Comment on Tankie
Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 1 week agoThe definition reflects how it’s actually used. That’s what definitions are. They are what is “actually used”. If they weren’t what was actually used, they would cease to be definitions.
It’s not generally actually used towards people who promote peaceful, diplomatic solutions.
It **actually **used to refer to “authoritarian communists” generally.
You should recognize that your subjective experiences never dictate objective reality. You are not “the decider”.
The people who have used the term inappropriately against you were either jerking your chain and using it ironically, or misinformed and stupid.

I’ve already made my arguments and you failed to address any of them. You’re just asserting your definition over and over again. Not interested.
Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 1 week ago
I addressed all of them.
You’re ignoring that because you’re wrong. And that’s fine. See you later, tankie
Objection@lemmy.ml 1 week ago
You didn’t address a single one.
I wear the label tankie with pride. I do indeed oppose the use of tanks in the vast majority of cases, so I am a tankie.
Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 1 week ago
I addressed them each, directly.
And you are a tankie, because you are an authoritarian communist who wants to crush dissent with tanks or any other means.
But you can’t! It’s a tragedy.
