      That’s a tankie. nutbutter is asking what a tankLe is. I think it’s safe to assume they’re just playing around because the title font (at least as seen from Hexbear) makes the letter ambiguous.

      I also see that while you answered the perceived question correctly and succinctly as always, CobraCommander didn’t catch the joke either but went on to parrot fascist propaganda instead.

        I’m sure it probably was a joke, but it still helps IMO to answer genuinely for onlookers. And yea, CobraCommander whitewashing pograms (intentionally or not) is why I think it’s still helpful to counter these and take jokes “seriously” when they come from people that may not be joking.

      I’ve found anarchists are more lenient to many socialists but they will absolutely condemn Marxist-Leninists and Maoists for example
