        I’m aware that people cry about certain instances for being “tankie” but I wanted to know what you consider “tankie” or otherwise so horrible that you can’t stand to read a post from there. You then went on to rant about whatever instead of simply telling me because you’re full of shit.

          People were literally telling me, loud and proud, that they were tankies and that I should “cry about it”. They were posting lame ass memes, insulting all liberals in the thread and defending their dear leaders in the East. Every thread that became even slightly political was like that. So how does that make me full of shit, asswipe

            So basically you’re mad because they posted memes, insulted you, didn’t feel bad about the dumb “tankie” label you assigned them, and they dared to defend China on some aspects. You’re full of shit because you’re making mountains out of molehills. Looks like you’re following their advice and crying about it.

              Am I supposed to turn the other cheek when someone insults me, shithead? lol Why don’t you follow your own advice, then

              didn’t feel bad about the dumb “tankie” label you assigned them

              They said they were tankies themselves. Do you not read? LOL They were defending themselves for being tankies and memeing aobut it and were full-on apologetic about all these shit countries and citing their favorite authors. How is that making molehills? Explain it. You’re so full of it yourself, you don’t even know. If I’m “crying” what are you doing then, hypocrite.

                You don’t understand. They took on the tankie label to own it instead of letting people like you use it as some unrecoverable insult. Just like how in US politics, being called a commie is so poisonous that politicians do anything to avoid the label. If instead there were politicians who were fine with calling themselves communist, it’d lose its power. You really need to calm down. All this rage is preventing you from understanding simple concepts and also it’s bad for your health.

                  Don’t patronize me, you’re the one who doesn’t know shit. You’re a dick who thinks yourself superior because you think you got it all figured out but all you do is distort, deflect and move the goal post. Talk about everybody else building molehills some more, though. You can lick the “rage” out of my ass if it so bothers you that someone isn’t abashed to call you out.
