    LMAOOO WHAT?? I’m just using the term they use for themselves.

    I ran into a group of Trotskyists once and it turned out they were absurdly boring and wanted me to grab coffee with them for weeks on end before they’d tell me anything, and they apparently read a metric fuckton of theory. So now I know the word Trotskyist. But I guess that makes me a tankie 🤷

      you use a real word

      correctly use the historically/globally understood meanings of words

      “mm no that’s made up tankie nonesense”

      This is at least the fourth time I’ve seen lemmitors do this. Righteously indignant about not knowing things.

      No, you’re a tankie. Even in that context normal people never actually use that word. I can sit here ans make up bullshit stories too, doesn’t change what you are.

      And stop brigading other instances. Go outside and touch grass
