I only learned the etymology lately, but “tankism” is not an ad-hominem attack. It’s a political critique of authoritarianism, which uses tanks (and other repressive measures) against the people in order to defend existing power structures, in the name of a hypothetical socialist State (which is arguably just another form of State capitalism).
So i usually critique marxism/leninism specifically, but “tankism” appears to be a valid umbrella term for all kinds of abuses of power in the name of (illusory) social progress.
Anarkiddie is an insult because it’s using Adultism to communicate a critique, that has absolutely nothing to do with being of young age.
Tankie is not an insult, because it describes those that are in favor of oppressing self organized elements with military force, as long as those rolling the tanks have a red flag or something.
See: the one thing is just ad hominem, while the other is a direct critique of specific behavior and politics.
again: it is adultism.
educate yourself, and stop trying to explain me things I’m obviously already aware off, just so that you can apear in front of yourself as the clever one. Stop that nonsese.

Never heard that one. Glad to be a grown-up utopian anarkiddie then ;)

By using adultism, that is a “prejudice and accompanying systematic discrimination against young people”.

so when you say “kiddie” and “infantile” you don’t refer to young people?
Do you believe yourselves when you say so? I guess not. lol

but sure, hide shitty behavior with “it has nothing to do with that”.
There are alternative to that behavior, and you are capable to choose another approach.
