Anti-Communists and Anti-Tankies aren't against colonialism nor imperialism, they are actually against socialism and communism

If they use it to mean "person who doesn't get bogged down in stupid details over the USSR (or China) just for the sake of hating a communist country" then fine. I don't care. It just gets old seeing it used as "person left of me, which means they're bad" by the most historically illiterate motherfuckers on the planet. The kind of fuckers who say they want socialism and then cry every time someone protests in a street. Do you see what I mean? It's not the word, I don't care in the end. I get like a death threat per day from random Nazis who (ironically) call me antisemitic for criticizing Israel. I'll take tankie over that, given the choice. But it's worth acknowledging the people calling me or us or whoever "tankie" are absolutely just the dumbest fuckers online. That's all.
Lmao you said that and one appeared soon after.
This one seems a little less dumb than most. I think they're close to connecting the dots. They seem to realise that something is deeply wrong with their worldview and it is making them very angry so they're lashing out at what they perceive to be the cause ("Tankies" ruining socialism). I don't think I was too clear with them, certainly not patient enough, but I do hope they listen anyway.
Well indeed we can hope, though i wouldn't hope too much, i seen that pattern ending with doubledown enough times to
warning switching on
Yeah, I don't think they will come away from this with anything other than "redfash tankies hate the truth! I owned them so hard!" But I think this will be another straw on the camel's back, not the one that breaks it, but will add to the load of doubts their have about their worldview.
If I put the cheese out too obviously the mouse will know what I am doing
But if I eat some cheese in the corner and, "oppsie" drop a small piece in a sticky trap area... I might just awaken to an angry mouse chirping at me.
