Comment on Tankie
Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 1 week agoYes, really!
I addressed your argument re “definition”, what the definition was, and what makes a definition.
It’s okay if you don’t see that, that means that you are suffering from some sort of cognitive dissonance. You can’t see it! It’s like it doesn’t exist!
No accusations have been made, it’s all here for anyone else to see (as long as they don’t share your cognitive dissonance, that is).
What you say or “believe” doesn’t matter, the definition of “tankie” remains “authoritarian communist”, not “peace-loving friends” or what have you. And tankies love tanks and communism and Stalin.
What you personally are or are not doesn’t matter, it’s irrelevant.

That’s not what I said at all. That’s just repeatedly asserting “this is how I use it” while completely ignoring my point.
What is? What have I said that demonstrates I fit your definition of “tankie?”

I didn’t say that’s what you said, I addressed how I responded to you. Obviously.
I don’t care what you are and don’t want to discuss you, thank you.
Tankie means “authoritarian communist”, regardless of what you are or what you think the word means. “Tankie” has nothing to do with “peace”.
Definitions exist independently of you, thank God!

You claimed that you had “directly” addressed all my points, and not just blandly repeated “this is how I use it.” Then you referenced yourself not addressing my point and instead blandly repeating “this is how I use it.”

Indeed, I said that I directly addressed your points because I did.
I never said “this is how I use it.” The definition exists independently of me or you.
And that definition is “authoritarian communist”, and has nothing to do with peace, actually!
