      What the hell even is that word? Does that mean that you react to something? Because everyone does.

      I’m seeing the word thrown around lately and it’s one of the dumber reductionist labels I’ve seen in my lifetime.

        did you get banned from Google or something? It’s a common word in political science dating back to the French revolution, not some weird new invention.

    Could it be that people are opposed to secret police regardless of the colors on their flag? No, it must be a western psy-op.

    “Counterrevolutionary” is a word devised in order to avoid saying “rules for thee by not for me”.

    Lol, the first time I’ve ever been screencapped. A guy can’t repost a factoid he read once and accepted non-critically without getting implicitly called a tankie around here.

        Wait — this is amazing. You caught them saying something dumb, but redacted their name. But then they came to your post to out themselves entirely and complain to you, except their explanation is that they’re not a tankie as such, only a complete fool.

        I need a minute.
