    Tankies: it’s a disparaging term used by libs to discredit actual communists!

    Also tankies: check out this video on tankie.tube

    I cannot grasp their relationship to the word, and I think they can’t either. They even removed the comment explaining exactly where the term originated and how it’s used today. Wild. Does that mean we can scare off tankies with etymology?
