What is a tankie?
Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support acts of repression by such regimes or their allies. More specifically, the term has been applied to those who express support for one-party Marxist–Leninist socialist republics, whether contemporary or historical.
How is any of this trolling or bad faith? I am being completely sincere.
The fact that you’re a sockpuppet account that was just exposed by me doesn’t mean I’m trolling. It means you’re incompetent and should get better at your job if you want to persuade anyone.
Although I suppose when your employer is able to ban anyone who exposes their employees it isn’t as much of an issue. Why persuade anyone when you can just destroy them, right?
In the .01% chance that you’re an actual person, you need to toughen up. The internet isn’t supposed to be an endless game of gotcha where you report people for saying mean words. Society isn’t supposed to be like that either, and wasn’t until 2014. Toughen the fuck up and abandon this hall monitor/tattle tale personality type. It makes everyone hate you. Which you would pick up on if you had any awareness of social cues - which may be hard to obtain if you’re autistic, which was my previous point
Regardless officer, thank you for safeguarding the oligarchs from the masses. You’re doing a great job of keeping their boot on our throats
