Because I'm not a lib

The context to this is saying about how they're not a fan of the subreddit LeftWingMaleAdvocates, which is a bad subreddit, it's mostly just anti-feminist and basically just MRA, but they just call themselves left-wing. Most of their "left-wing" stuff is actually just "classical liberal" talking points, so they are bad, but calling them tankie is ridiculous.

        God I hope so, maybe people would finally figure out how meaningless the term is in contemporary context.

            Yeah but then they gotta come up with a new term for us which would be a refreshing change.

            Language is an arms race.

        AOC, Bernie, or should he win, Fetterman, are going to be called tankies before Pelosi.

          Fetterman will simply use his enormous arms to lift hecklers up to his enormous mouth and devour them, much like Saturn devouring his son.

              When he becomes Governor, he'll institute his plan to hide cooked turkeys inside of randomly placed oil drums to ensure that everyone's health bars stay topped off
