The western values Ukraine is defending are becoming more apparent by the day.

      Given that the word “tankie” has been so overused that it just means “anyone to the left of John McCain”, most places are.

        I saw a person lower in the thread talking about Stalin’s USSR being a democracy, while another said that Russia and China can’t be imperialist. Doesn’t seem like a case of overuse to me.

          I saw the tankies in the closet, and they were making authoritarianism, and I saw one of the authoritarianism, and the authoritarianism looked at me.

          So, like, it’s completely meaningful to have a snarl word that refers to everyone left of the neo-cons.

                Tankies don’t exist, don’t you know? There’s no second half between which an enlightened centrist can position themselves. I am the furthest left there is, and you are a liberal.

                  The only thing that exists is children running around calling people tankies when they’re unable to engage in actual discussion. The fact that you call me a liberal highlights just how utterly lost you are. Define what you think a liberal is child.

          Do you think the representational democracy throughout the west is real democracy or just a case of “vote for us every 4 years you pleb then STFU while we collect this lovely lobbyist money, filling our pockets and fail to deliver any campaign promises we ran on”

          And you think tankies are fucking idiots?!

      Worse, it’s sometimes tankies, which means ditching it outright doesn’t feel justified enough
