    No I’m not. Unfortunately one of the problems with tankies is they don’t call themselves that most of the time. But I can confidently claim I’m not because when a fellow leftist disagrees with me on 5% of something, I gently explain why I believe what I do, and then proceed to not be mad if the petty difference continues.

      for the purposes of this survey, Dippy is 100% a tankie. Read it in their own words:

      Unfortunately one of the problems with tankies is they don’t call themselves that most of the time.

      No I’m not [a tankie].

      Dippy’s a tankie, you heard it here first. This person loves crushing people with tanks. This person is an authoritarian monster that crushes people with tanks. Dippy’s actually the tank driver in the tank man photo. Don’t look up the video, Dippy 100% crushed that dude. Any video showing tankman walk away is an AI fabrication.

        It’s 103% true. I crushed the man after interrogating his politics and finding thar we disagreed 6.7% politically. Beyond petty, solidly into incompatible range, it had to be done.
