anyone who rants against "tankies" online is a liberal
Removed by modconservatives wouldnt use it because they don't follow leftist internet shit, and they already think liberals are communists so no point in even using the word.

Or even "plain clothes officers", because ours are at ALL levels.
Good catch, I forgot about that euphemism
