    Seriously, the OP over there is genuinely deranged.

    Like what the fuck is even going on here:

    I hesitate to call them tankies because they don’t follow the same ideals. These people deride ‘the libs’ but engage in liberalism, calling themselves lgbtq friendly, then they call themselves communist but engage in materialism, they call themselves socialist but agree with authoritarianism.

    I don’t know what to call them besides fascist, but fascist is so non-specific when dealing with these groups that it doesn’t help for identification. We actually need a new name for this group of fascists.

      fascinating, linguists and philosophers would have a field day studying this person.

      I didn't think it was possible to lose a language-game but this person has achieved it.

      Liberals are famously LGBTQ friendly, and not the types of absolute clowns who make me want to yell "God, can you people please just stop circumlocuting and just call me a slur already? You're clearly about to have an aneurysm from not being permitted to call me [redacted] over my preferred pronouns."

      And materialism famously has no place in communism, which is why Marx described dialectical vibesism in such depth in his magnum opus, Das Lemmypost; and socialism is fundamentally opposed to any and all authoritarian measures, because the ruling class famously just gives up its power when it's asked very very nicely.

          Of course if you bring this up to a liberal they'll insist it only happens because of the evil dastardly CCP who hate gays too much for Disney to do more, but also Disney is thoroughly owned by the CCP because they want money

          Or something

        I'm kind of impressed by how they managed to construct whatever the hell that even is

        The great thing about the word "tankie" is that it can mean anything you want.

        Your neighbour who mowes their lawn at seven every sunday morning? Tankie.

        That squirrel that keeps raiding your birdfeeder? Tankie.

        Your wife wants a divorce? She's literally Stalin.
