    There are some differences, but also the similarity you mentioned.

    One thing worthy to note though imo, tankies are evangelical. They are literally evangelists, literally evangelising their politics. Evangelism isn’t limited to christianity. Definition #2 of evangelism is “militant or crusading zeal,” they clearly fit that since they want to line up “only landlords I swearsies” up against a wall and won’t shut the ever loving fuck up about it.

    To be fair I’m a linux evangelist, so I can’t talk too much shit, but at least linux is not “shooting people in the head” so I think I’m a little better.

      I take your point but was really referencing a specific but loose group of Christians in the US.
