My friend, I would like to remind you as gently as possible that brainwashing does not exist and was in fact an orientalist lie popularized to explain away why US soldiers would support China.

The most offensive part of being called a tankie is being called British.

And which of those things were you responding to when you yelled "bootlickers" into the void just now?

Because from my point of view, you are the only one engaging in bad faith personal attacks here.

So yourself basically, just replace Russian puppet and tankie with bootlicker or NAFO supporter.
