Tankie has never been a meaningful term. The fact that it's being used this way shouldn't be a surprise.
Yeah but imagine if other leftists were calling you a pinko commie because you think castro was cool or something
Sure, but it gets used to mean Stalinist (despite Stalin dying in 1953) or pro-USSR/China/NK/VN/Cuba in general. Makes zero fucking sense.
I think it's basically just a word applied ad hoc to whatever socialist someone doesn't like, usually MLs. I just sometimes see people respond to something like this by saying that it's misapplying the word as if there's such a thing as a "real tankie".
But obviously self-described tankies are a different story lol
:tank:
You're on a strictly anarcho-tankie website. If you're not an anarcho-tankie your posting privileges get taken away
You are joking but the only two major tendencies on this website are actual hardcore MLs and anarchists, and somehow they all get along. It’s kinda crazy
But obviously self-described tankies are a different story lol
:hoxha-turt: R*ddit libs made me a tankie. :capabara-tank:
i call america boos yankies but they never get it and say some bullshit about new england like stfu wasnt 1 england enough
Ask libs what tankie means everytime they post it challenge 2021
Someone on Twitter was super mad when I called them a gusano claiming it was a racial/ethnic slur. My response was that they should stop being a gusano to not be called one.
We’re already at the point where billionaires wanted to be called “people of means” and landlords consider themselves vilified messiahs.
Recently an almost 2 hour long debate by BadEmpanada with some random Destiny adjacent weirdo popped up about whether or not gusano is a slur popped up in my recommended and I was like, wow, what?
Yeah this was related to that debate where the dude tried to redefine word “slur” as already being an ethnic/racial insult and that gusano was necessarily racist when white Twitter people were calling neoliberal Latinos.
Look, hogs.
You can get an armored vehicle for, no shit, 50,000 dollars.
That's only EIGHTY THREE stimulus checks.
We could pool our bread crumbs and, instead of paying off our debts or paying land lords or some shit, we could buy FUCKING ARMOR and ride on Washington. F'reals. F'really really real.
We could get Brie a fucking tank.
Libs are like lobsters, brainless and always ready to pinch your peepee
Libsters
I'm hoping this trend culminates in mass tankification among people who actually give a shit about the planet and humanity
holy shit this is one of the most russia brained accounts I've seen in a long time.
If you listen to a podcast about "What is to be done" you're a tankie. I don't make the rules.
