This person, a liberal from Finland, self-identifies as a tankie because he wants to murder Russians. Words officially mean nothing. English class is canceled.

    What is funny is that the term “tankie” is effectively a barrier that stops liberals from potentially moving left and this comment pierces holes through this barrier by distorting the commonly accepted meaning of the word (aren’t “tankies” supposed to be pro-Russia??)

    Combined with the other blatantly horrible and nonsensical comments from the same user it makes me convinced that at least a handful of onlookers on the original post are now more open towards leftism

      On the contrary, if this guy is self identifying as a tankie and they hear about how bad tankies are, this might reinforce it idk.
