I think it might hit closer to home, because the insult (accusing someone of being loyal to the empire) is less abstract than insulting someone for having an unscientific world-view. Another benefit is that it makes us seem less like conservatives, and is harder to coopt by patsocs.

Obviously, the insult will probably only become effective if it spreads so that people know what is being referred to. And obviously, liberalism is still a menace.

What do you guys think?

I apologize, I did not realize "tankie" was a pejorative. I thought I had seen people on here use that term to refer to themselves, but maybe that was lemmygrad.

It was probably ironicly.
