    couldnt you put your effort into something worthwhile? make fun of the current authoritarian regimes instead of trying to “own the libs tankies”

      I do loathe authoritarians of all shapes, yet nobody crawls out of the woodwork to moan nearly so loudly as when I “own the tankies”, as you put it.

      I ain’t religous, but there’s not much use in preaching to the choir!

          You forgot to end your sentence with a period, and “loathe” should be in quotes, because you’re quoting them.

            You’re forgetting that I’m speaking with what I’d like to call “modern Internet grammar and syntax” so it’s comfortable appropriate given the context to not use quotes or periods. The quotes are debatable here because I’m not necessarily quoting the person but I am making a statement of fact on spelling.

            So this is less of a gotcha than you think.

      I am seeing more tankie posts recently mocking anyone to the right of them regardless of extreme. Maybe OP is only trying to counter that.
