Summary

Yewleea sat down with Charles McBryde, a social media influencer, self-described "freelance humanitarian," and tankie-explainer. Charles answers the questions: What is a tankie? Why are tankies so problematic? How do people become tankies? What's the typical profile of a tankie?

The conversation, recorded before Hamas attacked Israel on October 7th, is especially prescient given the Hamas-Israel war, and the ultra-left wing tankie hot takes on the war there.
