We're a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end arguing on the internet. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little moral superiority for saying we did.
We'll punish our selfs doing things others would consider torture, because we think it's fun.
We'll spend most if not all of our free time googling Stalin quotes all for the opportunity to drop one in a quote tweet.
Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the grind, all day, the same hot takes over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know every little detail such that some have attained such Marxist nirvana that they can literally recite Das Kapital blindfolded.
Do these people have any idea how many books have been read, tweets replied to, libs and chuds destroyed in frustration? All to latter be referred to as dunking on them?
These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our subreddit? We're already building a new one without them. They take our mods? Tankies aren't shy about creating an alt, or even making a site our selves. They think calling us genocide deniers, authoritarian, non-leftists is going to change us? We've been called worse things by our parents. They picked a fight against a group that's already read Manufacturing Consent. Who enjoy the battle of being way too online. Who take it as a challange when they tell us Communism killed 50 million people. Our obsession with critically supporting Communism after being told we can't is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with the CIA spreading anti-communist propaganda that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex.
Tankies are argumentative, sectarian, by nature. We love a challange. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challange us. You're not special, you're not original, you're not the first; this is just another form of liberalism.
They targeted Tankies.
Tankies.
