  Nope. This place is gated as fuck. You are at the whim of moderators that are one bad day away from mental collapse. As much shit that i see here about reddit, i managed 15 years on reddit without a single ban. Even with their shite mods.

  Here you get banned for pointing out obvious bias.

  Tankies are pretty conservative, even if they’ll never admit it.

    Yeah I kinda have started to understand the whole horseshoe theory thing.

    In what meaning of the word? They seem to not favour small government and deregulated economy.

      I wouldn’t view small government as conservative tbh, but I’m not from the US.

      Ultimately it’s a relative term, relative to the status quo. Wikipedia defines it as

      preserve traditional institutions, customs, and values

      Seems the word tankies is used for authoritarian socialists/communists. I personally would view authoritarianism as a rather conservative thing.

      So that is what conservatism is about?

      I am sorry to inform you that there isn’t a conservative party in any country on this planet.

      It’s because tankie means anything the person who uses the word doesn’t like about leftists.
