    POV: you need to make up concern trolling posts conflating a random twitter account that might very well be ironic, with an entire community of users with differing views (see the recent scandal with the .ml mod and transphobia), because you’re just so scared of a segment of the population without even political representation in your country.

      Yes I’m terrified of you 👻

      And in my country communists have decent representation. Though thankfully most communists aren’t tankies.

        Bro, I’m not a tankie, I explicitly said the twitter post is a troll because there’s basically nobody defending all those things. Tankie is just a word that used to be used to refer to hardcore Stalinists, but now it’s degenerated and people use it to refer to Russian nationalists or, worse, anything left of being a lib.

        What country do you live in, if I may ask, where communists have decent representation?

          Tankie is just ‘woke’ but used by libs to punch left and justify being toxic at this point. I primarily organize with anarchists and yet online I get called a tankie.
