What did you watch, Innuendo Studios' How to Radicalize a Normie series or something? I find it kinda funny that you're being so vague about what exactly it is that bothers you about 'tankies' as opposed to other leftists because I'm pretty sure a lot of the people you're arguing with aren't Marxist-Leninists or anything. It's giving shadowboxing vibes.
If you think watching youtube and "connecting the dots" of forum comments is educating yourself you are even more ignorant than I had assumed. Learn history from reputable historians. Become familiar with even basic Marxist economics. Those are things that are actually meaningful and enlightening unlike poorly thought out youtube videos that primarily exist to hunt for low effort clicks. You're just cruising on pure vibes based analysis without any of the underlying knowledge of the subject.
You are literally talking out of your ass. If you were to educate yourself then you'd start out by asking questions and you wouldn't try to be evasive when challenged.
What you are actually doing is being a smug debate lord acting in bad faith, and if you could at least own up to it then we could all have a mucb more pleasant interaction.
