What is a tankie?

Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support acts of repression by such regimes or their allies. More specifically, the term has been applied to those who express support for one-party Marxist–Leninist socialist republics, whether contemporary or historical.

    I looked at your history: you were banned for calling people autistic as an insult, among other things.

    There’s literally zero obligation for me to verify anything to you, and my identity doesn’t have anything to do with the conversation at hand.

      Just report the ableism and move on. This person seems to think that everyone is a CIA operative and that autism is an insult.

        Yeah, I figured that out after a little bit of interaction, but I prefer to give the other the benefit of the doubt when i start any conversation.
