I ran into a group of Trotskyists once and it turned out they were absurdly boring and wanted me to grab coffee with them for weeks on end before they'd tell me anything, and they apparently read a metric fuckton of theory. So now I know the word Trotskyist. But I guess that makes me a tankie 🤷

No, you're a tankie. Even in that context normal people never actually use that word. I can sit here and make up bullshit stories too, doesn't change what you are.

And stop brigading other instances. Go outside and touch grass

you use a real word

correctly use the historically/globally understood meanings of words

"mm no that's made up tankie nonesense"

This is at least the fourth time I've seen lemmitors do this. Righteously indignant about not knowing things.
