    No such thing as punching down when everyone is equally represented and cared for. Together, we can make the world a much more hateable place for everyone ❤️

            In theory, but not in practice: they’re called tankies because they’re ideologically identical to the conservative communists who cheered when the USSR sent tanks to suppress the revolutions of more progressive communists.

            sort of a no true scottsman error going on here. i don’t think it’s necessarily beneficial to anyone to gatekeep terms like this, just makes the language used to describe each other a mess to deal with.
