… it’s fine because there’s a hyper-specific word for their aggression?
Not to mention Hitler invading his neighbors was also “just irredentism,” but I’m guessing these people don’t apply the same mental gymnastics in favor of fascists.
Jury’s out on whether or not I’m a liberal. I tend to get accused of all variety of political positions depending on the political affiliation of the speaker in attempt to either generalize to unite their tribe against me or to purity test me out of a shared space of allies.
In other words, Republicans tend to call me “liberal,” “communist,” “socialist,” a “radical leftist,” etc. and tankies tend to call me “liberal,” “fascist,” etc.
I gel pretty well with sane socialists though, which I’m told is distinct from liberalism?
Either way, I’m anti-tankie, so you can go ahead and lose your mind at me if you like.
When your contribution to the discussion consists of nothing but witlessly hurling pejoratives you don’t get to act surprised and offended at getting booted
Don’t call tankies out that they’re tankies or they may get angry and ban you from instances.

The atrocities of the Belgian Congo were just irredentism. We all came out of Africa, after all! /s
You get the gold medal for Mental Gymnastics!
Tankies usually only get silver. Psh.
Damn seems like it’s the “tankies” getting removed and not the smug liberals. I wonder what else you’re wrong about.
Your comment appears to bear very little relevance to what I said, other than maybe it being translated to “ha ha, you got your comments removed!”
I wasn’t really responding to you, since I couldn’t see your comment. The thread just appeared to be leftist responses being removed.
Were you posting like a stinky lib or posting like a cool tankie?
Oh, I’m definitely not a tankie, no.
