"Woke" is such a Meatball Ron word. Loser vibes. Fuck that. New word. AOC is a tankie. Joe Biden is a tankie. Mike Pence? Tankie. The Target corporation? Oh, you better believe that's tankies.

Get Jordan Peterson to adopt it. Get JK Rowling to call her opponents "Corbynista tankies". Force liberals to give up "tankie" or sound like freaks.

:frothingfash: : "I HATE TANKIES FUCK JOE BRANDON"

:wojak-nooo: : "NOOO I ALSO HATE TANKIES BUT NOT LIKE THAT I MEAN ACTUAL TANKIE AUTHORITARIAN COMMUNISTERINOS"

:gigachad-hd: : "I literally can't tell the difference"

Then wait like 2 years and it will be gone forever. Just like nobody says "SJW" anymore. :inshallah:

    I unironically like the word tankie because it just means anyone who thinks critically about Western propaganda. I feel more comfortable identifying as a tankie than any specific tendency. Kinda the same way I sometimes get imposter syndrome from specific LGBT labels, but there's no doubt I'm some kinda queer. You know we got our different tendencies and disagreements, but at the end of the day we're all just a couple of tankies :Care-Comrade:

    Leave it to our enemies to come up with broad, inclusive terminology for anyone who doesn't conform

      To hell with ideological differences, if the chuds can unite to make the libs mad why can't we?

        Ngl friend, this comment seems a bit sectarian. We try to keep this space friendly for genuine anarchist comrades (libs coopting the label, on the other hand, are fair game).

          That's who I was referring to. I don't see anarchists here deepthroating NATO boot ( the interloper from raddle the other day notwithstanding).

            Call them anarcho-libs or radlibs or whatever. Like, there's no need to take a word that some anarchists actually use and make it a slur for a thing we already have slurs for.

              That's fair. I've just never seen someone call themself a libertarian socialist who wasn't a dronie.

    Where is the party in opposition that has not been decried as tankie by its opponents in power? Where is the opposition that has not hurled back the branding reproach of tankie-ism, against the more advanced opposition parties, as well as against its reactionary adversaries?

    Two things result from this fact:

    I. Tankies are acknowledged by all European posters to be themselves a power.

    II. It is high time that the Tankies should openly, in the face of the whole world, publish their views, their aims, their tendencies, and meet this nursery tale of the Spectre of Tankies with a manifesto of the party itself.

    To this end, Tankies of various nationalities have assembled in London and sketched the following manifesto, to be posted in the English, French, German, Ital*an, Flemish and Danish languages.

    i really don't mind being called a tankie.

    it's like, damn straight.

    "Cobra 6, this is Night Owl." :meow-anarchist:

    :meow-tankie: "Copy Night Owl. Go for Cobra 6. Over."

    "The chicken is in the pot. I say again, the chicken is in the pot. Over." :meow-anarchist:

    :meow-tankie: "... Cook it."

    shelling commences :tank: :tank: :tank: :tank:

        Anticommunist leftists and dogmatic anarchists (and Maoists, and MLs) are a thing on Twitter, Reddit, really any forum with enough people left of Hillary Clinton. The reason it's not a problem here is because that was all litigated in the Discord & beginning of the site. They all left.

    I think we should link the word "tankie" to some kind of niche fetish so that weird porn shows up whenever someone looks up the word

      GOOD idea. Brainstorming here:

      • fetish for military tanks
      • fetish for fish tanks (breath play idk)
      • being really horny for tank tops
