I see your point and raise you the fact that I shouldn’t have to deal with people who legitimately want me dead. And a lot of tankies unironically unapologetically do. Same thing I say to the alt-right applies: Free speech isn’t a guarantee of a platform and it absolutely doesn’t mean anyone has to listen to you.

Anarchists laughing at the thought that tankies don’t want them dead.
Tankies, very often, align with fascists on specific policy decisions. That’s a huge part of what makes them tankies in the first place. Having a different aesthetic does not make them not authoritarian. You can talk about tankies supporting LGBTQ+ when most tankies aren’t actively supporting Russia, a nation notoriously anti-LGBTQ+.
Important part of your second point, other leftists.

Which ‘tankies’ want you dead? Are you a fascist?
‘Tankies’ and other leftists are the only ones supporting and fighting for my rights as an LGBTQ+ individual.
