposite - and since they were told the USSR was a shithole, it must mean it’s a paradise on Earth.

            The pendulum swings from one extreme to the other.

              I do know that there are at least a few tankies from Iran, Turkey, China and Russia. (I’ve seen comments from them)

          I mean China, Russia and any other authoritarian nation.

          They are probably a result of brain washing done by authoritarian governments
