Yeah when CTH was still alive 196 was genuinely good.
It went to ratshit afterwards. CTH was killed, tankiejerk appeared and 196 then started doing anti-tankie stuff. The entire anti-tankie discourse ramped up at that time.
yeah the usual explanation that it's just know-it-all yank teenagers really isn't convincing to me. even to the dorkiest friendless reddit 14 year old there's nothing cool about bein a NATO lib.
