i thought they were anarchists

doesn't matter, still tankies. libs declare anyone who is too left leaning as scary murderous tankies.

tankie is not about what they believe in but how can we destroy their reputation so nobody listens to their actually effective anti-estabilishment rhetoric.

basically a meaningless term used by right wingers for demonization, not a real descriptor of political leaning.

It's a shifting target. Tankie has always been a pejorative for those supportive of socialist states, now this has broadened from "support" to "doesn't fully condemn."

Can't say I remember you, sorry 😅

Well that's just fine, you're way less forgettable then I anyhow, practically infamous here. We have seen eachother in debates before, good old fashion bout's of infighting. lol

Haha, fair. I will say, the idea that I'm "infamous" has always been funny to me. A few people really hate me, while most tend to be on good terms. It generally follows the chart in the meme, dbzer0 is okay with me, the 3 more communist instances tend to like me, while those on the opposite side of the iron curtain, so to speak, have a few people that despise me.

Not really but according to the nazi bars everyone left of Kissinger is one.
