I have said from the very beginning that this was an op to tie “communism” to the far-right discourse. I literally predicted that it would come up in mainstream press when the moment comes. Well, guess what? Israel is in trouble so this piece needs to come out. So far everything tracks.

It's either that or the usual incoherent right wing bullshit wearing a coat of paint. Either way it's total bullshit.

It is incoherent right wing bullshit being funded by certain people who also helped with networking and connecting them with the right people.

Most low-level intelligence assets don’t even know who or which entity they’re working for. They get paid to do a job by their handler and that’s about it.

A Discord server – essentially a chat room – called “IGG MECHA-TANKIES”, linked to Al-Din’s show Infrared, has about 5,000 members and offers some insight into the movement’s internal dynamics.

This seems bad that they're calling themselves tankies
