What is a tankie?

Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support acts of repression by such regimes or their allies. More specifically, the term has been applied to those who express support for one-party Marxist–Leninist socialist republics, whether contemporary or historical.

    This is not about you this is about the argument you are using.

    You could type “then stop posting there” as a reply to OP as well. It solves nothing except to create echo chambers.

      And I can say the same to you, which I am. Stop posting there if you don’t like it. We’re not talking about OP. We’re talking about you.

        No we’re talking about you.

        You can stop replying if you don’t like it.

        Wow your argument is amazing I am winning every debate with this.

          Is that so? How is this about me? I’d LOVE to see you suss this out.

              So I asked, HOW is it about me when this was never about me. What we were talking about was how you don’t have to post in the communities you’re complaining about. And predictably, you tried to use that as a “gotcha.”

              Where it only just makes you look like a hypocrite.

              So again,

              How is this about me?

              And regarding your little post edit there, you don’t get to declare yourself the winner. It’s a conversation with a random person on the internet. There isn’t a winner/loser. And the fact that you think there is…

              Would make you the loser if there was one.

                I you cannot see how this is about you then scroll up in this thread and if you don’t like it don’t reply.

                  I think I’d rather try and understand the reasoning as you see it-

                  When was this ever about me? It’s a simple question to answer?

                    Then stop posting there.

                    If you don’t like this is about your comment then stop posting here.
