That’s a tankie. nutbutter is asking what a tankLe is. I think it’s safe to assume they’re just playing around because the title font (at least as seen from Hexbear) makes the letter ambiguous.
I also see that while you answered the perceived question correctly and succinctly as always, CobraCommander didn’t catch the joke either but went on to parrot fascist propaganda instead.
I’m sure it probably was a joke, but it still helps IMO to answer genuinely for onlookers. And yea, CobraCommander whitewashing pograms (intentionally or not) is why I think it’s still helpful to counter these and take jokes “seriously” when they come from people that may not be joking.
Sure, the important bit is whether or not the socialist actually supports existing socialism, or condemns existing socialism and simply likes the idea of socialism. The ones that support real, existing socialism are the ones that get attacked, because it means you stand on the side of something that already exists.
What’s tankle?
It’s when you go out on a sunny day wearing capri pants and get sun damage just on the exposed lower part of your leg that connect to the foot
A pejorative for socialists that support socialist states.

I’ve found anarchists are more lenient to many socialists but they will absolutely condemn Marxist-Leninists and Maoists for example

One time I mentioned China and someone told me I should stick China in my urethra.
What the fuck? Wow.
I know. It is at least 7 times bigger than a urethra.
It’s “tankie” and it’s someone that supports sending a taxidriver to a year in a labor camp because he slid into an old guy that was jaywalking
