Dunking on Tankies from a leftist perspective.

A tankie is someone who defends/supports authoritarian or even totalitarian regimes who call themselves "socialist". The term originated from people supporting the 1956 invasion of Hungary by the Soviet Union. Nowadays they are just terminally online, denying genocides, and falling for totalitarian propaganda and calling such regimes "true democracies". remember to censor usernames when necessary.

Not that expensive at all. I'd say the meat-eaters are the ones being agressieve, killing and mistreating all those innocent animals, heating up the atmosphere and minimizing nature as they go. All to pleasure their taste buds.

Speak of the devil.

I love how you believe to know about my life circumstances to the point where you can make such generalized statements on what I can and cannot do, to tell me that "we" are the aggressive ones. Hypocritical, entitled, and highly ironic. But thank you for proving my point.

For one: generalised statements are only about you when you fit the description, you be the judge of that. Second: I did not say what you can or cannot do, only that the tag 'agressive' is on the wrong group of people. You calling me an entitled hypocrite is not so nice, especially as you don't know me at all. Ironic? Yes, from time to time. I could guess your reaction from a mile away.

You didn't made a generalized statement, you directly replied to me and dismissed my very personal statement.

You calling me an entitled hypocrite is not so nice, especially as you don't know me at all.

The irony continues.
