    Being “slightly less than servile to AmeriKKKan sensitivities while anarchist” is not being “a tankie”.

      Pls entertain my curiosity: Usually the term (“AmeriKKKa” and variants) marks someone as a Maoist, from what I know. I think it came from those circles. Do you know? Curious where folks pick this stuff up. I think it’s pretty hilarious, my father had the KKK burn a cross on his lawn in Mississippi, back in the day apparently,* so I do not take a lot of offence to the critique.

      • He was a lawyer that took on cases from non-whites, I think this was the 1960-70s.

        I do know that Maoists use it, but I think I picked it up when I read about some Black Panthers using it (I mean they probably were Maoists). And also I started doing this when some snarky shitlibs were like “oh you shouldn’t say ‘America’ because Central America is ‘America’” so I’m just like “then I guess we’re doing this now” 😆.

        I’m an anarchist so of course not a Maoist, but I absolutely do not disagree with Maoists about the particular issue of America not being a good thing.
