    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.

    I’m gonna fill up my block list in about a day at this rate.

        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.
