By equating corruption to treason, Zelenskyy’s office is manipulating the public’s desire for justice, said Vitaly Shabunin, head of the Anti-Corruption Action Center (Antac), a Ukrainian nongovernmental organization that monitors graft. In reality, Shabunin added, Zelenskyy’s office is pursuing other goals: to protect high-level officials from corruption charges and obtain tools to destroy opponents.
I’ve heard this term on Lemmy and pretty much nowhere else. What is a tankie?
Authoritarian communist, it can be hard to pin down what they stand for, because they aren’t clear on much except, “death to America”, and a hatred of capitalism (understandable tbh). They tend to be pro-Russia and pro-China.
I’ve heard the term a while, but lemmy is the first time I actually interacted with any.
It’s such a broken mindset. They just want to trade one set of chains for another. China and Russia aren’t even communist anymore. They are both capitalist with totalitarian characteristics.
Huh, TIL. Thanks!
